InstallShield

==1990-1996==
==1995-2005; 2005-present (secondary)==
Following the release of InstallShield3 in late 1995 and the eventual relaunch of Sterling Technologies as InstallShield Corporation, InstallShield's logo was changed. The "Shield" portion of the logo was now written in normal case. Although no longer the primary logo, it's still used as a secondary logo on setups using the "Skinned" dialog theme.
==2005-present==
===2005-2016===
Starting with InstallShield 11.5 in November 2005 (over a year after Macrovision, now TiVo Corporation, bought InstallShield), the logo was redesigned yet again, which was in line with other Macrovision software offerings of the time. This has since became the foundation for future versions of InstallShield ever since. Although the following logo was introduced after Acresso Software was relaunched as Flexera Software in October 2009, this was still used as the primary logo until it was fully replaced starting with InstallShield 2016.
===2009-present===
This logo was originally introduced as a secondary logo when Acresso Software (which was spun off from Macrovision's software division a year prior) became Flexera in October 2009. However, this didn't completely replace the previous logo until InstallShield 2016.
==Icons==
===1993-1995===
This was used on installers made with InstallShield 2. Unlike the later icons, this icon featured a rendition of the Windows flag of the time, during Windows 3.1/3.11's popularity.
===1995-2002===
First introduced with InstallShield3, this went on to become the most commonly used Setup icon. Although replaced by the next 2 icons from 2000-2001, this was still used on bootstrappers for MSI based installers until InstallShield 8 in 2002.
===2000-2002===
This icon is essentially the icon for the Windows Installer service on Windows (likely an indirect promotion of InstallShield for Windows Installer at the time). This was extremely short lived, having been only used on InstallShield version 6.10 (the previous icon was used as a mid-setup icon), before being replaced yet again starting with 6.2 later the same year. As with the previous one, this was still used on bootstrappers for MSI based installers until InstallShield 8.
===2000-2001===
Another case of an extremely short lived logo, introduced with InstallShield 6.2. Unlike the previous one, this one was more common, due to its high presence in PackageForTheWeb self extractors, and even due to quick adoption of the version by various developers of the time.
===2001-2007; 2001-present (secondary)===
First introduced with InstallShield 6.30 in mid-2001, this quickly went on to become the most common icon for InstallShield setups. Although no longer used as a primary setup icon starting with InstallShield 2008 in 2007, this can still be seen on the 'Classic' theme as well as on mini-status messages during installs with this theme active.
===2005-2007; 2005-2016 (secondary)===
First introduced with InstallShield 11.5 in November 2005, the logo was given a visual overhaul for the first time since 2001. This was used as a mid-setup icon (the previous one was used as a Setup launcher icon) from version 11.5-12. Although replaced starting with InstallShield 2008 in 2007, this logo was still used (albeit without the FlexNet logo of the time on the bottom right; InstallShield was briefly branded as part of the FlexNet family of products, alongside FlexNet Connect and FlexNet Publishing) on the start page of the InstallShield IDE until InstallShield 2015.
===2005-2016; 2016-present (secondary)===
This started as an alternate version of the previous icon. This became the primary icon starting with InstallShield 2008 in 2007, running until InstallShield 2016, when the current, flattened version of this logo was introduced. This is still used on the 'Blue' theme, as well as on the activation dialog on the most recent versions of InstallShield and its related products (including AdminStudio).
===2009-present===
The current, flattened version of the past 2 icons was first introduced after Acresso Software became Flexera. However, starting with InstallShield 2016, this flattened icon officially replaced the previous one.
