History
1853–1917
Founding wordmark
American Express was founded in 1853 as a freight and express delivery company, and its earliest mark rendered the name in plain serif lettering without a containing shape. The company had not yet developed the financial services identity it would become known for.
1917–1963
Early travel era
By 1917, American Express had pivoted toward travel and financial services, and the updated mark reflected that shift with a more formal typographic treatment. The design served the company through both world wars and the postwar travel boom.
1963–1974
Green box era
In 1963, the company adopted a boxed logotype that placed the name in a contained rectangular frame, a format that would define its visual system for decades. The green colorway distinguished it from competitors and aligned with the launch of the first American Express card products.
