1.1 OUR HISTORY 1930s It was in 1935 that John Tyson founded the company we know today by transporting that first load of Arkansas chickens to Chicago, where he sold them for a profit of $235. We did not have a brand identity in those days, but John Tyson had established the foundation for what would become the world’s largest protein business. 1940s In 1947, our company was incorporated as Tyson’s Feed & Hatchery. Instead of being just a buyer and seller of chickens, Tyson’s was involved in the growing process. These were the building blocks for what we now know as “total vertical integration in the poultry business.” 1950s Although Tyson’s Feed & Hatchery was not yet a publicly-held company, it was on the grow. In 1955, construction of the Randall Road Plant in Springdale, Arkansas, was completed. Tyson’s Feed & Hatchery was now totally integrated, controlling every step in the production process from farm to market. In 1959, our company adopted Tyson’s Pride as its brand name

T YSON IDENTIT Y GUIDELINES 04.

INTRODUCTION

1960s The first Tyson oval logo was designed by Buddy Wray, former Tyson Foods President and COO, to fit the Cornish hen packaging. In 1963, John Tyson, along with his son, Don, took the company public, issuing 100,000 shares of stock. Upon going public, the company name changed to Tyson’s Foods, Inc. 1970s The ‘70s was a decade of many tests for our company. Extreme downturns in the poultry market threatened to close the doors in 1974. Undaunted, a determined Don Tyson kept going. Logo colors were changed from red, white, and blue to red, white, and orange, as the red, white, and blue did not show up as well in the display case. The name was changed to the current Tyson Foods, Inc., in 1972. 1980s It was in the ‘80s that growth exploded. Further processed products were becoming a hit with consumers. The construction of the Chick ’N Quick plant in Rogers, Arkansas, gave Tyson a distinct advantage in this growing market. In 1989, Tyson acquired Holly Farms. The acquisition doubled the company’s size. We marketed the Retail Fresh brand with the Tyson Holly Farms logo.

1.3 REDESIGN Logo design is all around us. To the general public, logos serve as an instant reminder of a company or a product; to the client theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the point of recognition on which their branding hangs; and to us designers they represent the challenge of incorporating our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideologies into one single graphic. No wonder, then, that logo design features so prominently in our lives. In an age where everyone must have a website to support their product, service or the company behind it, the demand for a top-class logo has never been higher. More examples of logo design are out there than ever before, and with that comes the challenge of being different. How do you create something original that stands out in a sea of identities? And how do we create something quickly while retaining quality?

T YSON IDENTIT Y GUIDELINES 08.

INTRODUCTION

For the redesign of the Tyson logo, we wanted to modernize the look and feel to meet current design trends. we wanted to create somthing that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel contraned and wanted something that felt open, free, and alive. By making the logo in a more organic shape it represents a more natural connection. by spliting it into three parts, each section represents a new aspect of the Tyson family. The arragement of these shapes also help create the abstract T in the middle; calling back to the company.
