Verizon is sending out notices today announcing a revised Verizon logo that officially drops the Verizon Wireless name in use since 2000 and officially integrates the wireless division into Verizon Communications itself, mere weeks after the completion of the landmark Vodafone stake purchase, which is also requiring an equally large bond sale in order to finance the purchase.
The new logo will officially debut in national marketing by the beginning of next month as all current marketing and associated collateral is also being replaced within the next 2 weeks; Verizon is also requiring disposal of any references to the old Verizon Wireless logo as soon as possible.
