UPDATE 10/12/2014 - I have finally added to this photo the pre-Smiley Walmart bag design which first came out around 1995-ish (correct me if I'm wrong there, it might have come out earlier) and the latest design of the Walmart bag with the Savings Catcher logo.

 

I was able to find and save every design of the Walmart bag issued since 1995. The bags from left to right are as follows:

 

1995: A fairly plain design on a white background featuring Walmart's two famous (now dead) slogans "We Sell for Less!" and "Always".

 

1998: Smiley and the Rollback slogan's first appearance on the bag. Walmart.com is just a small reference at the bottom, since the website jut came out recently and the internet is still a pretty new concept. Walmart changes the color of their bags from white to blue here, and they will remain that color for the next 8 years.

 

2001: Basically the same as the 1998 one but the Walmart.com on the bottom is made larger now that more people are using the internet.

 

Early 2006: 4 of the 10 designs used since 1995 came out between 2006 and 2008. Walmart ditched Smiley in 2006 after a lawsuit over who truly owned the copyright to the smiley face, so now the bag is fairly plain looking, but still blue.

 

Late 2006: The design of the bag stays the same, but the color of the plastic changes from blue to white, probably because white bags are cheaper to make.

 

Early 2007: Walmart changes their tagline from Always Low Prices. Always. to Save Money. Live Better.

 

Late 2007: Same design, but writing changed to a light blue color from black to match the new color of the soon to come Project Impact remodels.

 

2008: The new lowercase, unhyphenated 'Spark' logo is introduced with the official roll out of Project Impact.

 

2013: Bag changed color from white to gray because it is supposedly more eco-friendly.

 

Late 2014: Walmart starts featuring the logo for their new Savings Catcher website/app on their bags. The text color also switches from blue to black.

 

I originally wanted to do this photo as a panorama with all of the bags laid out next to each other so you could see how they gradually shrank over the years, but I couldn't get that to work right after about 50 failed attempts, so I had to do the photo this way by photographing the bags individually and sticking them all together, which is why the backgrounds look really funny.

The transformation from a Wal*Mart to a Walmart* has begun. The re-grand opening is set for June 4.

 

I don't think they expanded the store any at all. Just re-arranged it into what they call WOW.

 

It's not WOW when you spend over an hour in there just trying to find stuff. This doesn't seem to be a deterrent to anybody, as it was very crowded this morning. (first friday of the month?)

...there lies a Wal*Mart bag. That's an older Wal*Mart bag. Note the placement of the star. It's now Walmart (one word)

 

I didn't check the contents beyound taking a quick glance. I saw a couple Miller beer cans and that was enough for me.
