Meaning and history
At the outset, the ADATA logo was just the wordmark with the company’s name in block letters. Lately, the brand received an emblem featuring a coloured hummingbird hovering in the air next to the wordmark on its left side. The colour palette of the bird is very noticeable and cheerful and includes red, purple, sky blue, green, pineapple yellow and tangerine orange. The bird’s tail is continued by a flow of tangerine orange five-point stars. The graphics of the wordmark are clear and elegant, resembling the commercial font Ordin, and its colour tone is azure blue.
