From '88 to '02 the photoshop logo has consisted of an eye. It was mainly a photo editing software and people are common photography genre. So something like a human eye was appropriate in dictating that this was photo editing software. Once Adobe launched Creative Suite, the logo drastically changed for '03-'05. It went from eyes to feathers. This move might have been done to emphasize the creative and painterly side of photoshop since the software was already well known and really becoming an industry standard. That logo quickly faded and a simple blue square with the P.S. initials took its place in '07 and on. Again, photoshop is widely known to the point where it has become a verb. An elaborate logo was unnecessary. The current simple logo is shared with other Adobe software to suggest interconnectivity. The blue color and initials are the only identifiers needed.
