What is Signal?
Signal is an instant messaging service, released in 2014. It’s a comfortable, light and encryption-protected platform that ensures privacy and safety of your communications.
2015 – 2020
The original Signal logo, designed in 2015, stayed with Messenger for the first five years and set the basic design, which will be used for future refinements. It was a graphical icon with a white dialogue bubble drawn on a solid blue square and outlined in a dotted white line, which was very thin and only slightly visible. No lettering was present on the first Signal badge.
2020 – 2024
The 2020 emblem uses a text cloud as a centerpiece. It’s very round and chubby, with a little tail in the bottom left corner. Along its edges, there is an outline of another cloud just like itself, but made in dash lines. Normally, all of these elements are white and placed onto the bright blue background, but that can vary.
2024 – Today
After the redesign of 2024, the Signal logo has kept its composition and style, yet switched the color palette, and now both the graphical emblem with an outlined dialogue bubble and the modest title case wordmark in a traditional sans serif typeface are drawn in one shade — intense electric-blue, which creates a bright and strong contrast with the simple white background.
