Kodak Logo History

• Early 1900's. Kodak is the first company to integrate its name and look into a symbol.
• 1930's. Focus moved to the Kodak name and the red and yellow "trade dress" color.
• 1960's. The corner curl was introduced.
• 1970's. The mark retained the red and yellow colors and the Kodak name, but a box and graphic "K" element were added.
• 1980'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.
