- From its early days commemorating founder Rudolf Dassler to its current "No.1 Logo," here's everything you need to know about the evolution and history of PUMA's iconic cat logo.
Since its establishment in 1948, PUMA has become one of the most prominent sport and lifestyle brands in the world. Most recently, the German company has found fresh success by recruiting a number of entertainers as ambassadors and collaborators, including Rihanna, Big Sean, and Selena Gomez. Here, however, we’re focusing on the origins of the brand’s iconic logo.
PUMA’s original logo featured a puma cat leaping through a capital “D,” which stood for Dassler as a nod to brand founder Rudolf Dassler. The motif was updated in 1957 with the addition of the word “PUMA” underneath the cat. A year later, the words “Rudolf,” “Dassler,” and “Schuhfabrik” (shoe factory) were added to the design.
In 1968, the logo was stripped down to feature a leaping puma with no border or text, and two years later, the design was refined once again, this time by cartoonist Lutz Backes. Following experiments with two different fonts in the mid-’70s, PUMA settled on the uppercase script that remains to this day, adding the silhouette of a puma leaping over the upper-right corner of the text. This design from 1979 remains largely untouched to this day.

Adidas shoes may look cool, but a pair of Pumas definitely wins in terms of elegance. I always love those posh designs, to be honest.
2:06, “in 1968 to keep up with Adidas & Nike” Nike didn’t come out till 1971. Apart from that Great Video.
Robert B i’m pretty sure nike still existed from 1964 as blue ribbon sports but wasn’t renamed nike until 1971
1972*

I have been a fan of Puma since 1976. I love their shoes and the image of the leaping cat.
The Puma emblem leads me to drive Jaguars.
What's in a brand name?
You tell me!
Does anyone know why they picked the name "puma?" During WWII, the Germans developed the "Tiger" tank, and the "Panther" tank. Also, there was a heavy, eight-wheeled armored car called the "Puma." It had a 50mm antitank gun in its closed-top turret.
Because it sounds cooler than "Ruda", which stands for Rudolf Dassler, the founder of Puma.
Puma was Rudolf Dasslers nickname as a teenager. It certainly has nothing to do with tanks.
Puma 👍👍👍 logo was dope and name

1:42 BTS 💜💜💜💜 It would be great if you didn't cut the whole ad used 🙂 Also BTS were brand ambassadors for puma. Incase you forgot to mention them in the ambassadors list.
U forgot Marradona was sponsored by Puma
Back in the 1980's we called the form strip Puma Paws.
Sprint world records in the 100, 200m are set in Puma’s by usain bolt!
0:56 his name was literally Adi Dassler and you still say it wrong
so you may be wondering why the company called puma has a puma as their logo. let us explain...
You didn’t even mention Usain Bolt!?
Yeah or Rickie Fowler, Vince Carter, Marcus Allen, Oscar De Lahoya, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, Ralph Sampson
🐈Legend💯

1:42 - 1:48 PUMA Turin by BTS
Haha thought I was the only one who recognizes the bts turin commercial! I'm late 6 months to comment tho* and hello fellow army 😁
2:16 Slazenger!
puma disc system is good
Bro do under armour behind the logo
Make video of reebok logo
A hit shoe
Omg I’m a puma intern
Damn, this video is amazing. But please don't call the adidas trefoil the three stripes, the three stripes look different
I miss a mention of the brand SLAZENGER - it has nower days exactly the same logo as Puma in the 70´s - therefore i am asking - COPYRIGHTS?!... ;))
We need Reebok and Fila next
Fila is making a comeback, they have a premier shoe selling at $100.00 at your local mall LOL!👍
Is it more our does it kinda look like Jordan logo
I used to like nike before, but now I like puma just like neymar
Do FILA
I love puma and adidas but i don't really like nike
Aguante nike
Puma shoe makers make 31 cents an hour 🇨🇳
I used to like nike but now its puma or nothing
I want 76%©®°¶∆¶¶¶
Of all of Puma
The big cat logo is what I don't like. They should have just kept Ruda with the Formstrip. Don't like my brands when they associate animals it's just corny.
Puma is very poor shoes
They make the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Nike shoes cost twice as much, feel half as good and last half as long.
Nobody cares
Then why are you here? Seriously, I will never understand this...
