Telegraph Logos and Brands

Telegraph communication, which revolutionized information transmission in the 19th century, provides the historical context for the “Telegraph” section. Western Union, founded in 1851, dominated the North American telegraph market and later became a money transfer service as telegraphy declined. The Daily and Sunday Telegraphs in London retain the word “telegraph” in their names as a tribute to an era when Morse code tapping measured the speed of news transmission. Logos from this section may include symbols of historical telegraph companies, modern media brands, and museum institutions that preserve the legacy of a technology that paved the way from horse couriers to global communication.
