  • Meaning and history Before 1997, Waitrose did not have a marketing department of its own.
  • When the marketing department was created in 1997, it meant not only the start of a large-scale advertising campaign, but also new graphic design across all product packaging.
  • 1904 The original name of the brand was Waite, Rose & Taylor, which was reflected by the earliest Waitrose logo.
  • The letters had classic proportions and didn’t bear serifs.
  • Due to this, the logo would have looked modern even now, if not for the old-style long name of the company.
  • However, it was probably not because the designers had a futuristic vision but due to the materials (the letters on the sign were made of metal).
  • The proportions were modified (the glyphs became more elongated).
  • In line with modern design trends, the new wordmark didn’t have serifs.
  • The glyphs were clear and had classic proportions.
  • Another way to make the design recognizable was the choice of the color – a warmed (yellowish) shade of green.
  • 2019 The Waitrose logo preserved its green color but made it slightly darker.
  • The lettering “& Partners” was added below.
  • Here, the writing is placed inside a green rectangle, and there are three stripes in various shapes of green.
  • The sans serif font was created by Paul Renner and published by the Berthold type foundry.
