In the 1950s, the brand removed the pronoun "The" from the name, leaving a name almost similar to that of its old parent company.

This logo was the first time that the brand used its initials.

===1994–2013===
====1994–2003====
On November 12, 1994, the brand removed the spacing between "Radio" and "Shack" to adopt its current name, which would not be adopted until its official appearance in June 1995.
This will eventually become the retailer's logo for the next 25 years.
====2003–2013 (USA), 2011–2016 (some countries)====
This logo is the most common and perhaps the best known of the brand.
It is similar to the previous one, but with the colors reversed and the name placed behind the R instead of below it.
This logo was only used by international franchises between 2011-2014, with some using it until 2016.
===2009===
In August 2009, RadioShack used the name "The Shack" (despite keeping the original name on top). The campaign increased sales of mobile products, but at the expense of its core components business. It was rebranded back as "RadioShack" thereafter.
===2013–present===
====2013–2015, 2023-present====
This logo is still used internationally.
===2015–2020 (USA), 2015-present (Mexico and packaging)===
In this logo, the appearance of the 1994 wordmark returns, albeit modified.
It was created in response to the merger of RadioShack Corporation with Standard General Holdings.
Although it is no longer used as the main logo, it can be seen in the Mexican subsidiary and in the vignettes of Retail Ecommerce Ventures e-commerce sites, as well as on the packaging of the brand's products.
===2020–2023 (online, USA)===
The 2013 logo was reintroduced in 2020 as part of RadioShack's website overhaul for that year.
