This logo debuted on February 1, 1969, but was not fully used in all advertisements for the store until July of that year. Despite its retirement, it was still used as a secondary logo as late as 2001.
===1969–1977===
Kmart - 1969 (Print, with SSK).svg|Print version
This secondary logo was used intermittently with the primary one, to help group together the Kresge's and Jupiter Discount Stores brands by including the symbol of the parent company, then named the S. S. Kresge Co. This was used until 1977, when the parent company's name was officially changed to the Kmart Corporation.
==1990–2004==
This logo was seen at many older Kmart stores until 2022, and on Kmart Express until 2017. On January 22, 2002, Kmart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed around 500 stores.
===2002–2016===
This logo was only used at five prototype locations; four in the Peoria, Illinois area (Peoria, Pekin, Morton and Washington) and one in White Lake, Michigan. The name of the city would be displayed alongside or under this logo, with the colors being changed as well using grey and lime colors. Since this was a test logo, this didn't spread beyond those stores.
This logo was officially discontinued with the closure of the Morton Kmart in 2016.
==2004–present==
In 2004, Kmart's parent company, Kmart Corporation, acquired Sears to become Sears Holdings and created a new logo, and most of the Big and Super Kmart stores were rebranded as simply 'Kmart' whilst keeping their features. This logo is not used on any new stores, as the last new-built Kmart opened in 2002, before its bankruptcy (although it was used when Kmart reverted some of their stores from Sears Essentials and Sears Grand).
On October 15, 2018, the parent company of Kmart, Sears Holdings, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, making it Kmart's second bankruptcy filing. All of Sears Holdings' assets, including Kmart and it's subsidiaries, were transferred over to Transformco.
