In 1955, Matsushita Electric introduced the Panasonic brand, and it was first used as a brand of speakers. The name is a combination of "Pan" and "Sonic". The name was used on products to be exported to the US market as Matsushita could not use the National name there because it had already been trademarked.

In 1961, Matsushita traveled to the United States and met American dealers. The company began producing television sets for the U.S. market under the Panasonic brand name. It was later used in Europe on radios and televisions under the National Panasonic name until it dropped the National name in all of its products in favor of Panasonic.
The wordmark and the "N-mark" are similar to those used by National at that time.

In 1971, Panasonic changed its logo with the now more recognizable one, written in Helvetica font, and dropped the Panasonic "N-Mark" logo. In 2008, Matsushita was renamed to Panasonic Corporation. In April 2022, the company name Panasonic Corporation was renamed to the Panasonic Holdings Corporation.
