KFC

''This article is about the worldwide fast food chicken restaurant chain. For other uses, see KFC (disambiguation).''

1977–October 1991
The logo was updated for the first time, and adopted a new design including the mansard roof plus the cubic tower on the center front of their restaurants.

Late 1991–April 1997


The 1991 logo was the first logo to refer to itself as 'KFC' rather than 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'. The reasoning behind this was that the word 'fried' was often associated with unhealthy foods. With this logo, the signature mansard roof was updated from the old brown shingles to the new red plastic strips.

May 1997–April 2006


This logo was designed by Landor Associates. Along with this logo, new and remodeled restaurants did away with the mansard roof from the two previous logos, and now have a flat roof and awnings directly above the windows and entrances. The signature tower was made thicker and edgier with a flatter pyramid, and new restaurants placed the tower on one of the corners of the front end rather than in the middle, though remodeled restaurants usually kept the tower in the middle where they were when they were first built. This logo is still used on some locations.

May 2006–present


In 2006, the Colonel Sanders symbol was given a facelift, replacing his suit with an apron. The logo now has thick, bold lines on it which help it stand out more. New and remodeled restaurants with this logo were updated once again, only with awnings flatter than from the previous logo and only above the windows where the tower stands, and have hanging black platforms with the words "WELCOME" and "DRIVE THRU" above the front doors and pick-up window respectively.
