1983 — 1990
The first Hynix logo depicted the company’s Korean name written in blue letters. On their right was a small emblem – a green triangle, and the same orange one behind it.
1990 — 2001
In the 1990 design, the Korean name was written in black under their Latin name (then, ‘Hyunday’). The latter had simplistic, black and linear letters written in a sans-serif font. The ‘H’ there was blue, had two white-and-blue circles in front of its bars and one blue circle to its left. The Korean name was written under the word’s center.
2001 — 2012
The palette of the old logo was very close to the current one. The type was also lowercase. Due to this, the old logo was somewhat similar to the current one in its overall style.
Yet, the very shape of the glyphs was different. It was more unique, yet not as legible as in the current logo. Also, the previous design, in fact, looked more modern due to its minimalism.
2012 — Today
The Hynix logo is playful and confident, it is highly recognizable and unique, as well as the brand’s products.
