Kodak Logo - Design and History

Established by businessman Henry Strong and inventor George Eastman, Eastman Kodak in an American multinational public company known for producing and supplying a wide array of photographic equipment and materials. Eastman preferred the letter K for it seemed an incisive, strong sort of letter. In 1960, the company introduced the corner curl. The graphic “K” element was not introduced until the 1970′s along with the box. The year 1987 saw a further update of the logo as a more contemporary type font replaced the old one. Eastman Kodak Co. has recently introduced a new corporate symbol created to help the company contrive a new image as an up-to-date, 21st century groundbreaker. Kodak was forced to reinvent itself and that led to an enhancement of the corporate image. So we can see how Kodak breaks out of the box busting out a new corporate identity to replace their 50-year old current one. The new logo features a distinctive “a” and a rounded type font. Today’s new, symplified Kodak logo keeps the company’s distinctive yellow and red colours but dispenses with the box that has comprised the word “Kodak” for the past 70 years.
