The Evolving Look of Cat® Machines From a red wavy Caterpillar logo on gray paint to our current Cat® triangle logo on our yellow paint, the look of our brand has evolved significantly over the last 90 years… By Lee Fosburgh, Caterpillar Heritage Services 1925 A wavy logo/symbol was adopted by the new Caterpillar Tractor Co. All Caterpillar machines were painted battleship gray. 1927 New Caterpillar track-type tractor models were labeled differently from the original 1925 product line. 20 Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club Issue 145
1930 Caterpillar officially dropped the wavy logo/symbol printed in text, although the wavy logo remained in cast parts for a few years. 1931 Caterpillar changed the paint color of its machines from gray to Hi-Way Yellow. May/June 2019 www.acmoc.org 21
1950 Caterpillar started using “Cat” on machines. Prior to that only “Caterpillar” was used. 1955 Series letters start appearing on machines after the model name to distinguish new models from the old ones. 1967 Issue 145 Block-C logo was introduced, along with trade dress box that contained logo and model name. Previously, placement of branding and model name was more varied. 22 Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club

I was so depressed that I told Cam there was no point in going now.” Cam wasn’t willing to give up that easy.
