#32: A One Hit Wonder
You’ve seen the Columbia Pictures logo a million times, but do you know the story behind it? Did you know that the model for that iconic statue was a complete newcomer to the world of modeling? That’s right, in 1992, a woman named Jenny Joseph was chosen to pose for the Columbia Pictures logo, despite having never modeled before.
And while her striking image would go on to become one of the most recognizable logos in the world, Joseph herself never modeled again. It’s a testament to the power of a single moment, and a reminder that sometimes the most unexpected things can make a huge impact. So the next time you see that regal figure holding her torch and gazing out at you from the screen, remember Jenny Joseph and the power of an unforgettable image.
