Evolution of kodak logo


  • Early 1900's.  Kodak is the first company to integrate its name and look into a symbol.
  • 1935's.  Focus moved to the Kodak name and the red and yellow "trade dress" color.
  • 1960's.  The corner curl was introduced.
  • 1971's.  The mark retained the red and yellow colors and the Kodak name, but a box and graphic "K" element were added.
  • 1987's.  A more contemporary type font streamlined the Kodak name within the existing logo.
  • Today.  The box is gone, simplifying the logo. The rounded type font and distinctive "a" give the name a more contemporary look.
