Meaning and history
The Blender logo has many versions of its meaning. Being bright and recognizable, it looks different for all the people who look at it. The logo is composed of an emblem and a wordmark on its right.
The Blender nameplate in all the lowercase lettering is executed in a traditional sans-serif typeface, where the letters are slightly extended and “b” and “d” have their upper parts cut diagonally, while “n” and “r” top bars are stretched.
The Blender emblem is the most mysterious element of the brand’s visual identity. It is an orange circle with 3 lines coming out of it and a solid blue dot in the middle. And there are several versions of its meaning.
Version number one says it is a hand with three fingers up and fourth and fifth fingers making a circle, like an “OK” hand sign.
The second version says it is an eye, which represents the software’s purpose — visualization.
The third version combines both — it is an eye in hand, which is a popular cultural symbol, representing both observation (an eye) and action (a hand).
The fourth version of the Blender logo says that its an image of a blender in action from the top-view. You blend things into the program and get the final amazing result.
Whatever the real meaning of the Blender logo is, it looks bright and contemporary and makes people use all their creativity and imagination to solve its mystery.
