History of the Close-Up Logo
Close-Up broke toothpaste’s white-paste rule in 1967 with a clear red gel and a youthful, close-up-confidence attitude. The logo — lowercase italics that lean into each other — matches that pitch: the current master is set in near-black with a crisp white keyline, ready to sit on the brand’s famous red packs.
Meaning of the Close-Up Logo
- The lowercase italics: leaning lowercase letters feel young, quick and intimate — toothpaste for getting close.
- The white keyline: the fine white outline lifts the dark lettering off the red packaging and gives it a gel-like shine.
- The tight setting: letters crowd together, acting out the brand name: close up.

Conclusion
