This logo, which debuted in the summer of 1976, was the chain’s most recognizable, and was still in use when Zayre Corp. was acquired by Ames in 1989.
==1989-1990==
After Ames’ acquisition of Zayre, they almost immediately began work on converting Zayre locations to Ames locations. It was announced in mid-October 1989 that the Zayre name would be kept for 61 stores in the Miami, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Chicago markets, due to increased brand recognition there. An updated logo, with the asterisk rendered in ink strokes, first saw use at the end of that month. Despite this, Ames reneged on their decision, and any remaining Zayre stores were converted to Ames or shuttered by March 1990.
