KFC
1991–1997
The 1991 logo was the first logo to have the company refer to itself as "KFC" rather than "Kentucky Fried Chicken". The reasoning behind this was that the word "fried" was often associated with very unhealthy foods. With this logo, the signature mansard roof on restaurants were updated from the brown shingles to the new red plastic strips.
1997–2006
This logo was designed by Landor Associates. Along with this logo, new and remodeled restaurants took away their 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 at some locations.
2005–present (primary), 2005-2014 (secondary)
In 2005, 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.
2014-present (secondary)
The company started using this throwback logo homaging the 1952 and 1977 logos on recent advertising starting in January 2014. This is used as an secondary logo for the company.
