When Steve Jobs made Masayoshi Son change the logo of SoftBank
On his India visit last month, Masayoshi Son, founder and CEO, SoftBank, revealed what it took him to do business with Steve Jobs — changing of the company's logo.

In a media interview, Son said, "He (Jobs) told me that the SoftBank logo was ugly and I must change it if I wanted to do business with him. I changed the logo (to the current logo) and he liked it."

Several rounds of deep googling and emails, to SoftBank later, there is still no trace of the logo that Jobs found "ugly". But the mind remains curious and the search for the logo is on. So, a shout out for anyone who's seen SoftBank's old logo to share it.

Perhaps, Son's trusted lieutenant, Nikesh Arora could spare a moment tweeting it?.
