TheSalesforce.com logotype is based on a metaphor: the cloud symbolizes the cloud architecture on which theservice is built.
The old Salesforce logo consisted of the name of the company inside a cloud. The cloud looked almost real due to the 3D effect. Inside, the cloud was light blue and white. The middle was white, but the closer to the borders, the more intense the color of the background grew.
The initial logo for SalesForce was created in 1999 and stayed untouched for almost 15 years. It was a light blue and white cloud with a voluminous silver outline and a wordmark placed in the middle. The inscription was executed in two different colors and styles, with the “Sales” part is calm gray lowercase lettering written in a classy sharp serif typeface, and a “Force” part in the same font, but black color, and a stylized “F” with its vertical bar elongated, slanted and curved on both sides. The black shade of the second part of the logotype made it look more professional and confident, brilliantly emphasizing the “Force” side of the company’s name.
The “No Software” emblem was designed by CEO Marc Benioff as part of the company marketing campaign. Although it has never attained the status of the official logo, it did appear in advertising.
The typeface dominating the Salesforce logo looks very much likeAller Regular, while the letter “f” is taken from theItalicized version of the same font. The sans serif font family Allerwas developed by Dalton Maag.
Blue and white seem a perfect choice for the emblem, as these are the colors of the sky and the clouds.
