Although it may be a power hungry empire, or as Bart Simpson calls it an “evil corporation,” Disney truly has risen to the top over time. Their Mickey Mouse head logo alone is a global trademark. Disney has its main logos that we all know very well, but if you think about it further, Disney is the proud owner of dozens of logos. Take a look at their theme parks alone. Each ride, park, sections of the parks and even hotels all have individual names and logos.

This logo encapsulates all four of the main Disney World theme parks. Here we have the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Each Park does have its own logo, but the above design combines them all. Disney generally uses the above logo on their merchandise bags and their dishware at their fast food restaurants. This way they can use the same bags and cups and such at all four of their parks. Below are the four main logos that represent each individual park in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Disney is also the proud owner of several other theme parks in Orlando and all over the world. With Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, Disneyland Paris and Honk Kong and California Adventure, to name a few, Disney has a ton of logos under their belt. Not only do they create new logos and advertising for all of there resorts, attractions and parks, but they continue to update them every several years as well. Disney has a very classic theme for itself to draw in older generations that know it as it used to be, but they also are always changing and updating. The oxymoron is quite interesting and I’m sure, challenging to the designers.

Aside from all the great park logos, Disney resorts and attractions cannot be left out. There are so many, that it would take an extremely long post to display them all, but below are a select few that I found appealing. Some are from specific shopping locations, while others are resort names and specific rides within the parks.

It must be great to be a Disney logo designer, because you know that if they like your work, you probably have a pretty steady job. They are always changing and developing new resorts and attractions, so they always need new logos to advertise. In today’s economy, every company must keep things fresh to draw more people to them and Disney is no different. If they didn’t know what they were doing, they wouldn’t be in business as long as they have!
