About This Logo Design
Yahoo! Inc. is a company that provides services via the Internet worldwide. Jerry Yang and David Filo were graduate students at Stanford University when they created a website named “David and Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web” in January 1994. David and Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web was a list of other web sites, organized in a hierarchy, as against a searchable index of pages. “David and Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web” was renamed “Yahoo!” in April 1994 and on January 18, 1995, the yahoo.com domain was created. In May 2009, along with a new theme redesign, the yahoo logo, that used to feature the yahoo name with an exclamation point in all in red, was changed to purple with no outline or shadow and sometimes, the logo is abbreviated with Y!.
