The famous Coca-Cola script was created by Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. He suggested the name thinking that the two Cs would look well together. He penned the now famous logo and trademark "Coca-Cola" in his unique script that Coca-Cola is still recognised for today.

              The Logo Through the Ages


1887-1890s – Inserting the ‘Trademark’
Two little words were added to the first C that read 'Trademark Registered'
1969 – That famous white wave
Here the iconic white wave was added.
1890-1891 – Extra swirls
For only one year, the logo changed a lot.
It gained some extra swirls. The logo returned to its previous font after a year.
2003 – Keeping it real
With the introduction of the ‘Coca‑Cola... Real’ campaign, a streak of yellow was added to the white wave along with some bubbles.
1941-1960s – Tail tweaked
In this design, the words in the tail of the first C were removed.
2007 – A classic design
A simpler design than the previous.
1958-1960s – A fishy shape
This period saw the introduction of the Arciform or ‘fishtail’ logo. It was a different shape surrounding the script.
2011 – 125 years of happiness
With 125th anniversary of Coca‑Cola came a new logo of bubbles bursting from thee famous contour bottle.
 It is very different from previous logos.
