So, I think there’s something you should know. When I made this quiz I made a mistake. I keep meaning to go back and change the quiz to fix it but it’s been so long that it’s a low priority for me.

It’s a logo that happens to look a lot like Helvetica, which was designed the same year, and has often been recreated in Helvetica. But there’s a very nerdy story about it’s creation and maintenance that is probably perfect HN material that more of you would appreciate if only I’d noticed this post sooner. But for those of you who are still here, the “digital” logo story can be found at: https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200712/ancient_history_the_di...
