Meaning and history
The current logo was made in December 2017. It consists of the word “Pay” followed by a capital “U”. All the letters of the wordmark are made in pear green tone, lighter at the upper ends of the letters and darker at their bottom. The wordmark is placed against a background of a chequered rectangle in light blue and white. At the right upper end of the capital “U”, there are three square blocks of the same pear green colour giving the impression of upward motion like a puff of smoke.
The logo has other versions. One is the wordmark written in white colour on a green rectangle. Another variant is made against a white background while the word “pay” is in dark blue and the capital “U” in light blue. As a modification of this last one can be seen the same logo with a curved arrow starting between the first two letters, passing under the inscription and pointing onto the capital “U”.
The colour palette of the logo includes bear green tone used for the letter of the wordmark, white and sometimes black for the background, dark and light blue in an alternative version of the logo. The wordmark is written in the commercial font AmpleSoftMedium.
