As Walmart has grown, this commitment extends from providing
affordable prices on products to serving customers and members in
ways that make the shopping experience more delightful. The company
aims to save its customers and members time, while enabling people
to be healthier, build their wealth and strengthen communities and
the planet.
Introducing Walmart’s Updated Brand Identity
Walmart’s brand identity has evolved to reflect what the
retailer offers today, while honoring what has always been special
about the one-stop shopping destination. Walmart’s business has
grown to meet the changing needs and wants of its customers from
affordable prices to digital offerings to health services and more.
This updated brand identity will better represent who Walmart is
today.
Some key features of the brand’s refresh:
- The wordmark is inspired by Sam Walton’s classic trucker hat
and brought to life with a modern, custom font that differentiates
Walmart from the crowd.
- The spark exudes the energy of Walmart and remains a beacon
that guides customers through all facets of the Walmart
experience.
- The color palette—True Blue and Spark Yellow—leans on the
retailer’s most recognizable tones and its heritage of blue, while
ushering in new updates to keep the brand fresh.
- The tone is relatable, approachable and representative of the
millions of customers that shop with Walmart, whether conveyed
through its brand voice, illustrations or photography.
“Walmart aims to be an inspirational, digital retailer that
provides all the products, brands and services our customers need
and want. This update, rooted in the legacy of our founder, Sam
Walton, demonstrates our evolving capabilities and longstanding
commitment to serve our customers of today and tomorrow,” said
William White, senior vice president and Chief Marketing Officer,
Walmart U.S. “While the look and feel of our brand is more
contemporary, our refreshed brand identity reflects Walmart’s
enduring commitment to both Sam’s principles and serving our
customers however they need us. As our customers evolve, we will
too. Our Walmart will always be their Walmart, and our brand will
always be a testament to how we innovate and change alongside
them.”
The updated brand identity will help Walmart build credibility
and connection, become known for its convenient digital-first
services and be seen as a more modern, culturally dynamic
brand.
Rollout Plan
Walmart will apply the refreshed brand across all its channels
and customer touchpoints, from its website and app to its stores
and new Home Office opening in Bentonville, Arkansas in January
2025. The process began to roll out in October 2024 with Store 4108
in Springdale, Arkansas, and remaining stores will continue to be
redesigned over time. The brand will officially launch on
Walmart.com, the Walmart app, across marketing campaign assets and
the corporate site in January with the remainder of Walmart’s
assets rolling out throughout the year. To see Walmart’s refreshed
