Since late 2013, it dropped the wordmark in favor of the WD logomark for the consumer internal and external storage drives but it kept the full logo as a corporate logo until 2017. The original blue variant of the WD logomark was used on most consumer products until 2019. However, it is still being present on some webpages such as the WD Support's software download page.

In 2019, the WD logo changed its color from blue to orange. It is presently used only on all of WD-branded external HDD and SSD drives while most consumer internal HDD and SSD drives will mostly use the 2017-present Western Digital logo.
