Shape of Taco Bell Logo
The Taco Bell logo is among the world’s most popular and instantly recognizable restaurant logos. It has undergone several modifications throughout the years.
The “classic” Taco Bell logo was introduced in 1985 after the company experimented with two typographic logos in the beginning. This version remained in service for almost a decade and some locations still use it to this day.
The current version of the Taco Bell logo was introduced in 1994 and consisted of a modernized, slanted and more playful version of the chain’s classic logo. Taco Bell’s current catchphrase is “Live Más” which means “live more”. It was adapted in February 2012 to replace the old “Think Outside the Bun” slogan.
