Meaning and history
The main logotype of the Gainward brand, used from 2005 until now, is concise and straightforward. It includes an emblem consisting of a black circle with a white ring around it and a white block letter “G” in the centre. To the right of the emblem is situated the name of the brand starting with a capital letter, “Gainward”. The colour of the wordmark is steel grey with a 3D look. The outlines of the letters are very close to the commercial font BOOM with some changes introduced to its graphics. Thus, there are gaps in the crossbars of the “A” letters and the head of the letter “R” is bisected so that its bowl is wide open at the bottom. The letters of the wordmark are lower in size in the centre of the word and higher on its both ends. Under the brand name, the logo has an inscription “beyond your senses” made in a much smaller size.
In addition to the main emblem, Gainward has special logos designed for several special series of its products. There are four major of them. The Ghost series has a logo depicting the head of a sombre ghost made up of a white shadowy figure of a skull against a grey background in the form of a hood. The Pegasus series has the image of a white rearing winged horse. The phoenix series is marked by the white image of a phoenix bird with raised wings. And the logo of the Phantom series is a black mask with one white eye and one light blue.
