Wal-Mart Logo Timeline
In our 46-year history, we have freshened up the Wal-Mart logo on a number of occasions. Take a look at the evolution below.  | 1962 - 1964Sam Walton names his new stores WALMART. The Walmart name was presented in just about any font/style available to the printer. |  | 1964 - 1981Also known as the "Frontier Font Logo," this was the first official and consistently used logo. |  | 1968-1981The Discount City mark was used in print advertising, on the uniforms/smocks, in-store signing, and other things.
