This would be an interesting article....if it were sourced and my searches found absolutely nothing. Also, you've thought this could've been changed since June 2011 and the author was a SPA.

Delete. No references whatsoever for this individual. There is a totally unrelated "Logan's Law" dealing with cruelty to animals in Michigan, but absolutely nothing related to graphic design. Moreover, the quoted text of the supposed Logan's Law is found nowhere except this article and mirrors. The same is true for the supposed modern term "maximum stand-out size." In addition, relatively few companies used logos in advertising during the 1880s, rendering the rationale for Logan's Law irrelevant. Appears to be a long-lived hoax.

Delete It's a hoax. If you do a reverse google image search of the photo, you'll find that other photos exist using the same shirt/shoulder/jacket image, identical right down to the shading of the collar and lines of the shoulder. For whatever reason, heads have been placed on the neck/shoulder of the same image and used on Facebook and possibly elsewhere. If you look at the photo, the nose is highly distorted -- if this were an historical photo, maybe it could be attributed to photo degradation or even a deformity. But obviously it was meant to be funny. If the photo was uploaded by the article's author, than the whole thing is clearly a hoax. An odd one at that. freshacconci talk to me 02:22, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Freshacconci Haha, I had noticed that and FWIW I performed my own image search and the only thing I found was this which is complete with a gravestone picture. This sure is peculiar. SwisterTwister talk 03:23, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
