The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass-media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. The Disney logo, based on Walt Disney's signature, is one of the world's most recognizable logos. The company is a successor to the short-lived Laugh-O-Gram Studios.

This version was introduced no later than 1963[16]. This logo was used on packaging labels[16][17][18], matches[19], a sewn patch[20], and telephone directories for Walt Disney Productions[21] and Disneyland[22]. One of the last known appearances of this logo was in 1981.[23]

1966–1983
One of the first appearances of this logo was the 1965 annual report, and would be used on telephone directories[24], DisNews from 1967[25] to 1983,[26] select employee benefit program revisions[27], the Walt Disney 16mm Films 1967/68 Entertainment Catalog[28], and envelopes from 1978[29] to 1982[30]. It was also used as the basis for the Walt Disney Educational Materials Company and Walt Disney Educational Media Company logos.
1967–1987
This logo was primarily seen on annual reports between the 1966[31] and 1978[32], as well as a convertible specimen from January 1968[33]. It was also used to represent Walt Disney World's Disney University[34].
1969–2005
This logo was used on select material, such as the 1968[35] and 1971 annual reports[36], The Disney Management Style[37], and pre-1996 material for Walt Disney World. As of 1996, Disney continues to use the symbol for miscellaneous purposes until 2005 and up until today for WDW-related purposes.

Before 1986, the version of the logo using the company's full name was only used in corporate contexts, an early example being on documents printed in late 1971 discussing the company's plans for its then-upcoming 50th anniversary. This logo debuted around the time of the opening of Walt Disney World.

On February 6, 1986, Walt Disney Productions changed its name to The Walt Disney Company to reflect the company's diversity, as "Productions" only reflected the operations of the film studio. Before 2009, the words "The" and "Company" were set in Times (which was also used by many Disney and Buena Vista-branded properties at the time; Walt Disney World still uses Times in its logo today), with "Walt Disney" set in its signature font. This new name was revealed a month before its renaming.

The new logo was first seen during the Disney Content Showcase Asia-Pacific 2024, which was held in Singapore between November 20 to 21, 2024. However, as the previous logo is still in use across all Disney Companies websites, it is unknown when this logo will be officially introduced.
