This logo can still be seen at many older Kmart stores.

Today's Kmart
A variant of this logo was used in the mid 90's that has the word "Today's" in the upper part briefly before the "Big" and "Super" logos. This logo still appears today on the price tags of some movies and games.

Big Kmart
Starting in 1997, some Kmart stores were remodeled and rebranded as Big Kmart. This name was dropped with the introduction of the 2004 logo, though as with the standard Kmart logo it can often be found on older stores.

Super Kmart
Logo for Super Kmart for hypermarkets which also featured groceries. This concept was later rebranded as "Kmart Supercenter" with the logo change.

2002-2004
This was only used for the 5 prototype Kmart stores: 4 in the Peoria, IL metro area (Peoria, Pekin, Morton, and the now closed Washington), and one in White Lake, MI. The name of the city of the store's location would be displayed under the logo.

2004-Present


In 2004, Kmart merged with sears with a new logo, and all the Big Kmart stores were rebranded as 'Kmart'
