Lan Ron was a California-based construction firm active in the late 20th century. The company operated as Lan Ron Builders, Inc., holding a California general contractor license that expired in 1997, with records placing the business in Laguna Hills, CA.[1] The company’s Florida branch was listed as inactive as of September 2000.[2]
Design and History
The Lan Ron logo is documented in the reference work Top Symbols and Trademarks of the World, a multi-volume compendium of international logo designs published in 1973.[3] The directory credits the mark to designer Frank R. Cheatham, who was born in 1936 in Beeville, Texas, and worked at the Los Angeles design studio Porter & Goodman Design, located at 7777 Sunset Blvd.[3]
Cheatham was also an author of design textbooks, co-writing Design Concepts and Applications with Jane Hart Cheatham and Sheryl Haler Owens, first published by Prentice-Hall in 1983.[4] The Lan Ron entry appears among Cheatham’s credited works in the Top Symbols volume, which lists multiple entries by the designer at the Porter & Goodman studio.[3]
Beyond the designer attribution, the published record does not provide a detailed description of the Lan Ron mark’s visual form, its construction, or the specific date of its creation. The company’s construction industry context is supported by its contractor licensing and business records, but no primary source documents the logo’s intended symbolism or design rationale.
