What the Burger King Logo Colors Mean?

The Burger King logo colors all point at the food. The 2021 rebrand threw out a blue arc that had run since 1999, calling it the one color in the logo's history that referred to nothing on the menu, and went back to bun-colored cream, flame red and grill orange. The wordmark sits between two half-buns, the shape the brand has used on and off since 1969.

Burger King Logo Color History

Burger King logo color history runs bun-and-flame from 1969 to 1999, then a blue swoosh era, then a full return to the warm palette in 2021. The retro turn was deliberate, aimed at looking handmade rather than corporate.

Burger King Logo Fonts

Burger King logo fonts are Flame Sans, a chunky rounded custom face from the 2021 work, not licensed. A heavy rounded geometric sans is the closest match.
