Gunnard Lindquist, Frank Burke, and Oscar Fisher united their Chicago, Illinois, hardware stores into "Ace Stores". The company was named after the ace fighter pilots of World War I, who were able to overcome all odds. Ace Stores was incorporated in 1928, and the company opened its first warehouse a year later. In 1931, the name was changed to Ace Hardware Corporation 1968 the proportions of the elements changed. The largest part of the logo was a white trapezoidal figure. This allowed placing the name of the cooperative in two lines. The artists depicted four red stripes of varying sizes. They were arranged in ascending order, with the shortest line at the bottom and the longest at the top. And the font of the word “ACE” was also modified. The designers made a straight vertical line on the inside of the “C” to remove the rounding. At the same time, they widened the right stroke on the “A” and the left stroke on the “E.” All colors except black and white were muted. Underneath is a green triangle was a white silhouette of a fighter plane.
