#8: Columbia Pictures Logo
You’ve likely seen this logo hundreds of times since it’s the introduction of many famous movies. But, if you’re anything like us, you’ve never given it much thought. At best, we would have thought this image was an artist’s painting based on his imagination. However, we never imagined the image came from real life!
In 1924, a model named Jenny Joseph posed for a studio artist to create the introduction for Columbia Pictures. She later confessed that she had no clue that she would go on to become the face of such an iconic image but that she got a kick out of seeing it every time she went to the movies.
