stumpygremlin Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 They're getting rid of their 130 year-old script logo for the corporation and replacing it with a sans serif wordmark. The original script will still be used, for now, on consumer products that will be made by Kenvue, a new company spun off from J&J, who is focusing on pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Their reasoning included the fact that kids aren't learning cursive anymore in schools.

Cujo Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 The fact J&J had used the exact same logo since 1887 is mind blowing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of another logo that's older than J&J (maybe Coca-Cola, or Shell?) but the fact that this logo was used for that long shows the test of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about what apparently looks good on a smartphone app icon, despite the fact that plenty of those icons are full-on pictures that look just fine and that most people aren't clamoring for apps for the companies changing their logos anyway.

Diet Coke is allegedly a sugar free version of New Coke, which its never referred to as Diet CocaCola, because its not a Diet verson CocaCola. While Coke Zero was anointed CocaCola Zero (Sugar) because its in fact a sugar free version of CocaCola. CocaCola did not want to name anything diet, sugar free, zero "Coca Cola" until they got something that acuatually resembled CocaCola.
