The logotype of the Taiwanese networking equipment manufacturer D-Link is based on the brand’s name given in an unusual custom script.
Meaning and History logo
The earliest logotypes didn’t contain the current name – hardly a surprise, taking into consideration that the D-Link Corporation was originally called Datex Systems Inc. and got its current name only in 1992.
Symbol
Probably the most distinctive design element of the logo is the letter “D,” which has a rather unusual shape. It can be used on itself as an icon. In addition to the wordmark, the logotype includes the motto “Building Networks for People.”
Colors
The primary color is teal (hex: #0087A9, PMS: 3145 C). The list of additional colors that can be used on the logo includes white for the background, black (in case of the black-and-white palette), and grey (hex: #CCCCCC).
Font
The unusual custom typography featured on the D-Link logo is its highlight. The company recommends using the Myriad font family for its designed print communications.
