I swear when I was a child and saw the logo I thought this dude was oooooooooooooooolllllllllllldddddddddd. His face I recall crinkling with wrinkles in the TV ads when he smiled. But now he just looks normal, not ancient. Yeah he’s got white hair but I’m pretty sure that’s just those powdered wigs. Option 1: they made him look younger. Option 2: I am no longer 9 years old.
Not a yank so I only have vague knowledge of this guy, but I do know that art styles can make a big difference.
I’m gonna guess it’s a bit of both, everyone looks super old to a 9 year old and brands tend to try and make their logos less detailed over time
