1971–1979[]
This logo was first introduced to the Iranians when McDonald's opened its first Iranian branch in Tabriz around 1971.
In 1979, the branch was closed due to the Islamic Revolution; a lot of foreign companies, specifically American, were forced to leave.
McDonald's attempted to re-enter the Iranian market in 1994, but this failed due to a hostile anti-American fundamentalist attack on the building which was under construction where the planned franchise would be opened. McDonald's does not plan on opening any restaurants in Iran at this time.
