The traditional Helvetica typeface of the all-caps lettering is balanced by reversed letters “C” and “N”, and “A” without its horizontal bar. It makes the logo unique and recognizable, celebrating the young and passionate spirit on the quartet.
The Blackpink band chose its name because the pink color is a commonly known representation of femininity, and the black is strong and masculine, so the group wanted to show, that they are not only beautiful ladies, but also strong and talented individuals.

The fonts, which are pretty similar to the band’s logo are Draft B Extra Bold and Enamelplate B, but it looks unique and memorable due to some extra details. The horizontal bar of the letter “A” is to move, which adds sharpness and makes the whole logo more angular, and the mirrored “C” and “N” add charm and playfulness.
The band’s official color palette is based on the shades, which compose its name — black and pink. The minimalist logo is available in three different color combinations — monochrome, light pink on white, and pink and black.
When executed in monochrome, it evokes a sense of seriousness, stability, and professionalism, and when the light pink color appears on the emblem, it adds tenderness and femininity, along with elegance and chic.
