Similarities and Differences

These are some interesting characteristics in this selection of big business logos:

  • A majority use blue as the primary color. In fact, you may hear "IBM blue" or "UPS brown" to describe a certain color -- which goes to show you how closely people associate color with corporate image.
  • Most use a simple sans-serif font, such as Arial or Helvetica. A sans-serif font is one without "feet" on it. Learn more about using fonts.
  • If the logos use a graphical element, it is a simple shape - square, oval, checkmark, star, etc.
  • Most logos are a stylized version of the company name, rather than an abstract symbol by itself.
  • Only one logo (Altria) would be expensive to print. The rest are one or two colors, most with "flat" fills rather than gradients.
  • All of these logos would size up and down well. This means that they would work well on anything from a business card to a billboard.
