The evolution of McDonald's logos over time:
While McDonald's has retained its classic golden arch “M” logo over the years, it has also fine-tuned the design several times. The earliest logos were very detailed and included full restaurant names, but in recent years, McDonald's has opted for a more concise approach that relies heavily on the golden arches as a standalone visual symbol. The logo has become minimalistic yet still very recognizable, representing McDonald's global brand presence.
