T-Mobile Logo PNG
Sleek and simple, the T-Mobile logo manages to stay recognizable, and it also gives a hint as to what field the company specializes in.
Meaning and history
1994 — 2001
The predecessor of T-Mobile US is the VoiceStream Wireless PCS established in 1994. Its logo featured the lettering “VoiceStream” in dark blue with three red waves above and the writing “wireless” below.
2001 — 2020
The very first logo featuring the current name of the company was a wordmark. It was a modern, tech-looking logo. Its only similarity to the previous versions is the magenta color for the letter “T”.
In this version, a sleek serif typeface is used, where only two letters are capitalized. The letter “T” is bold, while all the other characters are standard.
What makes the logo recognizable? We cannot but mention those simple grey squares: one from either side of the wordmark plus three between the “T” and “Mobile”. The squares emphasize the impression that all the elements of the logo are interconnected and in a way introduce the idea that the company has to do with telecommunications.
2020 — Today
The design grew simpler and better legible. The number of squares was reduced (there are now two of them). The wordmark is now colored magenta.
Audio symbol
T-Mobile is one of the companies having not only a graphic logo, but also an audio one. It consists of only five notes, yet is truly recognizable. Its author is Lance Massey, who created it in 1999 for the song promoting DT’s Tour de France bicycle team.
Font
The T-Mobile logo sports a custom typeface created by URW++ for Deutsche Telekom. There are six fonts in the family, all of which are used by the company for varying marketing purposes.
Color
The characteristic magenta color looks not excessively bright, when paired with the calm, light shade of grey.
