2007 – Today (United States)
The Excedrin visual identity was redesigned in 2007 and gained a stylish and modern look. The brand’s wordmark is placed on a white background with a bright green underline, curving on its right.
The slightly italicized capital lettering of the wordmark is executed in a sharp geometric sans-serif typeface, where the ends of the letter-lines are a little extended and the angles are pointed.
The first “E” of the nameplate is enlarged, which creates a powerful and progressive feeling, making the logo look stronger and more confident.
The intense green of the lettering is a symbol of nature and its energy, as well and harmony and stability. For the brand, it means it’s the ability to help people with their health conditions.
Placed on a package, the Excedrin logo featured a bright bottom part, which is colored depending on the type of medicine. The brand also features a memorable and creative tagline “The pain stops. You don’t”, which is written in small green letters above the wordmark.
Font and Color
The uppercase lettering from the primary Excedrin logo is set in a sharp and elegant italicized typeface with flared ends of the bars. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, Charpentier Sans Pro 66 Demi Italique, or Zapf Humanist 601 Std Ultra Italic.
As for the color palette of the Excedrin visual identity, it is based on a deep shade of green, which looks serious and reliable, evoking a sense of trust and confidence in the medication, offered under this brand name.
