Movement and expression are seen in the Rexona logo. The tool hits the target exactly, destroying the unpleasant odor. The emblem gives off a feeling of freshness, and the more active the user’s day, the more intense the antiperspirant works.

Meaning and History
For more than a century of history of the trademark, it has had many emblems. They all share the same spelling style for the word “Rexona.” In total, the brand has about eleven logos.
1969 – 1980
By that time, a version with a classic inscription resembling the Times New Roman font belongs. The emphasis is on the first letter, so “R” is highlighted in size and color: it is larger than the rest of the characters and is colored bright red.
1980 – 1988
In this version, the designers lengthened the right leg of the capital “R” but kept it on the lower border of the name. In addition, they removed the serifs and made the letters bold.
1984 – 1990
During this period, a variant with an elongated right leg “R” appeared. It goes beyond the lower word limit.
1990 – 2000
A fundamentally new emblem with neat elongated signs has been approved. The letters are closely spaced, and the middle “R” stroke is not connected closely to the left sidewall.
2000 – 2004
The designers played with the transition from “e” to “x” in an interesting way: they lengthened the leg “e,” making it part of the “x.”
2004 – 2007
After redesigning the Rexona logo, the serifs on the tops of the letters are turned in the opposite direction – to the right. The sharpening on the transition line between the “e” and “x” disappeared, and instead, a smooth stroke appeared, the thickness of which became the same along the entire length.
2007 – 2010
The designers shortened the “R” leg, made the letters contour, and reduced the distance between them. Also, a checkmark appeared on the emblem for the first time. It is wide, blue, with a dark blue edging.
2004 – 2015
The connection line between “e” and “x” is much wider. The serifs have disappeared from the letters, which makes the characters look thinner and more accurate.
2010 – 2015
The transition between “e” and “x” has become continuous. In addition, the developers returned the signature checkmark to the logo and played with it in an original way by placing it above the name. They painted it silver with a gradient and added a raised hem.
2015 – today
The current emblem consists of graphic and text parts – the trademark’s name and a large checkmark next to the word “Rexona.”
2018 – today
The modern Rexona logo is a toned-down version of the previous one. Firstly, all corners are rounded in it, and secondly, the height of the letters is reduced. The designers also changed the color of the inscription, painting it in dark purple.
Font and Colors
Regardless of the year of appearance, the brand symbol has one common element – the word “Rexona.” In 2015, a checkmark was added to it – as a sign of confirmation of the slogan “It won’t let you down.”
The logo uses a custom typeface with a capital “R” and a unique transition from “e” to “x,” which has now been removed. The color scheme is monochrome and consists of white (background) and black (text). The opening inscription also featured red.
