FedEx – Name and Logo Rebranding
FedEx is a great example of rebranding the right way. With a shortened name and a new logo, the iconic brand known for speedy delivery of packages became stronger than ever.
In 1994, Federal Express hired Landor Associates to redesign its logo with a fundamental requirement mandated by Federal Express CEO Fred Smith to make sure that the Federal Express truck five blocks away was visible and recognizable when he stood on a street corner. The rebranding result included a new logo and a shortened brand name — FedEx. Check out the before and after in the image below.
