Nevada Logos

Famous Logos from Nevada  Nevada is famous for many things throughout history, from Lake Tahoe and its crystal clear water to the vibrant Las Vegas strip, but what some might not know is that Nevada is also the state where many businesses found their humble origins.

Indeed, major conglomerates such as MGM Resorts International started here, but while the casino business has been good for state revenue, Nevada’s professional reaches span the country, and in many cases, the globe, with far greater notoriety than its gaming giants.

Here we have a selection of some of the famous companies (and their logos!) that Nevada is well-known for. 

Trane The world of HVAC wouldn’t be the same without this incredible company. When the commercials say that “It’s hard to stop a Trane,” they mean it and their air conditioning, heating, and ventilation products control the interior climate of more homes and businesses than even they can count.

Trane was launched before it became a global name by the founder, James Trane, in 1886. Tinkering with vapor heating concepts to combat the cold winters in La Crosse, Wisconsin, he pioneered a new way to heat and cool a space. It only makes sense he would build his company in the desert if air conditioning was to be the ultimate goal of his product line.

The logo was meticulously thought out and hasn’t changed since its inception in 1862 with one small adjustment in 1984 when the slogan “It’s hard to stop a Trane” was added. The logo was planned to be simple and unyielding, beginning with an oval with lines of movement to indicate the air blowing from their systems, followed by the name in all caps, the entire logo in red.

 

Liebherr Group One of the largest manufacturers of construction equipment, Liebherr has been owned and managed by the Liebherr family since 1949. Based in Elko, Nevada, their line of cranes, both mobile via a manned conveyance and tower cranes, are a staple in many building sites and are featured often in the construction of plenty of new high-rises across the country.

The logo is very basic and has remained the same for the purpose of steadfast brand recognition. The lettering is a blocky font and can either be all in black, can be silver on a deep gray background, or blue for the Liebherr aerospace division. Something to note about the logo that makes it unique is the relatively non-descript design. It doesn’t meet the thresholds for copyrighting, so, another private company can use it for their own logo without legal ramifications.

 

Amerco Started in 1945 in Reno, NV, Amerco is one of the largest privately held businesses in the US and is considered one of the best companies to work for in the country. You have probably never heard of this industry leader, but we guarantee you know of and have seen its fleet. Amerco is the parent company of U-Haul.

There are lots of companies called Amerco, all with their logos. The only one you need to look for when seeking this Amerco is probably the most unassuming, done in a normal, non-whacky font and colored in brown. They have used the same logo since the beginning, instead of letting the sides of those colorful UHaul trucks and trailers speak to their collective professional sense of adventure.
