The Micron logo is associated with the declared mission of the company that is to help the world make sense of data by improving the way of handling information. The solutions offered by the company enhance scientific breakthroughs and enhance communication around the world. The future of the company is built on continuous innovation.
The Micron logo, introduced in 2000 is quite concise and straightforward. It consists of the brand name “MICRON” written in block letters. The font of the wordmark resembles the commercial Cyclic Sans Heavy, although slightly extended horizontally. The capital letter “M” has its own particular design. It looks like a broad oscillating line with rounded soft turns. The letter is crossed by an ellipse inclined to the right. It consists of two arcs with sharp ends and looks like an orbit, in the centre of which is situated the letter “M”.
In 2024 the Micron logo was redrawn with a lot of style and attention. The new badge is a brilliant representation of the progressiveness and confidence of the company. The only element here is the stylized lowercase inscription, written in solid black bars against a plain white background. The typeface of the wordmark features softened angles and the elongated tails of the first and last characters, which are directed to the sides of the logotype, elongating it.
