1955–1967
1958-1967 (Pete logo)
Pizza Hut commenced operations in 1958. Its first logo was its former mascot, Pete, holding the words Pizza and Hut.
1967–1999
In 1967, Pizza Hut began using the now classic logo which features the famous 'red roof' icon which is still used, in a modified form, today. Also, the signature roof for new (and updated) restaurants at the time was changed from brown to red.
1999–present
Wordmark
1999–2010
In late 1999, Pizza Hut introduced a new logo similar to the previous one, but a different font for "Pizza Hut" was introduced and the "i" had a green dot put on it and a yellow underline beneath the wordmark. New and renovated restaurants since this logo no longer use the "Red Roof" design, instead use the new branding (later known as "WingStreet" since 2003) with larger square feet, larger seating capacity, modern interior features, pick-up window for carry-out orders, and free Wi-Fi. However, some renovated restaurants still retain the shape of the previous design, but newer exterior paneling and modernized interior features, and some un-renovated "Red Roof" restaurants only updated to this logo. As of 2010, this is currently being used as a secondary logo. This logo has been through several redesign.
2010 (North America)
This logo was only used at a series of prototype locations in Peoria, IL and Peoria Heights, IL only. This was a concept logo used during a proposed reformatting of the restaurant chain to being exclusively a carry-out chain. This logo was removed from the prototype locations in 2010 and replaced with the 1999 logo.
2010–2014
In February 2010, the red roof was given a glossy look, and the text was modified. This logo is still used at some locations.
2008–present
This logo is used in some countries of South America and is also used in Hong Kong, Israel and Southeast Asia. It was introduced in 2008 and is still used.
2014–present, 2010–2014 (North America)
In February 2014, the yellow stripe at the bottom of the wordmark and the green dot on the "i" were dropped from the logo and the wordmark 1968 was moved down further from the symbol. This change was made possibly to make it look like the 1968 logo. Still used in some countries.
2014–present (North America)
In November 2014, Pizza Hut announced a major change to their menu and the look of their restaurants. They also announced a new logo and 1968 new box, both of which were launched on November 19.
The logo consists of the February 2014 logo in white, on a stylish paintbrush stroke-like red circle. However, on boxes, the logo only has the white roof inside the red circle.
