Columbia's logo is the female personification of the USA, Columbia, holding a torch. [1]. From 1936 to 1975, the Columbia "Torch Lady" appeared with shimmering light behind her. Taxi Driver was the last film to use the "Torch Lady" in her classic appearance. From 1975 to 1981, Columbia (like other studios) experimented with a new logo. It began with the familiar lady with a torch, but the torch-light rays then formed an abstract blue semi-circle depicting the top half of the rays of light, with the name of the studio appearing under it. The television counterpart used only the latter part of the logo, and ...

As automobiles became popular in the United States, the need for gas stations arose. The mass-production techniques for automobiles by Henry Ford allowed consumers to purchase cars at an affordable price. This increase in car ownership resulted in a greater demand for filling stations. The first gas station was built in 1907 by Standard Oil of California (now ChevronTexaco) in Seattle WA., and early on they were known to motorists as "filling stations". Standard Oil began erecting roadside signs of their logos as advertising for their gas stations. Filling station ...

In King's nonfiction book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, King discusses his writing style at great length and depth. King believes that, generally speaking, good stories cannot be called consciously and should not be plotted out beforehand but are better served by focusing on a single "seed" of a story and letting the story grow itself from there. King often begins a story with no idea how the story will end. He mentions in the Dark Tower series that, halfway through its lengthy writing period (nearly 30 years), King recei ...
