1976 – 2011
The early version of the KKR logo stayed unchanged until 2011. The logo was set in a light-gray and white color palette, with the stylized name of the company written in the uppercase of a sharp and elegant sans-serif typeface, where the glyphs had their parts placed at a large distance from each other. The lettering was enclosed between two horizontal lines, coming out of the first “K” and the “R”.
2011 – Today
The redesign of 2011 has brought more color to the simple and strict KKR badge, drawing the letters in the deep shade of purple, a color of wisdom and creativity. The typeface was changed to a more traditional one, with less space inside the letters, and the framing was gone, so now the badge features three purple capitals in a modern sans-serif, placed against a white background. Nothing else.
Font and color
The clean medium-weight lettering from the primary KKR badge is set in the uppercase of a modern and distinctive sans-serif typeface, which looks pretty close to such famous fonts as ITC Blair Pro Medium and Rexton Light, with the straight lines and cuts of the bars in the characters.
As for the color palette of the KKR visual identity, it is based on an elegant and calming shade of purple, a very Royal and chic color, which evokes a sense of precision, excellence, and professionalism, making the simple logo timeless and sophisticated.
