J.C. Newman Announces Updated Logo

In celebration of J.C. Newman’s 125th anniversary, the Newman family is introducing a new logo and branding.

Over the past 125 years, our company branding has evolved considerably, in 1895, my great-grandfather founded our family business as the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. In 1927, he merged and the company became M. & N. Cigar Manufacturers, Inc. When we moved to Tampa in 1953, the factory was known as Standard Cigar Company. In 1997, we retired M. & N. and Standard and reintroduced the J.C. Newman name and the logo that we have been using until this day. After 23 years, we think that it is time to refresh our branding again.Drew Newman

“With our new branding, we have kept the historic J.C. Newman Cigar Co. font as a connection to our company’s history,” said Newman. “We modernized and simplified our clock tower logo, which reflects our work to restore our historic El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa. We’ve included 1895 to show our company’s longevity. We choose gold as our primary color to reflect the fact that we hand craft high quality products and provide exceptional customer service.”

For the next six months, J.C. Newman’s logo will include “Our 125th Year” in celebration of this major milestone. Beginning in January, J.C. Newman’s logo will change again as shown below.
