Verizon is next to have a logo change
Old logo on top, new logo on bottom
The old logo was in need of some refreshing since it had been developed in 2000 when the merger of GTE and Bell Atlantic created Verizon. This past June, Verizon purchased AOL, paying $4.4 billion for the internet content provider. It seems that Verizon brass felt that with the purchase of AOL, it was time to give the company a new image. The new logo was not supposed to be rolled out until tomorrow, but was leaked out by Verizon insiders. What do you think of the Verizon logo's new look? You can let us know by dropping your comments in the box below.
Big Red, as Verizon is affectionately called, is the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. Speaking of the Big Red nickname, for old time's sake, check out the 2011 commercial for Verizon embedded below. Done in the style of ads run by Wrigley for Big Red gum, the spot was a clever satire of Verizon's nickname. With a lot of the red disappearing on the new-look Verizon logo, will the Big Red nickname go away as well?
