## 有趣事实
Citigroup's "red umbrella" logo was inherited from Travelers Group — specifically from the Travelers Insurance Company, which had used the umbrella symbol since the 19th century. When the Citicorp-Travelers merger was announced, the umbrella was chosen to represent protection and global reach. It remains one of the most recognizable logos in finance, even after Travelers was spun off.
