1990 – 1990s
Their first logotype, used before getting any fame, was the nameplate, written in a black font with prominent serifs. The ‘Asia’ word was uppercase, as well as the first ‘t’ letter. Above it, there are multiple waves drawn in semicircle, getting larger from the lowest wave to the top one. The starting point for all waves was a small empty dot. The parts of waves, which were located above this dot, were colored bolder.
1990s – 2004
The redesign brought waves, which were colored yellow. Below, they wrote the red nameplate. Its ‘telecom’ portion was underscored, while the uppercase ‘Asia’ part made an optical illusion with its letters, getting larger from the first to the last one. The word looked like it’s inclined a bit.
2004 – today
After the redesign, they wrote just the name without any other features or background.
Font
This text caption was completely lowercase, it had a sans-serif typeface with minuscule gaps in between, and most letters (‘t’, ‘r’, and ‘u’) had rounded corners at their bars.
Color
This nameplate was painted red, which highlighted it on almost every background, and made it eye-catching.
