The old Meizu logo was also blue over the white background. The overall style of the letters was pretty much the same. And yet, there was also an unusual approach used in this wordmark: each of the following letters was lighter than its predecessor.
Thus, the “m” was the heaviest one, the “e” and “i” were lighter than the “m,” yet bolder than the “z” and “u,” and so on.
