1990–1993


Time Warner was created in 1990 through the merger of Time Inc. and Warner Communications. The original identity was created by Chermayeff & Geismar and included an eye-ear logo designed by Steff Geissbuhler.

The eye-ear logo is still used by Time Warner Cable.

1993–2001


The eye-ear logo was shortlived as a corporate symbol. In 1993, it was replaced by a more reserved and traditional look. It was created by Anspach Grossman Portugal, although the Time Warner Cable logos retain the eye-ear logo.

In early 2000, Time Warner and America Online announced that they would merge. The deal was finalized in January 2001. The new company became known as AOL Time Warner. Landor Associates were responsible for designing the logo.

2003–Present


The company dropped AOL from its name in November 2002 and reverted back to Time Warner, alternating with the AOL Time Warner name until 2003. They did however not revert to the old Time Warner logo, opting for a new design.
