Draft:McDonald's

McDonald's is an American multinational fast food chain and real estate company, founded in 1940 as a restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino, California, United States. They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand, and later turned the company into a franchise, with the Golden Arches logo being introduced in 1953 at a location in Phoenix, Arizona.

1st Logo (1997-2000)
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "did somebody say". A red speech bubble with a yellow outline with the Golden Arches with a question mark to the right of it appears to the right of "did somebody say".

Technique: Pretty good 2D animation for the late 90s.

Availability: Seen on late 90s commercials for McDonald's.

2nd Logo (2003-2009)
