Artifact Overview
Like the Walt Disney Company, Ford Motor Company's logo features its founder's name in a flowing script. Also like Disney, Ford's logo isn't a direct copy of its founder's handwriting. C. Harold Wills, a Ford engineer and a former letterpress printer, created the distinctive logo script with his typesetting kit in 1906. Henry Ford's actual signature is seen here.
