===March–August 1995===
In March 1995, when the company changed its name to Yahoo!, it introduced another logo with a much more elaborate text that includes an exclamation point at the end, but it was short-lived, being used for only 5 months.
===August 1995–1996===
In August 1995, a new logo was introduced which consisted of a stylized yellow jumping "Y" figure on a blue circle with the "Yahoo!" wordmark above often written below. Nicknamed "the jumping "Y" guy", the logo was designed in-house by David Shen,Logoblink.com - Yahoo logos from 1994 till now with a later revision made with the assistance of Organic Online that introduced a new wordmark that would be used in its next few logos until 2013.
===1996–2013===
====1996–2009====
On January 1, 1996, Yahoo! introduced a new logo with a red wordmark (the one originally introduced in late 1995 by David Shen and Organic Online) and a slight shadow behind the text. The font in this logo and below is a modified version of Able. A variant of this logo is still used for Yahoo! Japan.
====2009–2013====
On May 1, 2009, Yahoo! launched a recolored version of the 1995 logo in purple without an outline or shadow, but it didn't fully replace the previous one until November 12, 2009, when the site received a revamp, entirely removing the previous red color from 1995. This was first used as a variant of the previous logo (which was also used as a variant of the 1995 logo), as well as its headquarters and on Yahoo! Messenger's favicon in 2004. It was not used in some countries, most notably Yahoo!7 (of Australia), which still used the 1995 logo until 2014. Coincidentally, the now-related AOL also received a new logo in the same year.
===2013–2019===
On September 5, 2013, Yahoo! unveiled a new logo, which was finalized 30 days later on October 5.
In January 2017, Yahoo! sold the majority of its core business to US telco Verizon, which already owned AOL. This move follows in a series of security breaches in the previous year where roughly one billion accounts were compromised.
In summer 2017, AOL acquired Yahoo! to become Oath (currently Verizon Media). Following the merger, the remainder of Yahoo! was rebranded as Altaba, focusing as an investment company. However, these companies still exist as a division of Verizon Media.
