  • Meaning and history Known as The King of Beers, Budweiser has a remarkable and instantly recognizable logo, which has gone through many redesigns during the history of the brand.
  • The first three versions of the famous beer’s logo were very ornate, basing on the seals and coat of arms, with a lot of additional lettering.
  • 1876 – 1910 The very first Budweiser logo was composed of a rectangular badge with cursive lettering, where the “Budweiser Lager Beer” was placed on the top line and featured the largest size.
  • 1910 – 1945 In 1910 the color palette was changed to red, blue and white, where the bold cursive lettering on a white background was placed inside a scarlet red rectangle with the coat of arms and ribbons in its upper part.
  • The Anheuser-Busch seal in thin white lines was placed above the wordmark, while the “King of Beers” tagline in all capitals was under the main inscription.
  • The wordmark was still in white but enlarged in comparison to the previous version, and the Anheuser-Busch symbol was now executed in red and placed on a white part of the logo.
  • 1961 – 1963 The version of 1961 featured a red bow tie with the white wordmark, placed on a white background with five thin egg-like contours in blue and gold.
  • The husking letters are written in a bold serif typeface and feature three different colors: red, purple and green.
  • 1968 – 1987 The bow-tie was brought back in 1968 and stayed for another twenty years.
  • It was a neat and minimalist logo, with a simple white wordmark on a red background.
  • 1987 – 1994 In 1987 the bow-tie was refined, gaining a black thin shadow.
  • As for the inscription, it also has a thin black shadow now, and the serif letters are italicized, reflecting progress and elegance.
  • No shadows, no outline, just a red bow-time, and white wordmark.
  • 1996 – 1999 A completely new emblem was designed in 1996 but stayed with the company for only three years.
  • It was a red rectangle with a black outline.
  • It was a short experiment, and in 1999 the company comes back to an iconic bow-tie.
  • They are all composed of a red bow-tie with a white cursive inscription and a gold crown above it.
  • In the first version, the outline was red, which was changed to white in 2011.
  • 2016 – Today The current Budweiser logo is a simplified version of the previous one.
  • The flat two-color design has no additional details, only the red background, and the white lettering.
