Bkash is the name of a payment system, established in 2011 by the BRAC Bank Company and Bangladesh Bank. The financial application allows its customers to use all banking Services right through their gadgets and today it is considered to be one of the most popular and reliable online payment methods in its region.
Meaning and history
Bkash is a relatively young service, which hasn’t had any experiments with its visual identity since the day of its introduction, in 2011. The only changes that were done to the online payment system’s logo were in just one letter of its wordmark and a tagline, which is sometimes used under the official version of the emblem.
The Bkash logo is composed of a bright geometric emblem, which is placed on the left or above the delicate and modest wordmark, and a light and simple tagline. The main part of the brand’s identity is definitely the emblem, which hosts a clean image of a paper bird in dark pink and white. The origami symbol makes the whole logo instantly recognizable and evokes a sense of freedom, the application tends to give to its customers — using bank services on the go, wherever you are.
As for the inscription, initially, it was set in black, but in a few years, the brand changed the color of just one letter, “B”, to pink, for a better balance between the graphical and text parts of the logo. The lettering is executed in a narrowed and elegant typeface with all the letters but “K” in the lowercase.
The “a BRAC Bank Company” tagline, which is not always used with the logo, is set in all capitals of a simple yet modern sans-serif typeface, in a light gray color, which adds professionalism and stability to an elegant and even sleek logo of the online payment system from Bangladesh.
