KFC logo history and meaning

KFC logo history

The original KFC logo was created by Lippincott & Margulies in 1952. From that time on, the stylized face of Colonel Sanders, the founder of the fast food chain, has been an essential part of the company’s branding. The logo was black and white. The name of the restaurants, “Kentucky Fried Chicken”, was included in the emblem as it is.

In 1978 Colonel Sanders got a facelift. The work was done by the same agency, Lippincott & Margulies. Colonel’s smile became a bit different, and he got a neater hairstyle. Next to the face, there was a “Kentucky Fried Chicken” inscription, this time in a bit different type.
