Including a new font change, the Disney park has change the titling from only a capital ‘E’ to all caps.

Epcot to EPCOT.

Way back when it first opened the park was named EPCOT in all caps because it was an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, inspired by Walt's vision for a utopian city of the future.

As WDW News Today writes, "other park name changes took place in the mid-'90s when the park became Epcot '94, followed by Epcot '95, and ultimately just... Epcot."

Now, as first revealed at the D23 expo earlier this year, its back to all caps and you'll see that on the newest merchandise and signage in the park.
