From 1994 to 2003, this logo was used simultaneously with the next, more simplistic logo. It is still used at a few scant locations.
IHOP Restaurant
1994–2015
Similar to the previous logo, except the "International House of Pancakes" wordmark was simply replaced with the acronym "IHOP". This logo would go on to be the longest-running used for the company, It lasted for 21 years. It is still used at some locations.
IHOP
2015–present
In June 2015, IHOP changed its logo for the first time in 21 years, with a logo containing a curve under the 1994 wordmark resembling a smile (the "O" and "P" are the eyes while the half of the "P" serves as the nose). This change was rumored to be made in order to make the logo look "happier", as if the former was "frowning" (although ads in the "Come Hungry, Leave Happy" campaign had the banner curving upwards as if it was smiling). Also, the word "Restaurant" was dropped from the logo.
