Kleenex Logo

The 2020 redesign hasn’t gone unnoticed, even though the wording of “Kleenex” hasn’t changed at all. Designers worked with color, using deep azure instead of dark blue. They also removed the registered trademark sign and the phrase “BRAND TISSUE” located on the right in two lines. The brand name is written in one unbroken line. It looks like it’s a long, twisted ribbon because all the “l” and “e” form loops.
