Iron is a metallic chemical element. It’s atomic number is 26. It is the most common metal for everyday use but oxide in the air can turn the metallic surface into a rusty, red brown surface. It is rarely found in this form on the surface of the earth because it oxidizes.Thought it discolours, iron is the most abundant metal. It is rarely found in this form on the surface of the earth because it oxidizes. Iron is a metallic chemical element. The discoverer of iron is unknown. The first thought wrought iron used by mankind was during prehistory came from meteors. Since discovered, iron started being used, and still is used all over the world. It is the most abundant element on the Earth and comes from the Earth’s crust. It has also been used for military weapon making.

Below are 15 logo's I have created using the two letters F & E, that make of the symbol for iron. The fonts used were Futura Condensed ExtraBold and Utopia Std Bold Subhead Italic.
