Happy Oreo Day! No, I didn't really realise this was a thing either. But I'm delighted I've found out about it because it's led me to a beautiful graphic design moment, full of retro joy that beautifully charts design across the decades.

It turns out the Oreo logo has been around since 1912, and since then has taken on some stunning logos that encapsulate the design of the time. Though today the logo is quite minimal and, dare I say, bland (certainly not one of our best logo picks) that hasn't always been the case. Some of the old ones were fabulous. Stand by as I show you some logos (almost) as delicious as the cookies themselves.
