Most Expensive Logos in the World

Have you ever wondered which are the most expensive logos in the world?

We all know how important is a logo for a website and most important, for a company. Check out our top list of the world’s most expensive logos.

#5 ANZ  â€" $15 million

The logo was designed by M&C Saatchi for the price of $15 million. The 3 pieces reflect ANZ’s 3 core markets (Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific). The human shape represents customers and staff. But what is ANZ ? In case you never heard of it, ANZ stands for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and it is the largest bank in New Zealand and the 3rd largest in Australia.  Founded in 1835, ANZ operates in 30 other nations.

#4 Posten Norge â€" $55 million

This logo is so expensive. Posten Norge is a Norwegian postal service. In Norwegian, ‘posten’ means the post or the mail. Founded in 1647 by Henrik Morian, this postal service has now a new logo. A more expensive one! Communications director, Elisabeth Gjolme said: ‘We will keep the name, but it brings a new symbol. The new Post-mark is a modernization of the old logo, which, with its classic horn and royal crown is something most people have a relationship with. â€" It was important for us to keep some of the tradition in the new logo.’

#3 Accenture â€" $100 million

The logo of Accenture was designed by Landor Associates. The logo is very simple, with a text. The angled bracket above the letter ‘t’ signifies forward movement of the company into the future. Accenture is an organization providing outsourcing services, technology and management consulting, with 281.000 employees.

#2 BP â€" $211 million

Another logo redesigned by Landor Associates in 2008. BP stands for British Petroleum, and it is a British multinational gas and oil company with the headquarter in London. It’s the 5th largest energy company by market capitalization. So, it deserves a logo this expensive.  The Helios mark symbolizes the newly merged company. The logo is bright and bold, with natural forms. It looks good in green.

#1 Symantec â€" $1.28 billion

This is #1 from our world’s most expensive logos top list. But it is kinda expensive, don’t you think?  Chief marketing officer, Carine Clark declared : ‘ We believe in today’s connected world that the Symantec check mark will stand for confidence, the same way the Nike swoosh stands for fitness. The new logo signals Symantec’s vision to bring together identity and device security, information protection, context and relevance and the benefits from leveraging the cloud â€" all critical enablers of confidence in a connected world.’ The VeriSign check mark is one of the most recognized marks.

Most Expensive Socks In The World

1 Flares 0 Facebook 1 Google+ 0 LinkedIn 0 1 Flares ×

Bet you’re wondering which are the most expensive socks in the world! Keep reading!

It’s so difficult to decide what to get for your loved ones for the holidays . You don’t have to worry now, because a new luxury knitwear brand from Germany called Falke is selling these days pairs of socks that happen to be the most expensive ever made in this world.

These socks will be sold for $1,188 because they are made of Vicuna. This fabric is made from the ultra fine hair of the Peruvian Vicuna and it is so rare and expensive at the same time. This explains why just 10 pairs of socks are available for sale.

Most Expensive Socks In The World

The socks have been made alongside 20 pullovers with the same Vicuna fabric. Each of pullovers costs $3,300. Because socks are a Christmas stocking staple, Falke is looking to capture the high-end festive season shopper looking for one of the most luxurious and unique gifts.

The socks will come with a golden-brown presentation box that resemble the Llama- like camelid originating from Peru. The Camelid produces very fine and delicate wool. The wool is so delicate it can’t be dyed. The socks are therefore available in one color , the golden brown. Any attempts to dye Vicuna fabric have always resulted in irreversible damage.

Most Expensive Socks In The World-Vicunas

The problem is that there are only 10 pairs, so if you need one you must place the order quickly. The Vicuna socks are part of Falkes’s autumn/winter collection.

Falke’s limited edition pullovers will be available in two neckline choices  v-neckline and roll. The pullovers are expected to offer a luxury spin on Falke’s mainline menswear collection which is mostly made from merino wool, silk and cashmere.

Given the fact that Vicuna fabric is as expensive as gold when you consider weight, the  $3,300 price tag is justified when you consider other factors like the difficulty involved in getting the fabric .

Most Expensive Socks In The World

One Vicuna produces approximately one pound of wool. When you consider the fact that Vicuna’s are endangered camelid species and they can’t be domesticated, it is easy to see why these pair of socks and pullover are so expensive.

We hope you liked our article about the Most Expensive Pair Of Socks In The World !

World’s Richest Women of 2013

Do you wonder who has ruled the world this year? Let’s see who the richest women of 2013 are.

There are just a few days left until 2014. We all know that, but while some still struggle to find the right outfit for New Year’s Eve, some have sit down to draw the line and see what this year has brought to them. And, as always, some have succeeded more than others, so let’s see who are the richest women of 2013, that have rocked the business world this year.

1. Liliane Bettencourt â€" $30 Billion

Richest women of 2013

Even if she is now 90 years old, she is still the principal shareholder in the largest cosmetics company L’Oreal. Her father founded L’Oreal and being his only daughter, she inherited stocks after his death. She has a fortune of $30 billion, of which 6 billion made last year, and that makes her also the wealthiest female in all European countries and in France. A little example to understand the power this woman has: just some months ago she sold her island Paradise in Seychelles for around $60 million. This gave her profits of $42 million.

 2. Christy Walton â€" $28.2 Billion

Richest women of 2013

Christy and her $28.2 Billion fortune, up nearly $3 billion from last year, ranks #11 in the list of rich people in the world and #1 in United States of America. She owns the largest retailing chain Wal-Mart, which she inherited from her husband John Walton.

3. Alice Walton â€" $26.3 Billion

Richest women of 2013

Business runs in family, so Alice, the sister-in-law of Christy Walton and the only daughter of Wal-Mart founder becomes the third richest woman in the world with a fortune of $26.3 Billion. She ranks #16 in the list of richest people in the world and is considered by Times Magazine as one of the most influential people in the world.

4. Iris Fontbona â€" $17.4 Billion

Richest women of 2013

Iris inherited her husband and her family controls Antofagasta, which is one of the largest copper miners on the planet. Her fortune of $17.4 Billion makes her the richest person in Chile and  #35 in the list of Forbes Billionaires. She also has control over company Quinenco, the country’s second-largest bank (Banco de Chile), largest brewer (CCU) and the biggest shipping company in Latin America (CSAV).

5. Gina Rinehart â€" $17 Billion

Richest women of 2013

Her source of wealth is from mining, as she is the daughter of late Lang Hancock who was a mining tycoon and whose business she inherited. Her fortune of $17 billion makes her #35 in the list of most powerful women in the world.

I find the stories of these ladies very inspiring. May we all do our best and become billionaires!

As that was not enough, the cake is adorned with the rarest stones from the Sapphire family and draped with beautiful jewellery, including necklaces, rings and brooches.

Strawberries Arnaud’s â€" $1.4 million

World’s most expensive desserts

These mouth-watering ice-cream strawberries with citrus and red wine are well known, but Arnaud’s restaurant in New Orleans French Quarter goes far beyond and offers the strawberries with a unique diamond ring once belonging to the British financier Sir Ernest Cassel. Also, they are accompanied by a rare port from a $24,850 King’s Charles X crystal cave liqueur set.

Platinum Cake - $130,000

Lamps are a must have in your home.

They all are wrapped using a copper foil technique. The lamp, which is made of bronze, also features 12 lights and 8 Fravile Glass globes. It has a 28 inches diameter and 34.75 inches height.

Most expensive haircuts

 Let’s take a look at the world’s most expensive haircuts.

Most expensive haircuts

If you never seem to make your hair behave like you wish, then this is for you. Especially now, during the holiday season, we all want to try different things and have the fanciest hairstyles. Although an average haircut in America costs around $45, if you want to get your hair styled by a professional, things spice up a little. So, let’s see where you can go if you want one of the most expensive haircuts:

1.      Stuart Phillips â€" $16,000

This included first class flight from Italy to London, being brought in a limo from the airport to the salon, and being treated as a  VIP for two days with a Champagne lunch, a Shiatsu / Acupressure head & scalp massage, an assortment of personalized L’Oreal hair products, and personal haircutting lessons from Stuart Phillips himself. You can find this magic salon in London’s Covent Garden and make sure you look good when you go because you can always run into David Hasselhoff, Ivana Trump, Jean Claude Van Dam or Kirsten Dunst.

2.      Orlando Pita â€" $800

Most expensive haircuts

Orlando’s salon is in New York City and for the price of $800 you get a haircut and a 15 minute head massage. And I guess that massage is pretty good, as he has a long list of celebrity clients queuing up. So, if you want your hair to look like the one of Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Oscar De La Renta, Vera Wang, Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Connelly or Naomi Campbell pay him a visit.

3.      Sally Herchberger â€" $800

She has a particular style and her A-List affiliations are well known, so people that want a taste of the celebrity lifestyle don’t think about the money when they make an appointment at this salon.

4.      Frederic Fekkai â€" $600

Most expensive haircuts

Frederic says that he can offer more than a haircut, that he gives his clients a unique and personalized look that is also easy for them to maintain outside of his salon. And some of these happy customers are celebrities like Liv Tyler or Kim Basinger

5.      Serge Normant - $500

Most expensive haircuts

You can find Serge at John Freida Salon in New York City and the reason to go there is that he works with high fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and for $500 he can make you shine like Julia Roberts or Sarah Jessica Parker.
