Amazon logo:
Jeff Bezos created it. He had big dreams for this business and
expected to do huge volume selling, so he renamed his company "Amazon" after the world's most voluminous river.
The logo has a very simple design: The word Amazon A small yellow arrow between the first A and the Z
letters. The yellow arrow implies that they have everything from A to Z and also represents the smile on the customer's face

Brand Recognition
The whole point of creating a logo is to build brand recognition. So, how do you go about doing this?
It varies from case to case, but the goal with the logo is for the average person to instantly call the brand to mind.
