Unilever 2004

In May 2004, Unilever revealed a new logo that replaced the dated-looking 1967 logo. Unilever had decided to promote their corporate image more prominently on their products and felt that the old logo was too corporate and not friendly enough.

The new logo contains a big letter U which is made up of 25 icons that represent various aspects of the company's activities, with Unilever written in a script font underneath. The new identity was developed by Wolff Olins.

The logo has appeared at the end of the television commercials in the form of a white ribbon tag on the top corner throughout the 2010s and the 3D white box since 2020.
