WalMart Stores is an American public corporation that runs a chain of large, discount department stores. It is the world's largest public corporation by revenue, according to the 2008 Fortune Global 500. Walmart was founded by Sam Walton in 1962. Walmart recently announced a change to its corporate logo which has not been changed since 1992.

The new logo shown alongside introduces the following changes 

• The name Wal-Mart is now one word Walmart with a different more softer font.
• The Star in the middle now moves to the right but is shown as a sunburst in a bright yellow.
  
• The tag line - Save Money. Live Better is at the bottom of the logo. 
  

The previous logo shown alongside consists of the name Wal-Mart written in blue with a star in the middle representing the hyphen. This logo has been in existence since 1992. If you see the history section below, you will see how this logo has pretty much remained the same since 1964.

The logo was updated again in 1981.

1992 - 2008

The star was adopted as an update to the existing logo in early 1992.
