Meaning and history

Xerox Logo history

Xerox as a separate brand appeared on the international market only in 1960, but its history dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when the Haloid company was established. So the visual identity history of the today-famous brand would not be complete without the first Haloid and Haloid Xerox era, which boasts five different emblem designs.

1906 — 1938

The initial logo for Haloid featured a monochrome composition where the horizontally stretched oval with a wordmark was placed over a classy torch. The lettering was executed in all capitals of a custom handwritten typeface with small sharp serifs on the thick lines.

1938 — 1948

The redesign of 1938 brought a new composition to the Haloid visual identity, placing and tied above the wordmark and putting it on a black background of a rectangular badge in a wide rounded frame. The white additional lettering was written around the perimeter of the badge.

The main wordmark was now written in all-caps of a straight and clean sans-serif typeface, with black bodies and distinct white outlines of its contours.

1948 — 1949

The shape of the badge remained untouched even after the company renames to Haloid Xerox. The bold white lettering was placed over a yellow “X” on a black background, looking serious and bright. No additional elements or framing was needed for the badge to be powerful and eye-catching.

1949 — 1957

1957 — 1960

In 1957 the color palette of the logo was switched to burgundy and white, and the “Xerox” wordmark over the bold “X” was replaced by a delicate and professional “Haloid Xerox” inscription on two levels with its white capital letters executed in a bold and strict sans-serif typeface. The white lettering on the frame, composed of two parts “Products for Xerography” and “Products for Photography” were written in all caps of a light-weight sans-serif font.

1960 — 1968
