Meaning and History
This logo has two dates of origin: the first is associated with its opening, the second – with its official registration. The difference between them is over 30 years. The final visual identification appeared even later – in 1971 when the color scheme was approved. The trademark mascot (rabbit) has been in use since 1973.
What is Duracell?
Duracell is a manufacturer of alkaline, lithium, and nickel-metal hydride batteries and rechargeable batteries in various sizes. The company was founded in the United States in 1924 and was acquired by the conglomerate Procter & Gamble in 1996. In 2014, it was acquired by the American multinational holding company Berkshire Hathaway. Among Duracell’s innovative products are Power Pix rechargeable batteries for high-power devices and CopperTop (Plus) batteries designed for digital devices.

Font and Colors
The name of the trademark comes from the phrase “durable cell” (“strong cell,” “reliable cell”). A brand symbolism is a name that, depending on the year, is made in different fonts.
Since the emblem’s emphasis is on the text, its evolution is a change in the inscription style. As a result, the first variants of the logo are dominated by the Futura typeface. In contrast, the latter is dominated by the Delta Bold with a characteristic curved “R.” These fonts have in common that they are grotesque and free from serifs. The color palette is monochrome and consists of the classic combination of black (letters) and white (background).
The absence of sharp corners symbolizes batteries’ safety, while black, white, and copper colors convey their strength, reliability, and superiority.
