1994
This year, the logo is the name of the company. Now Fed is written in light purple color and Ex is written in light orange color. Maybe this is the idea of logo minimalization by FedEx. In this logo, FedEx is joined and there is no space between the two words. The initials of Fed and Ex are capitalized and the rest of the letters are in a small case.

Conclusion
We think that all three logos of FedEx are nice in fact, they are very much competitive. We presume that in the first logo the diagonal position of the logo symbolizes speed and since the company soon became a multinational brand, they just shortened their name and the logo. Though on Wikipedia, the logo says FedEx and below it, Corporation is written which starts from E of Ex.
