History

New England Telephone, through various mergers and successor companies, has carried various names and used numerous logos. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

New England Telephone and Telegraph Co.
Being a part of AT&T, New England Telephone followed the various corporate looks of AT&T over the years. After the 1984 Bell System Divestiture the Bell logo and name was assigned to the Regional Holding Companies.
New England Telephone
In 1969, AT&T revamped its corporate identity, which included the modern Bell logo. In 1984, after the AT&T divestiture, New England Telephone and New York Telephone were spun off to the newly created Regional Holding Company, NYNEX Corporation. The logo is still in use today on Verizon trucks and pay phones.
NYNEX
In 1994, the New England Telephone and New York Telephone names ceased to exist, both became branded as simply NYNEX, and the Bell System logo was dropped from the corporate logo, however, it remained on phone booths, even on the then-new NYNEX signs.

In 1996, Bell Atlantic merged with NYNEX. The logo brings to mind its namesake ocean. The merger also restored the Bell System logo.
Verizon New England Telephone & Telegraph, Inc.
Since 2000, the successor company to New England Telephone has been Verizon Communications. The Bell System logo disappeared, again (except on trucks and phone booths). "Verizon" is added to the NET&T corporate name, and it does business as "Verizon New England".
