During this time, two "S.S. KRESGE CO." logos were used.

This is the final S.S. Kresge logo; although the company opened the first Kmart store in 1962, their company name remained the same. Up until 1977, it was used in tandem with the Kmart logo used at the time. In 1977, S.S. Kresge announced that the company would rename itself as Kmart Corporation.
