Kodak Image Evolution

Early 1900s
Kodak is the first company to integrate its name and look into a symbol.

1930s
Focus moved to the Kodak name and the red and yellow trade dress color.

1960s
The corner curl was introduced.

1970s
The mark retained the red and yellow colors and the Kodak name, but a box and graphic K element were added.

The type-only successor to the brands 1971 vintage yellow-and-red K/arrow symbol is intended to offer a more international and universal impact, and to distance the company from its film and processing past.

Quoted from Michael Evamys Logo.

Kodak was born in April 1880, when George Eastman leased the third floor of a building on State Street in Rochester. He began to manufacture dry plates for sale, and one of his first purchases was a second-hand engine priced at $125.

    I really needed only a one horse-power. This was a two horse-power, but I thought perhaps business would grow up to it. It was worth a chance, so I took it.
    GEORGE EASTMAN

15 years ago Kodaks market value was $31 billion (via Reuters).

The word Kodak was first registered as a trademark in 1888.

    I devised the name myself. The letter K had been a favorite with me it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter. It became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with K. The word Kodak is the result.
