What is NCT?
NCT is a concept boy group from South Korea that plays K-pop and hip-hop music. These guys offer a blueprint for the music industry of the future. At the heart of the NCT invented by SM Entertainment Corporation is openness to all winds and markets, including an unlimited number of participants and their combinations.
The initials of the group’s name create a geometric pattern and one might not even instantly see letters. Instead, it looks a lot like a labyrinth. This is because the elongated letters are closely spaced and written in such a way that they look almost identical. With cuts being placed in different places to create different letters. This pattern shows that although there is a lot of freedom in NCT, everything is perfectly organized. It also stands for the perfection in music performed by the groups. This logo is a perfect combination of something stylish and futuristic.
The band chose a timeless, classic color for the base. Black is quite a universal color that creates a professional image. It can have both positive and negative symbolism, which reflects the openness of the group to all kinds of music. It is accompanied by white, which is the color of perfection and also a neutral color choice. For the initials themselves, they used a geometric font similar to Hauptbahnhof, Alt Ayame Long, or Severe font.
