The Papa Johns logo consists of the brand name in bold sans-serif font. The inscription “Papa Johns” is shown in red, in uppercase, without the apostrophe that was present in the old version (“Papa John’s”). The updated logo contains no additional graphic elements, frames, or shapes, distinguishing it from the previous version, which used an arched form and green banner. This approach makes the logo versatile for digital use, packaging, and restaurant signage. The refreshed branding has been in use since 2021 and retains brand recognition without unnecessary visual details.
Papa Johns is an American pizza chain founded in 1984 by John Schnatter in Indiana. The name comes from the founder’s nickname — Papa John. The company initially focused on pizza delivery with an emphasis on better quality ingredients, which became the basis of its slogan. The brand grew rapidly through franchising and is now present in dozens of countries. In 2021, it underwent a major rebranding, including logo redesign, color palette updates, typography changes, and store design refresh. The company’s headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
