I was working on a different post when I stumbled to this website - www.logorip.com , some sort of graveyard for old logos. They have some great ones such as the old Arsenal logo, the BP logo, Enron, PanAm, and even the swastika and interesting discussions about them.
Got me thinking about our dead logos here in Kuwait! Here are a few that would be added -
Kuwaiti Logos R.I.P -

Zain old logo, when it was MTC . Died in 2007.

Agility’s old logo, when it was Public Warehousing Company (PWC). Died in 2006.

NBK’s old logo, before they modified it with the red line and resizing he camel to match the words. Died 2005.

Old Bank of Kuwait and the Middle East (BKME) logo, before it was bought by Ahli United Bank and modified the logo to look closer to the AUB brand. Died in 2005.

(thanks to Ra7aLaH for finding it)
Wataniya Telecom old logo, before the whole rebranding. Not sure if the reason was that it was an exact copy of an american company’s logo. Died in 2001.
Any others you can think of??

Hasan, the old one … with the big camel and small words and no red line.
The current one is different.

KM, try harder
Ra7alah, thx alot
Rikada, yeah good one!! When did it die? was it last year or the year before??
As for the Kuwait Airways logo, I dont think it changed at all, its pretty good! I havent seen different versions, unless you mean the blue striped line on the bottom.
Wataniya …. i like their logo lot believe it or not! One of my favorites actually. And im talking about the new one.

I have no idea when it passed away exactly.
As for Kuwait Airways, I love the logo! Especially when it is used in its simplest form. Yes I am talking about the lines as well differences in positioning, size, shade of blue etc.

Mark, thx! Its good to be back (i hope)
Rikada, ya I agree Kuwait airways need a serious job on their brand overall, although their logo probably has alot of hidden value that isnt appreciated by them.
العرزاله, lool nice one, and so true!

Alrai newspaper?
Burgan Bank?
Al-Tijari bank?

All of them had some touch-ups though not a whole new logo like the ones you mentioned.
