'''Speedee''' was the first [[McDonald's]] mascot before [[Ronald McDonald]] was created and portrayed by [[Willard Scott]]. He was also the first company logo before the use of the [[Golden Arches]] design from 1962. Some older McDonald's stores still have a Speedee sign in front (as well as some re-built ones without updating the sign). Speedee was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head.
