Pinterest logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Pinterest Logo PNG The Pinterest logo has gone a long way from a script wordmark based on an existing font to a hand-crafted script wordmark and, eventually, a more business-like emblem.
- Having it in mind, the service created its first logo in monochrome, but already in a year, an iconic red and white color palette was adopted.
- 2010 — 2011 The very first logo for Pinterest featured a black cursive lettering with a gradient blue shadow and a wide white and thin gray outline.
- The inscription looked cool due to its layers, though was too light and “usual”, this is why it only stayed with the service for a few months.
- 2011 — Today The iconic Pinterest icon was introduced by the brand in 2011.
- It is a solid red circle with a smooth white letter “P”, stylized as an elegant pin, with its bottom parts of the vertical bar pointed.
- In the very beginning, the icon was often used on its own, as well as the logotype, which was created in the same year.
- 2011 — 2016 The Pinterest logotype, designed in 2011 featured a bold red inscription on a white background.
- Written in a custom cursive typeface, the wordmark had its first letter repeating the “P” of the emblem.
- 2016 — Today The logo, introduced by Pinterest in 2016, is composed of an iconic emblem and a logotype placed on its right.
- Both parts of the insignia are executed in the same dark red and white color palette, though feature different styles of lettering.
- The “P” on the circular emblem remained untouched and fully repeats its version, created in 2011, while the wordmark got a new typeface.
- Now it is executed in a title case of a bold and traditional sans-serif font with clean lines of the letters, which are placed pretty close to each other.
- Both feature a white script “P” against the red background.
- Pinterest has the “P” in a circle, while in case of Path, the letter is placed in a square with rounded corners, which seems to be the only major difference.
- As a response, Path filed an opposition aiming to forbid Pinterest to trademark the stylized “P.” Anyway, even today, several years after the controversy started, both the companies still have the same “twin” emblems.
- Icon At the first sight, nothing is interesting in the Pinterest Icon — a white cursive letter “P” on a solid red square.
- But take a closer look, and read the name of the application out loud.
- Hidden in the logo of the popular Internet service Pinterest, whose users can collect images they like and “pin” them to their online board.
- Font The letters featured in the 2011 Pinterest logo certainly didn’t belong to any of the existing typefaces.
