Macys logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Roland Hussey Macy got lost in the sea but the star guided him home and since then he was wearing a star tattoo, believing that it was his luck.
- So the bold red star appeared on the Macy’s banners in the very beginning, in the 1950s, and for the first few years, it was used along with another graphical emblem, a red cock, which later was completely forgotten.
- 1920 — 1932 The Macy’s logo, used by the brand in the 1920s, was composed of a cursive black logotype, with the “R.
- 1932 — 1938 The redesign of 1932 brought a shortened and a more modern version of the visual identity, where the “Macy’s” lettering in the title-case of a stylish serif typeface was colored white and featured a black outline with a delicate black shadow.
- 1938 — 1948 In 1938 the brand goes more minimalist, Shang in its logotype’s typeface to a flat black inscription in a medium-weight serif font, and placing the company’s address in the same style under it.
- As for the general style, the inscription was written in a title-case of a confident and solid serif font.
- Along with the monochrome version the company started drawing its logo in red on white or using a reverse monochrome palette, where white lettering was placed on a black background.
- The first one featured an extra-bold serif inscription with all letters capitalized and a star.
- The second option boasted a very simple and friendly wordmark in the lowercase, written in a sans-serif font with rounded shapes and a comma instead of the star.
- 1970 — 1977 The redesign of 1970 made the lowercase sans-serif inscription bolder and colored in dark red.
- 1978 — 1982 The bold and elegant typeface was changed to a more minimalist and neat one in 1978z it was written in black again and still had no comma or star, being, probably, the most modest of all versions created for the brand during its history.
- Later in the same year, a more classy and traditional inscription was introduced: executed in a title-case, the serif lettering had a sleek delicate comma in it.
- A lightweight sans-serif inscription in monochrome could have either a bold star or a comma between its “Y” and “S”.
- 2004 — 2019 The red star first appears on the official Macy’s logo in 2004.
