What does it means the McDonald's logo?

Question

What is the meaning of the Golden Arches???

Answer 1

The Golden Arches are the famous symbol of McDonald's, a fast-food hamburger chain based in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA. They were introduced in 1953, when Dick and Mac McDonald began franchising their company, as part of the standard building design: a pair of stylized arches, one at each side of what was then a walk-up hamburger stand. When viewed from an angle, the design was reminiscent of the letter M, and was incorporated into the company's logo. While McDonald's dropped the physical arches from nearly all of its restaurants in the 1960s, the Golden Arches have remained in the logo, and as a commonly understood term for the company.

Answer 2

McDonald's used to have double golden arches, making a clear M. Two years ago, they took away one of the arches. You can still see the double-arches, though, on Ronald McDonald, McDonald's charity mascot. In both cases, however, the arches represent McDonald's French fries, which are, supposedly still among the best in the country.
