New logo: Asian Paints


Asian Paints is an Indian chemical company that manufactures, well, paint. Last week, on September 27, it revealed a new logo, that apparently represents "a more meaningful and personalized engagement with the increasing number of interior décor consumers in the home, retail and commercial segments across India". It will be rolled out to thousands of stores over time.

The wordmark from the previous logo is kept intact, but has been re-coloured and is accompanied by a gradienty ribbon.

New logo: Beckers


Beckers is a Swedish paint manufacturer, tracing its roots back to 1865, when a German opened a paint shop in Stockholm. For several decades, it has used a rainbow as its logo. At the beginning of April it was given a careful refresh. One colour (orange) has been removed, and the ones that remain are livelier. The name has been put below the rainbow, and the outlines have been removed.

The new logo was reportedly created by Swedish design agency BVD. Beckers claims the previous logo hadn't changed since 1967.

New logo: Dulux, Let's Colour

Several paint brands belonging to the Dutch chemical company AkzoNobel have been given a new common visual identity, created by Design Bridge.

Overall it is about a dozen different brand names that are getting a new look, the most prominent being Dulux, which is used in many Anglo-Saxon, Asian and European markets. Other affected brand names include Flexa in the Netherlands, Levis in Belgium, Sadolin in Denmark, Bruguer in Spain, Marshall in Turkey, Vivechrom in Greece, Alba in Argentine, Coral in Brazil and Inca in Uruguay.

Dulux logo used in the UK.

Having previously used different brand identities in different markets, the names are now joined under the "Let's Colour" brand platform. The phrase acts both as a strapline and a generic designation for the product category. At the center of the new design is the "Flourish logo", a lively colour wave extending from the hand of a white figure, epitomizing the "Let's Colour" spirit.

The new look has been in use for some months; it was launched in India in mid-August. The rebrand has gotten additional attention this week, as AkzoNobel has dubbed October 10-14 "Let's Colour Week" and the new design is launching into Western markets. Other regions are scheduled to follow during the year.
