In 1966, it was launched in the UK as Barclaycard, 1967 in France as Carte Bleue, and in 1968 in Canada as Chargex.

2005–2014

In 2005, Visa changed its logo, removing the horizontal stripes in favor of the name Visa in blue with an orange flick on the 'V'. The text itself was also modified being a little less italicized and the top left corner of the 'A' was rounded.

2014–present

In 2014, Visa debuted an updated version of logo removing the orange wedge leaving the logotype in gradient blue. The gold and blue stripes were restored as branding on the acceptance marks for Visa cards and advertising, but not as the corporate logotype.
