The Turkish bank Ziraat Bankasi has gone through a string of logo modifications since it was founded in 1863.
Meaning and history
The Ziraat Bankasi logo can be broken down into two parts. To the left, there is a symbol in red. It is an abstract design somewhat reminiscent of a wheatear.
Next to it, the name of the company can be seen. While the word “Zirat” is bolder than “Bankasi,” they are equal in height.
Font
Apart from the weight, the types used for the two words have other differences (note the shape of the “i” and the “a’s,” for instance). However, the overall style of the Ziraat Bankasi logo is pretty consistent – the two words do not seem to fall out of the whole design.
