Wired had a piece several years ago with an interesting graphic showing the large proportion of logos that were mostly or entirely blue. They put the text on the Web, but not (for some reason) the graphic. Luckily, someone put it on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/philgyford/56867986/ Re: The use of blue in most of the logos

There are about 7 versions of the Netscape logo I was able to dig up online. The square I featured here came right after they ditched the ship wheel and right before they homogenized and went round.
