South Carolina Logos

Whether you like mountains or beaches, historical sites or modern conveniences, South Carolina offers something for everyone. This is true for businesses as well as visitors and residents. South Carolina is home to a wide range of companies, including heritage brands with centuries of history and hungry start-ups ready to make their mark on the world.

South Carolina serves up southern hospitality with its food, beverage, and other service industry companies. Restaurant chains like Denny’s got their start in South Carolina. Seafood and shipping companies are well-represented in this shore-side state. Several regional media companies are also based in SC. Explore some of the best-known South Carolina brands and their logos below.

Denny's Denny’s Diner is a restaurant chain serving American-style food with a retro feel. The company was technically founded in California as Danny’s Donuts in 1953. However, the headquarters moved to Spartanburg, SC in 1987.

Denny’s current logo is a cheery yellow hexagon with a darker goldenrod outline. The name is centered in red letters on a gentle curve. A mix of serif and sans-serif characters gives a casual but classic feel.

The original Danny’s Donuts logo got the message across using a donut with a D in the center. After rebranding, the first official Denny’s logo used a simple black text-based design. A redesign in 1961 introduced the hexagon shape and red and yellow color scheme, which have been present in four versions between the 1960s and the present day.

AgFirst

AgFirst is a bank in the US Farm Credit System (FCS). AgFirst serves farmers and ranchers in southeastern and eastern states as well as Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.

AgFirst was founded in 1995 through a merger of two existing FCS members. Its logo features four equally-sized green leaves and a four-pointed star sprouting from a central point. Veins branch throughout the bottom leaf, using the star's ray as a stem. 

This logo contains several elements that speak to its audience. The leaf motif is an obvious choice for the market. The logo’s vibrant green is associated with money, growth, plants, and expansion. The star element inspires customers to imagine the future of their farms. With such a well-designed logo, it’s no wonder AgFirst has never redesigned it!

Blenheim Ginger Ale Founded in 1903, Blenheim Ginger Ale makes heritage soft drinks using a classic 1880s recipe. This brand has been in business for more than a century yet they only make three different sodas. They pride themselves on doing things the original, old-fashioned way. This historical dedication is obvious in Blenheim’s classic Americana logo.

The Blenheim logo features a bald eagle with outspread wings, holding branches in one foot and arrows in the other. The woodcut design is almost identical to the Great Seal of the United States, except for a banner reading “Classic Ginger Ale.” Stars, Gothic lettering, and rays encourage customers to think of patriotism, southern heritage, and the birth of America.
