Brand heritage
Logo history & brand milestones
Company founding, the smile logo introduced between October 1999 and February 2000, and its 2025 update, as recorded in the cited sources. Logos used before the smile are not described here. Company and product dates are labelled separately from design changes.
Logo milestone · 1999–2000
Between October 1999 and February 2000, Amazon’s logotype gained a curved arrow running from the a to the z, shaped like a smile. Turner Duckworth, which says it took the brief from Jeff Bezos in 1998, describes turning the curved line of the previous logo upside down to form the smile. [2] [3]
Logo milestone · 2025-05
The design agency Koto and Amazon’s in-house design team, Amazon XCM, updated the logo: the smile’s shaft and arrowhead were enlarged and set in a custom orange called Smile Orange, and a custom font, Amazon Logo Sans, was created for the logos of Amazon’s sub-brands. The project also simplified the identity of more than 50 sub-brands. [4]

Amazon logo Amazon corporate wordmark and smile · website observation
The Amazon corporate wordmark and orange smile were observed as inline SVG on Amazon’s official Sustainability website on 2 November 2026. This downloadable SVG is a sanitized website-artwork rendition, and its PNG/JPG files are rendered derivatives; it is not an unchanged publisher master. Vector path data, fill attributes and authored viewport were preserved. The wordmark uses the source’s currentColor, rendered black in a standalone SVG image; the smile uses #FF6200. No exact logo adoption date, designer attribution, publisher reuse licence or independent human editorial review is established.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Turner Duckworth describes its Amazon logo as turning a straight line into a smile-shaped arrow running from the a to the z, to show that Amazon sells everything from A to Z.
Koto said the 2025 update places the emphasis on a deeper smile rather than on the arrow.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteFor the 2025 update, Koto created Amazon Logo Sans, a custom font for Amazon’s logos, and revised the company typeface Ember, first developed for Kindle, as Ember Modern.
Logo type: combination
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
