Do you know what Airborne logos are? In World War II, different military units started identifying themselves with logos. Some of these were even drawn by Walt Disney, who was an ambulance driver in World War I. The Navy asked Disney to draw them a logo for a new ship and soon after, a whole bunch of military units were coming up with their own unique logos.  The logos would be painted on the sides of airplanes and other military vehicles to give a sense of identity to the various...

That wouldn’t be very helpful, would it? But, that’s essentially what happens when a parent buys an educational toy for their child and then just gives the child the toy and leaves them with it.
