Ted Kaczor Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Several weeks ago, Russ Huber posted the pic. of first GE logo from 1892 (cannot find that post), Jim Kovar commented on it that this should be framed to preserve it, well I suffer with my arthritic hands for a long time but succeed making it out of brass including 1/4" Dia, circle frame, all solid and polished brass. The first picture is the original copy from Russ's post, the second is my brass work. Pictures are not best, it look much better in real. You be the judge. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Kaczor Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Question is; was it used on anything, or it was just a drawing prototype/tryout, Jim, Russ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hoatson Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 GE lamp sockets were marked “GECo” until around 1910, at which time their common round GE logo appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 It's fantastic work. Why would GE use a lowercase "G?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: Because uppercase cursive "G" would look awkward squeezed into a circle... ...HINT: Think "GENERAL MILLS" logo...💡🤔 When making a logo, easily identifiable is key. ...brought to you by: gE 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Kaczor Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 both G and E are capital letters, as usual the style makes difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Mevis Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) I believe they refer to that as "script" style cursive, which was more common back in the late 19th and early 20th Century. The Form of Cursive that was taught in school in the late 20th Century (when I was in school, which was in the 1990s) is what's referred to as "simplified" cursive. Its just like how in Chinese they have "Traditional" and "Simplified" Chinese. Edited December 14, 2022 by Levi Mevis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
