What is Kleenex?
Kleenex is an American brand specializing in facial tissues. It was launched in 1924 and is owned by Kimberly-Clark. Its production facilities are located in 78 countries worldwide.
1924 – 1930
The original emblem has heavy lettering with wide letters and around “E.”
1930 – 1938
The word “Kleenex” has become hollow inside. Each mark is outlined with a thin black outline.
1938 – 1960
The designers changed the style of the lettering using elongated threadlike letters.
1960 – 1965
The navy blue has been replaced by turquoise, which significantly refreshes the look of the Kleenex logo. The base has become narrower, and with it, the letters have decreased. They are still vertically elongated but not as filiform as in the previous wordmark. The sans-serif font is roughly similar to Sign Stickers JNL Frontfill by Jeff Levine Fonts.
1960 – 1980
During this period, the legendary form of the word “Kleenex” was approved, as much as possible, resembling a handwritten text.
1980 – 2007
Management changed the writing style almost immediately, choosing bold letters and adding the phrase “Brand Tissue.”
In 1992, the brand name was placed in a blue oval.
2007 – 2020
The current logo is with handwritten text arranged in an arch.
2020 – today
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.

Font and Colors
First, the founding company chose a strict typeface for the logo – a classic one with angular signs. Then I switched to a freestyle cursive that mimics curved handwriting. The color scheme of the emblem is simple: it consists of white, blue, and black.
