- Download PNG Ricoh Logo PNG Ricoh is an award-winning Japanese brand of digital cameras and office electronics manufacturer, founded in 1936.
- Today it is an international company, operating in 25 countries and selling its products all over the globe.
- Meaning and history 1963 — 1976 Though the company was established in 1936, its first logo was introduced only in 1963, and it was a simple badge, which grew with the brand and turned into a solid and bright logotype, which looks professional and strong today.
- The original Ricoh logo, created in 1963, featured a bold italicized inscription in all capitals of an elegant serif typeface.
- The logotype was enclosed into a horizontally oval frame and looked massive and bright due to the thickness of the letter lines.
- Though the slightly visible sharp serifs softened the brutal look and added a touch of elegance and style to the logo.
- 1976 — 1986 The redesign of 1976 only cleaned the contours of the inscription, slightly enlarging the serifs, and removed a frame, putting the black wordmark directly onto a white background.
- A stylish and modern wordmark, set in a bold and laconic sans-serif has its white letters outlined in red, and the first “R” stylized and drawn in solid red.
- The contour of its upper part was open, which added uniqueness and progressiveness to the logo, making it evoke a sense of lightness and dynamics.
- The “R” was also used as the brand’s icon, being enlarged and placed above the lettering, it looked cool and powerful.
- This logo stayed with the brand for almost twenty years.
- 2005 — Today In 2005 the logo was redesigned again, and now the Ricoh visual identity featured a bold red logotype, which is sometimes complemented by a delicate black “Imagine.
- change.” tagline in the lowercase.
- The smooth and modern sans-serif lettering in all capitals looks minimalist yet its red color adds a sense of passion, power, and professionalism, showing the company as a strong and confident one.
