Golden Arches

The Golden Arches are the iconic, yellow “M” shaped logo of McDonald's, one of the world's largest fast-food chains. They symbolize the company's brand and are easily recognizable worldwide. The arches originated from the design of McDonald's first restaurant in the 1950s, which featured a modern, architectural structure with overlapping arches. Over time, these arches became simplified into the simple "Golden M," representing quick service, consistent quality, and the global presence of McDonald's. The logo is a powerful marketing tool that instantly communicates the brand to consumers globally.
