The modern [[Weezer]] logo was designed for usage on the band's [[1994]] debut album ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'', again by Koch. He has gone on record that the logo's font is a modified ''Futura Medium'', although the logo is considerably closer in appearance to ''Futura PT Light''. The most noticeable modification made by Koch is the clipped tails of the ''e'''s, which can easily be used to differentiate between proper and improper instances of the logo. On the rationale behind his modifications to the font, Koch has said: "i didnt want the logo to just be Futura Medium with nothing unique about it, and i thought it looked better the way i modified it". | The modern [[Weezer]] logo was designed for usage on the band's [[1994]] debut album ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'', again by Koch.

The logo is distinctly simple. This is in-line with the intentions of Koch and [[Rivers Cuomo]] behind the whole of ''{{PN|Weezer (The Blue Album)}}'' artwork, meant to be as simplistic and "innocent" as possible.<ref>[[Rivers Cuomo]].

The retail singles for "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]" and "[[Buddy Holly]]" both use the font, as well as the "Bokkus" line of T-shirts sold at Weezer's [[Blue Album Tour|first tour shows]] (though, the incorrect font is used on these shirts). | The logo is distinctly simple.
