COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
In addition; just look at that excellent funnel logo!
When compared to some of today's bland, corporate non-entities, such as this random EXAMPLE , if a shipping company wanted a memorable & stylish logo, they could do worse than following the propellor and steering wheel on the Portalon.
