The original logo first saw use in 1919 when the company was American Messenger Company.
In 1961, Paul Rand created the company's third logo, a shield meant to represent stability and integrity; the bow on the box represented the package service.
On March 25, 2003, UPS unveiled a new logo, the fourth the company has used, replacing the package and shield design which had been used for 42 years.
