Hi Vince,

There's no truth to the story. The Johnson & Johnson logo has been around since the 1880s. It appeared on our first products over a hundred years ago, so it couldn't have been designed in the 1970s. Throughout this blog, you'll see pictures of old products dating back to the beginning of Johnson & Johnson with the logo, which was based on James Wood Johnson's signature.
