  • Download PNG Commonwealth Bank Logo PNG Commonwealth Bank is an Australian financial organization, which was established in 1911 by the government, and became a public company in 1991.
  • Today the bank operates not only across Australia but also in the USA, UK, and New Zealand through more than one thousand operating offices and almost 5 thousand ATMs.
  • Meaning and history The visual identity of the large Australian bank has had two major redesigns, which featured completely different concepts and execution.
  • 1911 – 1960 1950s — 1961 The logo of the bank from the 1959s was composed of a bright rounded badge, executed in two shades of blue — a lighter one for the background, and a darker for a stylized monogram, consisting of “CBA” letters, which stood for “Commonwealth Bank Australia”.
  • The badge was outlined in the thick frame in the same shade of blue, which was used for the monogram.
  • 1961 — 1991 The new elegant logo was created for the bank in 1961.
  • It was a stylish yet delicate circular image with a thin black wordmark around it.
  • The emblem featured a beige background with a bold black circle on the left side.
  • The circle was outlined in three thin black circular frames and had a white contour of the Australia continent placed in the middle.
  • The lettering was executed in a sophisticated serif typeface, and all capital letters of the inscription have a lot of space between each other, which added lightness and style.
  • 1991 — 2020 The redesign of 1991 brought a new concept and color palette to the Commonwealth Bank’s visual identity.
  • The new emblem features a yellow and black palette and comprises a solid rhombus, which is all yellow, with a delicate geometric fragment in black along its right side.
  • The wordmark in black is placed under the emblem and executed in two wrights of one sans-serif typeface.
  • There is one unique element in the wordmark — the double “M” features its letters sharing one of the vertical bars, creating a sense of unity and solidness.
