Craigslist logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- There are various sections, from “Jobs” and “Housing” to “Résumés” and discussion forums.
- The founder, Craig Newmark, was inspired by the way people help one another connecting through such platforms as the WELL and MindVox.
- So, he started an email distribution list for friends.
- Most of them were telling about upcoming social events that could be interesting to local software and Internet developers.
- New categories were added, “jobs” being the first of them.
- Eventually, in 1996, the mailing list was replaced by a website.
- Emblem Instead of developing an emblem of his own, the founder opted for the sign known as the Peace symbol.
- The symbol is used as a favicon, while the primary Craigslist logo as seen on the website doesn’t include it.
- The Peace sign was designed by Gerald Holtom in 1958 for the British nuclear disarmament movement.
- Font The primary logo features nothing more than the name of the website.
- Note, for instance, the multiple serifs, the varying widths of the strokes (like in calligraphy), the decorative “drop” at the ends of the “a,” “c,” and “r.” And yet, Times New Roman is known as a default type in popular word processors, which has made it immensely popular.
- So, in a way, the Craigslist logo looks more like a word in a default font rather than a real logo.
- Color The color doesn’t help to make the design unique, too.
- Both the color and the font of the Craigslist logo work for the same effect – simplicity and maximum usability.
