Virgin Records
Virgin Records is a British recording label founded by British entrepreneur Richard Branson, and Nik Powell in 1972 after a period of selling discount records via their small shop in London. The name predates the record label which was set up after the music shops. The name Virgin, according to Branson (in his autobiography), arose from a colleague of his when they were brainstroming business ideas. She suggested Virgin - as they were all new to business - like "virgins". As a further note the infamous Virgin logo was formed when they met with a Graphic Designer - who scrawled Virgin on a napkin. They never hired him and just used the blotted image from the napkin.
