Yandex logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Yandex Logo PNG The first Yandex logo (1996) was inspired by that of the company CompTek, in which the Yandex web search engine was created.
- The history of the emblem has included at least five updates so far.
- Meaning and history 1996 – 1997 Both the CompTek and Yandex logos featured a rectangle with a thin black outline.
- The rectangle was broken into two parts.
- In the case of the CompTek logo, the company name was broken into “Comp” and “TEK.” In case of Yandex, the first box housed the letter “я” (“ya”) in the Cyrillic script, while the second box housed the lettering “ndex” in the Latin alphabet.
- You may wonder why the name of the search engine included letters from the two different scripts.
- When the project developed into a web search engine, its creators decided to bring the abbreviation closer to its Russian roots.
- Now, there was some depth in the design: the box on the left appeared to be a bit closer to the reader, while the right rectangle seemed to have moved backward.
- The first letters were given in red, while the rest of the word was black.
- The word “Yandex,” by contrast, was pretty easy to pronounce.
- As the web search engine turned out to be a huge success, the need for a logo that would be more professional and distinctive than the old one emerged.
- Once again, the design was developed in Art.
- The first letter (Cyrillic), which was now significantly higher than all the rest, was given in red.
- The design featured a serif type.
- The letters became a bit thinner and less curvy.
- The color palette remained the same — the iconic red for the first letter, and black all the others.
- English version The primary Yandex logo has always been the one in Russian as in this country the search engine generates not less than 51 of all search traffic.
- Yandex Money logo The logo of the online payment service consists of three parts: the primary Yandex logo, the word “Money” in thinner letters, and (optionally) a yellow purse.
- In the Russian version, the word “Money” is replaced by its translation.
- Yandex Taxi logo The structure and the overall approach are the same as in the case of the Yandex Money and Music.
