Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Lippincott, which worked on the rebrand, describes the Spark as evoking “the light bulb that goes off in your head when you feel smart about something”.
Walmart’s corporate timeline lists the wordmark with the Spark, together with the slogan “Save money. Live better.”, under 2009; the logo was first used on the company’s website on 1 July 2008.
Walmart said the 2025 design was inspired by Sam Walton’s trucker hat. Its brand centre describes the Spark as its primary logo.
