It is the largest managed care organization in the US.

1991 – 1998

From the very start, the company had a very symbolic logo. It had the name printed using a unique font with interesting details and interconnected characters. The latter surely symbolized that people are no longer alone with their health issues. A large initial with a striped texture was placed at the top. It had a silhouette of a person with raised hands. It reflected a feeling of joy and control.

1998 – 1999

The logo was completely redone a few years later. The designers took the human silhouette as a basis and now had three individuals standing right next to each other. In front, it showcased a rising sun, which created positive and happy associations. Meanwhile, the three characters were meant to represent a family that Kaiser Permanente serves. Similar symbols are now widely used in the healthcare sphere. The name was printed underneath in a similar manner as in the earlier version.

1999 – Today

A few modifications followed soon after. First of all, the company decided to introduce a marine green to replace the classic black. In addition. They slightly simplified the font, giving it a more traditional appearance. This logo looks fresh and attractive.

Font and Color

Originally, the logo was black, which was not only something ordinary and classic but also reflected the fact that people could now take some control of their health and general well-being. The blue color, which is featured in the latest logo, is the organization’s attempt to associate itself with values such as trust, security, responsibility, honesty, and loyalty. All these are very valuable in the healthcare and insurance spheres.

Until 1999, the company used the same sans-serif and very unique font that resembled the Kohinoor Latin Medium font released by Indian Type Foundry. Later, it was further modified and slightly lost its originality.
