Evolution of Welch’s Logo

Welch’s was the biggest sponsor of ABC primetime show ‘The Flintstones’ in 1960s. The cartoons had bottles of Welch’s juice bottles and the characters can be seen on juice bottles. Later, the company also sponsored ‘The Archies’ cartoons. Welch’s oldest building called the Welch Factory Building No. 1 is listed among the historic places since 1983. Welch’s changed its logo in the following ways.

1910

            In this year, the logo is a square with curved edges and has a green border with white filling. In the square, Welch’s is written in blackish blue color and below it, there is a green strip slight diagonal and on it, Grape Juice is written in purplish blue color. There is a design of grapes and leaves on the back side of the strip. On the bottom right side of the grapes design, Serve is written on top of Cold.

Below the strip, CONTENTS is written on top of ’16 OZ.NET’. Then below it, ‘From Choicest’ is written on top of ‘Concord Grapes’. Below it, ‘Pure & Unfermented’ is written on top of ‘No 140 Guaranteed under Food and Drugs Act by’ and below it, ‘The WELCH GRAPE JUICE CO.’ is written and then below it, ‘WESTFIELD. N.Y., U.S.A.’ is written. All of the text is written in purplish-black color.

Building of Welch’s Logo

The idea came to Welch when he opposed the making of wine from grapes and recommended using juices instead. He even said that wine should be replaced with grape juice in the holy communion services in the church. He moved to Vineland, New Jersey to start his very own alcohol-free society. Welch’s logo is based on the following two things.

Font

            In the first year, the words ‘Welch’s’, ‘Grape Juice’, ‘CONTENTS’, ’16 OZ. NET’, ‘From Choicest’, ‘Concord Grapes’, ‘Pure & Unfermented’, ‘WELCH GRAPE JUICES CO’ and ‘WESTFIELD NY USA’ were written in customized Times New Roman font. The words ‘NO 140 Guaranteed under Food and Drug Act by’ and ‘Serve Cold’ are written in customized Calibri Body font.

            In the second year, bold Calibri Body font was used. In the third and fourth years, bold Times New Roman font was used. And in the last two years, Welch’s was written in Gelica and TT Norms font.

Color

            In the first year, green, white, purplish blue, and blackish blue colors were used. In the second year, light purple and white colors were used. Then in the third year, only black color was used. In the fourth year, brown, purple, white, yellow, green, and red colors were used. And in the fifth year, dark purple and white colors were used. In the last year, blue and white colors were used in logo.

We think that the first logo was basically a sticker and that is why it had so many things on it. On a personal scale, we liked the logo of 1996 which has a fruit basket and it has fresh and bright colors.
