Camel Logo History

Starting With C                                  Camel Recent Logo

This logo has changed significantly several times since its inception in 1913, when the tobacco company was first opened and operated by Richard Joshua Reynold. Reynold had previous experience in the industry as he had worked for some years on a tobacco farm owned by his father in Virginia between 1874 and 1895. As a lover and smoker of tobacco, and owner of the business, Reynold transported goods between two local towns, one of which regularly hosted a roaming circus Barum & Bailey. Hence the Camel logo was born, from Reynolds' love of the circus in the nearby town.
