 Sometimes it's not easy to find the complete origin story of a company logo. General Motors knows who created its enduring Chevrolet bowtie logo and when -- company co-founder William C. Durant in 1913 -- but the inspiration for the design is lost to history. The prevailing theory is that Durant was inspired by a wallpaper pattern in a French hotel, but other theories include that Durant was inspired by a similar pattern he saw while on vacation in Virginia in 1912, or that Durant created a stylized version of the Swiss flag as a nod to Louis Chevrolet's Swiss birthplace.

 Audi's logo has been four interlocking circles since 1932, after the company that was founded in 1909 absorbed three other automakers -- Horch, DKW, and Wanderer. Each ring represents one of the companies.

 Sure, Walt Disney came up with the idea of Mickey Mouse and voiced his animated character, but he didn’t draw him. Ub Iwerks, Disney’s favorite animator, is responsible for creating Mickey’s signature ears and look.

 If you don't have easy access to an outdoor barbecue grill, don't let that stop you from enjoying the delicious and smoky flavor of grilled food. Simply plug in the Gotham Steel Smokeless Electric Grill ($59). It's a nonstick ceramic grill pan attached to a heat-proof frame. There's also a drip pan to catch the mess.
