Adobe Logo Design (history)

Adobe Logo Design

Adobe's triangular abstract A is widely known today. In December 1982, Adobe Systems was formed by Chuck Geschke and John Warnock who were trying to start up a new company. The two forty-something men were confident in the software language they developed and its natural applications. The programing language became known as PostScript and featured several innovations. Communications between printer and PC no longer needed a hotchpotch of specialized application protocols and drivers but one software language only. Also the language could describe both graphics and text on one page. Graphic designer Marva Warnock designed the company's first identity. The stylization of the A is carried through all glyphs in a rather accomplished and aware way. The original logo also offers a glance of what the future logo would look like. The new stylized A logo sets an example of how a company extends and respects its own graphic history.
