2010 – 2019
The Buffer brand logotype depicts an emblem and an inscription put on the right side from it. The emblem has a rhomb, placed above two triangular lines. They’re drawn in such a way so they look like three rhombs, two of which are partially blocked. The inscription is the app name, which has a bold sans serif typeface with lowercase letters. The letters themselves have very small gaps in between.
2019 – Today
The redesign of 2019 has kept the recognizability and concept of the Buffer logo but made all elements look more stable and strong. The emblem got slightly larger, matching the height of the first capital letter of the rewritten wordmark. The lettering uses a similar typeface now but has the double “F” sharing one horizontal bar. As for the color palette, it was also changed, and from dark blue it turned to plain black.
Font and color
The Buffer’s brand identity doesn’t have a determined color palette for the logo. Due to the simplicity of the composition in the Buffer logo, it can be drawn in various styles. You can find the pictures with the elements colored white, dark blue or even gradient black and gray. The background can also change its shades according to the situation and color of the inscription.
