In the early 2000s, most FedEx operating units used variants of the FedEx logo with a purple ''Fed'' followed by ''Ex'' in various colors. Only the FedEx Express unit used the original color combination of a purple ''Fed'' and orange ''Ex''. The FedEx Ground logo used a green ''Ex'' under this branding. In August 2016, FedEx announced that it would be standardizing all its operating units to use the purple ''Fed'' and orange ''Ex'' previously used by FedEx Express. While the rebranding began in 2016, FedEx said it expected it to take until 2021 for all other color variants to be phased out across all operating units.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Birkner |first=Christine |date=August 24, 2016 |title=FedEx Is Making All of Its Logos Purple and Orange, Its Most Recognized Color Scheme |work=AdWeek |url=https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/why-fedex-consolidating-its-color-scheme-173130/ |access-date=April 6, 2022}}</ref>
