racist Logos and Brands

Throughout history, several brands have used images in their logos that have subsequently been recognized as racist or offensive to certain ethnic groups. The “Racist” section brings together the logos of companies whose visual symbols have been criticized for containing racial stereotypes, caricatures, or colonial motifs. Some of the brands featured have rebranded and abandoned controversial elements, while others are engaged in public debate. Brands in this category are examined in the context of the historical evolution of visual identity and how changing social norms are forcing companies to rethink once acceptable images.
