Brand Overview
Colgate is an American brand of oral hygiene products — toothpastes, toothbrushes, mouthwashes and dental floss — made by Colgate-Palmolive. Colgate toothpaste was first sold in 1873, originally in glass jars, and moved into tubes in 1896. It became a household name in the 1950s with the slogan ‘It Cleans Your Breath While It Cleans Your Teeth’.

History of the Colgate Logo
The red-and-white identity grew out of Colgate’s early red packaging, and the slanted parallelogram badge — leaning forward like a smile being drawn — became the brand’s fixed signature in the late 20th century. The current mark keeps the italic white script-style lettering on the red slant, a combination now used on packs in more than 200 countries.
Meaning of the Colgate Logo
- The red parallelogram: the slanted red block is pure shelf energy — it leans forward, suggesting action and a brighter smile.
- The white italic lettering: flowing white type stands for clean teeth and freshness, softened by its hand-drawn feel.
- The red-white pairing: red for vitality, white for hygiene — the two promises of the product in two colours.
