Carbon Costume logo
Torch Lady (Columbia Pictures Logo)
The iconic Torch Lady logo for Columbia Pictures has been a version of a woman holding a torch since 1928. The current version, draped with a blue cloth instead of a flag, is based on a photograph Jenny Johnson taken by photographer Kathy Anderson in 1991. In the original photograph, the model was draped in a white sheet that was strategically pinned in place. For your costume, you can choose a flowy sleeveless dress with a v-neck and sandals to evoke the same Greek inspiration as Columbia’s long lineage of logos. Finish your costume with a curly wig, a long blue scarf draped over your left arm, and a light up torch held aloft in your right hand.
Sun-Maid Raisin Girl
Wearing a red bonnet and holding a tray overflowing with grapes with the sun to her back, Lorraine Collett became the face of Sun-Maid Raisins in 1915. The logo was updated in 1970.
Brawny Man
Brawny Man is the manliest of the major paper towel brands. But he got a makeover a few years back and cleaned up his image. So if you wanna go full brawny like back in the 70s, you’ll want to grow out your hair, wear a mustache, and show a little chest.
Utz Girl
The Utz Girl is the face of a snacking empire stretching from Hanover, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland. You might consider accessorizing with the crab chips, but go with the original potato chips for the classic look. And most important of all, remember that Utz are better than nuts.
Cracker Jack Boy
Originally called “Candied Popcorn and Peanuts”, Cracker Jack was sold at the first Chicago’s World Fair. Not only is it well known for coming with a prize, but it will be forever linked with baseball as sung in “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”.
Morton Salt Umbrella Girl
The Morton Salt Umbrella Girl was created all the way back in 1914 and is still going strong today. For a long time now, it’s been considered one of the most famous logos. Still, if your outfit draws confused looks from young ones, you have your Morton salt on hand to show them.
