1936 – 1957
The logo, used by Dole in the 1930s—1950s featured a super simple composition with just the uppercase lettering on the badge. It was a narrowed sans-serif inscription with tall letters, featuring clean contours and neat lines. The characters were set in solid orange and outlined in black for better visibility on various backgrounds.
1957 – 1986
The Dole visual identity was always based on red bold lettering of the nameplate. The original version of 1957 was composed of a wordmark and a green crown above the letter “O”, resembling a pineapple. The logo stayed with the brand for almost thirty years.
1986 – Today
The logo we all know today was designed in 1986. The red lettering was modernized into a more smooth sans-serif typeface, where all the letters were placed close to each other, with no space left. The blue underline was thick and straight. The most significant detail of the Dole logo from 1986 is a yellow abstract image of the sun, which was placed in the letter “O” and spread on “D” and “L”.
The logo, created in 1986 by Landor Associates, was slightly modified in 2018. The green leaf-shape frame was added to the wordmark and a blue inscription of the tagline was placed under the emblem.
2018 – Today
“Powering You!” In a rounded sans-serif font balanced the blue underline of the wordmark and says a lot about the company’s profile and values.
