“Ask what you need, we sure have it!” the Rewe logo promises. The emblem symbolizes communication between sellers and customers. It is enough to place an order to deliver the desired goods to the buyer.

Rewe: Brand overview
Rewe is a German supermarket chain owned by the Rewe Group, founded in 1927. The company headquarters is located in Cologne, Germany. As of 2022, the brand has 3,300 stores across Germany. If we talk exclusively about the food retailers in this country, then Rewe ranks second after Edeka. Since 2011, Rewe has been delivering goods across the country through its network of supermarkets. Thus, the network was among the first to actively integrate its operations into the Internet. Some products in Rewe supermarkets are sold under their brand. Also, the company is actively engaged in sports investments. For example, in the 2020/21 season, the title sponsor of FC Köln, representing the German Bundesliga, was the Rewe brand.

Meaning and History

Rewe Logo History

For almost 100 years, the grocery store chain’s logo has changed only a few times. Moreover, the fact that the company was founded in Germany will be clear to a potential Rewe client almost immediately. This is due to a simple yet bright range of colors and brutal, solid forms. Thus, supermarkets operating under the Rewe brand embody discipline and strength.

What is Rewe?

This is a century of development and improvement. Along with the new stage, the previous logo was replaced with one that reflected the period’s trends, the tasks, and the organization’s goals.

1977 – 2006

Rewe Logo 1977

The original Rewe logo was introduced in 1977. For the brand name, a bold sans-serif font was used. Red was used as the palette. The wordmark is in capital letters. In addition to the inscription, the creators added two lines. One red one looked like wings. Below it was the second, yellow, visually designed to look like a straight line. As a result, the red and yellow colors on a white background helped potential buyers feel the company’s strength and reliability, as well as the quality it is working toward.

2006 – 2015

Almost 30 years later, Rewe Group decided to change the supermarket chain’s logo. As a result, it has not only been visually redrawn but also greatly simplified. The brand name itself is made using bold white capital letters. The background was red, which was the main color of the original logo. Each letter in the title had barely perceptible rounded corners. Thus, the authors tried to make the main inscription more friendly to the target audience.

2015 – 2020

The previous option did not last even ten years. The company decided to radically change the logo’s visual appearance. For the first time in the brand’s history, the slogan “Dein Markt” (“Your market”) was added, positioned below the main inscription. She, in turn, has not changed visually from the 2006 logo to the 2015 logo. However, not a standard background was used; instead, a red dialog symbol was used. Thus, Rewe Group sought to demonstrate that its hypermarket chain is open to dialogue with its target audience.

As in the previous version, the name “Rewe” was set in bold capital letters, with minimal rounding. The slogan, in turn, also consisted of capital letters but without bold type. In addition, the distance between characters in it is much less than that of the brand name.

2020 – today

The concept has remained identical to the 2015-2020 variant. The author made changes exclusively to the slogan. Capital now was only the letter “D” in the word “Dein.” The slogan is also in bold type. Otherwise, this logo variation was a complete duplicate of the previous one.

Font and Colors

Rewe Emblem

The font of the Rewe supermarket chain logo is as close as possible to Segaon Soft Black. Its characteristic features are solid sans-serif letters.
The authors used red and white as the color scheme, except for the first version of the logo, which included a yellow line. The most minimalist Rewe logo was used from 2006 to 2015, with no additional elements.
