KFC LOGO

KFC launches new logo:

Kentucky Fried Chicken has unveiled a global redesign of its iconic brand logo, in which founder Col. Sanders replaces his white suit with a red apron. "This change gives us a chance not only to make sure we stay relevant but also communicates to customers the realness of Colonel Sanders and the fact that he was a chef," says Gregg Dedrick, President of KFC's US division. "Eventually this will make its way to every restaurant. Any new stores we build or any remodels that we make from here on out will include the new Colonel."

The change of logo is the fourth time the company has refreshed its brand in its 50 year history, and the first since 1997. All new store designs will include new graphics with the Kentucky Fried Chicken name, signs that read "Finger Lickin' Good" and "11 Secret Herbs and Spices".

The new logo will be part of a fresh store design implemented in new openings in the US and international stores, which will include warmer interior colours, open shop-style glass windows and a free digital jukebox.

Interesting Information on the Background of Dominos Pizza:

               It all started in the year 1960, when two brothers named Tom and James Monaghan bought a small pizzeria in Michigan by the name of Dominick’s Pizza. They bought it for $500 and gave a down payment of $75. After 8 months, James quit and traded his shares with his brother for a second hand Volkswagen car. This led Tom to revitalize the image of the eating joint and name it Dominos Pizza.In the year 1983, Dominos Pizza opened its first international franchise at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

               Despite international recognition, Dominos Pizza primarily remained as a traditional fast food joint. It had a very simple menu and only sold one type of pizza crust that was named the ‘regular pizza’. The pizza dough was shaped by tossing it in air and pulling it into shape. Only two sizes of the pizza dough existed before they added medium and extra large owing to growing competition. There was absolutely no concept of side dish and side others and the only beverage that was available with it was Coca Cola Classic.This traditional outlook of Dominos was changed in 1989, when the Deep Pan Pizza was introduced. The company was being forced to change according to the market demand. This in fact consolidated the financial base of the brand and also ensured further growth of Dominos Pizza as a brand. The move to change the menu and add items that was preferred by general public made it popular among many and that year, Dominos Pizza opened its 5000th store.

               In 1992, they introduced their first non-pizza item on the menu, which was breadsticks. Dominos was also the first brand to sell chicken wings as a side dish in the year 1994. It was around this time that Dominos also opened its franchise in Egypt, Africa. The Dominos Pizza website was launched in the year 1996 and the company reached total global sales of $3billion.These include belt driven pizza oven, corrugated cardboard delivery boxes to retain heat while delivering and also the ‘Heat Wave’, which is a portable electric bag that keeps the pizza hot while being delivered. In the year 1997, the company developed their new logo and the image was brightened up. The same year, the brand opened seven outlets in one day, on five different continents. The most hectic pizza delivery day of the year in 2004 was recorded on the Super Bowl Sunday when over a million pizzas were sold, which increased their normal Sunday trading volume by a staggering 42%. Today, the company continues to grow exponentially and has over 8000 outlets worldwide.
