Alibaba logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Its online sales and profits are higher than those of all US retailers combined.
- And yet, quite a few designers have criticized the Alibaba logo.
- Meaning and history The conglomerate was founded in 1999 by a group of 18 co-founders including Jack Ma, the person who came up with the name “Alibaba.” Symbol The focal point of the logo is a lowercase letter “a” with a human face inside.
- Supposedly, it’s the face of a satisfied customer.
- At least, the person definitely has a broad smile on his face.
- Below the emblem, there’s the lettering “Alibaba.com” in smaller letters.
- Emblem criticism The Alibaba logo has attracted criticism from the designer community.
- However, what really matters is that Alibaba is often seen on the list of top 10 publicly traded companies in the world by market capitalization.
- So, after all, the logo has been good enough, taking into consideration the type of business the company has been into.
- At least, it didn’t prevent it from getting to the top.
- Font The Alibaba logo combines two typefaces, a version of the Univers font for “Alibaba,” and a version of the Pluto Sans font for “com.” To be precise, the full name of the first type is Linotype Univers Com 740 Extended Heavy.
- It was developed by Hannes von Döhren in 2012.
- Although it’s based on the architecture of the Pluto Family, it looks very clear and has a distinctive large x-height (the distance between the baseline and the mean line of lower-case letters), which makes it perfectly legible, even in small sizes.
- Colors Orange is known as the color most easily seen in dim light or against the water, which is the reason why it’s often used, for instance, for life rafts, life jackets.
