I remember when I was small, in the early 1990s, a lot of the price tags had a red logo and I thought the whole store was based on red. Is this true? The same square with the AMES letters, but red! Then in the mid-90s when they remodeled, it was green.

Maybe, If you look at some former Ames pictures on this site one Ames's walls are covered with red A's connected by lines

I'll get a picture

this is what I meant


actually they're white A's not red

Yes, Ames did revamp the logo with the last known green style.  I like the green much better.

The red logo was kept on many stores but most were replaced with the white-green logo.  

The red was a nice fit on white background

Chris

What about their price tags and bags?

I actually liked the red logo myself..heh :)

Here is an old Ames logo on eBay:   Oval red with white letters...

As for price tags & bags, i have no idea. :bounce:

If you look closely at the picture of that ebay auction, that logo is similar to Hills' logo, except Hills was in cursive. Weird...

Thats because Ames aquired the Hills chain


Man if Ames was still around I think the updated present day logo would be green and red incorporating both past and present


who's with me?

Here is the same logo but not in red...

:info::info::info::bounce::bouncing::tumble:I've come across an Ames price tag a few days ago and instead of having white letters on green it was the red letters on a white backgound

I don't know about their bags but its a big possiblity that their bags had the red logo on it too.:cool:

other retailers such as Caldor,Bradlees,and Kmart had their logos also in red

so to stick out they changed their logo color to green

Which is a BRILLIANT idea!

BTW some stores have a Ames sign with the letters colored in green..

was that a different variation in changing to green or was it an earlier logo when they first changed to the color green?:question::question::question: need:info:

example of above

this is from Sturbridge,Mass

They should have made the logo lavender because all of you are a bunch of fags.


THATS AN INSULT!

WHO ARE YOU?

AT LEAST I ID MYSELF!

76&AmesfanmanBBTB

heres my theory of the store colors

1.white logo with red background  1950's-1980's
2.red letters  1980's-early 1990's
3.white letters green background early  1990's-present
 
in chronological order
