Rowlands Pharmacy

==19??–1998==
Despite the company existing as far back as 1810, there was not an official logo until around the mid-20th century.
Until the 90's, stores featured a brown & white front façade with "Rowlands Pharmacy" written in a cursive font.
Very few stores still use this logo due to it being replaced with the 2009 logo on front signage starting in the 2010s.
==199?–1998==
Starting in the 90s, some stores started using a bold, serif-like font as opposed to the original handwritten one.
Some stores still use this logo, sometimes in tandem with the 2009 logo (as is the case for the store in Holyhead).
==1998–2009 (primary), 2009–2012 (secondary)==
Rowlands Pharmacy became a brand and subsidiary of the PHOENIX Group (the same company which owns sister company Numark) in 1998, as part of the PHOENIX's Group entrance into the UK market. This logo was still being used as a secondary logo on pharmacy and dispensary labeling until 2012, and also remains on signage at some older branches, mainly ones not renovated since the early 2009 rebrand.

Rowlands Pharmacy's logo was modified in early 2009 around the time the company was hitting it's 200th anniversary. The font was altered, 'PHARMACY' was switched to lowercase, the cross was modified and a new tagline was introduced: Caring for you & your family.
Rowland the Owl was also still being used as the pharmacy's mascot and has received a slightly revised design. Rowland's family were later introduced around 2012.
==2020–present==
In 2020, the company completely redesigned the "cross" after more than 20 years, as part of their "digital first" brand revamp. This was not long after the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown begun.
This also resulted in the retirement of most of the 2009 brand elements, including the zoned store layouts, the magazines, the in-store ads (mostly), among others. The orange and teal colour scheme was replaced with a more modern and simple white and blue, and Rowland the Owl was retired as the company's mascot after almost 15 years. The 2009 logo is still used on most branches, but the number of stores still with older branding has been going down considerably.
