On November 7, 1984, General Foods executives unveiled a new logo at a worldwide management conference in Rye Brook, NY.

“The leaf conveys the notion of growth as it relates to the nature of the company's business - food - and to the corporation itself.”
Saul Bass, as quoted in the New York Times (November 9, 1984)[1]

The Philip Morris Companies would acquire General Foods in 1985, and merge it with its newly-acquired Kraft, Inc. in 1989 to form Kraft General Foods. Most of General Foods' brands remain owned by the successor companies of KGF, Mondelēz International and Kraft Heinz.
