Acme's Logo
Posted: 28 Mar 2011 21:13
I'm a big fan of the AcmeStyle blog and there is a good amount of information on Acme's logo over the years on that website but I still have a couple of questions.
1. Why did Acme switch to the fish eye logo in the first place? ( The cursive logo looks pretty sharp to me but I also love the fish eye logo.)
2. I know they then went to the red oval (which is my personal favorite) but for a short time was this their logo?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmW7YqkORUU Its an add from 1982 apparently and it almost looks like it was a transitional logo of some-kind
3. Third and final question is why did Acme abandon the oval and go to the block lettering? Its easily their worst logo out of the 4 and is so bland. This logo has seem to have stuck for way too long. I think if Acme was serious about getting competitive again they should change their logo back to one of the other 3 or something that is at least an improvement and show people that they are changing.
