What is GSK?
GSK is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, which was established in the United Kingdom in 2000. One of the top-10 companies in its segment, today GSK operates worldwide, providing people of different countries with high-quality medications and vaccines.
2000 – 2014
The original GSK logo used a similar orange emblem to the one utilized after 2014 (described in the next section). The only different was a differently applied lighting effect and an open hook on ‘g’. This version also had the full name of the brand written in grey right next to the main emblem.
2014 – 2022
The GSK logo is an orange tablet-shaped (or heart-shaped) emblem with the company name written in white Frutiger typerface. The combination of orange and white expresses the company’s striving to do good to its every customer and provide high quality products. Designed by Futurebrand, a prominent brand consultancy company, the GSK logo appears to be the most recognizable one in the industry.
2022 – Today
The redesign of 2022 has introduced a completely different badge for the British pharmaceutical giant. The new logo is composed of stylized uppercase lettering in a gradient orange color palette, with the bold and stable capital letters of the “GSK” wordmark having interesting softened elements in some of the corners. The connections between the bars look like they are being slightly twisted.
Symbol versions
While the primary GSK symbol featured above contains a gradient texture, there are also other acceptable variations. The company’s brand guidelines suggest three more versions:
- white letters in the orange holding shape without gradient
- orange letters in the white holding shape placed in a rectangular box
- white letters on the grey background.
