Verizon Communications Inc. is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate and a corporate component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company is based at 1095 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, but is incorporated in Delaware. In 1984, the United States Department of Justice mandated AT&T Corporation to break up the Bell System into seven companies, each a Regional Bell Operating Company, commonly referred to as “Baby Bells”. Bell Atlantic, one of the Baby Bells, came into existence the same year, consisting of the separate operating companies New Jersey Bell, Bell of Pennsylvania, Diamond State Telephone, and C&P Telephone, with a trading area from New Jersey to Virginia. As part of a rebranding of the Baby Bells in the mid-1990s, all of Bell Atlantic’s operating companies assumed the holding company’s name.

History of the Verizon Logo

The Verizon logo showed up in 2000 when the organization got its present name. The past forms were extraordinary and included the old name of the organization. The most punctual logotype mirrored the organization’s first name, Bell Atlantic Corporation, and was embraced around when the organization was made (1984). The logo comprises two sections: an adapted portrayal of a chime inside a circle shape and a wordmark close to it. The content would have looked pretty plain notwithstanding the one-of-a-kind letter “A,” which contained a bizarre component taking after a sea wave. Like this, the creator of the image presented the “Atlantic” subject to the logo. The symbol could be given in dark or blue against the white foundation.

The subsequent rendition put considerably more accentuation on the marine subject. Albeit the adapted wave vanished from the wordmark, a more conspicuous one showed up beneath it. Likewise, the “Atlantic” thought was complemented by the selection of shadings: dull blue and water, with white letters and lines, inferring the ocean foam. Rather than the striking sans-serif text style of the main logo, a basic serif one was utilized. The actual logotype obtained a square shape.

2000 — 2015

In 2000, Bell Atlantic gained the phone organization GTE and changed its name to Verizon Communications. With the new name, the requirement for a new logo got self-evident. The San Francisco-based plan organization Landor Associates built up a wordmark comprising the organization’s name finished off with a larger than usual red checkmark with inclination. The stressed lowercased textual style highlighted a zooming “z” with inclination. The checkmark and the letter “z” were red, while the wide range of various letters was dark. The foundation was white.

Likewise, other shading mixes with two of these tones could be utilized (high contrast, red and white). The logo was criticized by numerous creators and surprisingly named among the most noticeably terrible logotypes at any point made.

2015 — Today

In the Verizon logo’s current variant, the checkmark has decreased in size, while the inclination vanished. The first logo update in quite a while was made by the planning firm Pentagram. It was, in reality, to a greater degree a revive than a new logo. Michael Bierut, Pentagram’s delegate, referenced that the logotype was not intended to be sharp or ostentatious. Their point was to set up the brand’s character without making a visual commotion.

One of the positive highlights of the new Verizon logo is that it very well may be effectively zoomed and replicated. In general, it looks cleaner, neater than the past one. Notwithstanding, it has likewise been criticized a ton for its effortlessness.

Textual style

While the past and the current text styles may look fairly comparative, they are two free sorts. The old logo highlighted an altered Helvetica Black sort, while the name of the new typeface is Neue Haas Grotesk. It looks near Helvetica. Christian Schwartz made the Neue Haas Grotesk typeface from the New York and London-based sort foundry Commercial Type. Schwartz is an accomplice in the organization and heads its New York office. He is the creator of many typefaces utilized by organizations everywhere in the world. Christian Schwartz likewise distributed typefaces with such notable autonomous foundries as Font Bureau and House Industries.

Shading

Since 2000, the Verizon logo has highlighted the blend of the dark wordmark with red accents. In the current form, the red is decreased to a solitary checkmark, while the past logo utilized the shading all the more liberally. In the two cases, the foundation has been white. Preceding this, the range incorporated the blue and watercolors, fitting the organization’s old name (Bell Atlantic) and the marine seal consummately.
