New Opera Logo

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 9:11:20 AM

Last Friday we updated the Opera corporate logo. Our main goal is to present a consistent brand.

This is part of an ongoing design-profile update process. You may still occasionally see the old logo a few place, so if you come across the old Opera logo, it would be great if you let the Web masters know there's a new Opera logo and ask them kindly to follow our guidelines.

Thanks!

Ok, I'll let them know to update this one too.

This logo was done by Truls Haugland.

This was clearly reported by Hicksdesign first. The new log is definitely a great design, but in my opinion its only marginally better than the previous design. Seriously it could have really wow'ed me like many Firefox designs do...but it took a slow design style and decided to give me the expected.

In some way everyone on earth except me seems to have missed the first introduction...thanks Twitter!

I'm personally not a fan of the Firefox logo and can't help but think that, as with the Google logo, it's only popular because of the success of the product.

Nice logo this time.

New logo for new spirit

Dan Alexandrudantesoft # Wednesday, October 28, 2009 11:24:31 AM

I think it's time for beta2

The TM symbol always needs to accombany the logo.

The green-shirt image example on page 6 looks un-acceptable to me.

On your press page, in the "Corporate Identity" section, is there a reason behind providing the company logo in a 3rd party proprietary format (pdf) only and not in a format that can actually be opened BY Opera itself (svg)? (as the browser logo is)

Caroloperainchicago # Wednesday, October 28, 2009 2:45:20 PM

very nice and the colors The Ohio State Buckeyes! Red and Grey

It'll be my pleasure to alert them!

Actually, PDF is an open standard. And universally used. And why would they serve the press with a format they most likely wouldn't know how to use (SVG)?

Can you do a search on the site for images that link to the old url for the older images

Super, jestem ciekaw jak zrobiony jest ten cień pod "O".

Cool, I wonder how this is done under the shadow of the "O".

Wow. When did that happen? (July '08) That's crazy, why on earth did anyone feel the need to standardise that?

Originally posted by Purdi:

I wasn't suggesting removing pdf. As for "not knowing how to use SVG", they could try opening it in the software by the very company they're reviewing. I would have imagined Opera would benefit from promoting a feature of its own software to the press.

As for spotting the old logo, a few of these sites are long defunct so there might not be much point in updating them, but here's some pages still flying the older flag:

http://distribute.opera.com/distribution/
http://composer.opera.com/composer6/
http://portal.opera.com/termsofservice/ (at the bottom)
http://portal.opera.com/portal/faq/ (at the bottom)
http://portal.opera.com/accounts/signup/ (at the bottom)
http://unite.opera.com/
http://snapshot.opera.com/
http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.10/en/
http://oxine.opera.com/documentation/
http://xmlstore.labs.opera.com/ (this ones in black)
http://team.opera.com/snapshot/crashlogs/

Also, as a "consistent brand" is now the priority, does OperaNet need a new one: http://irc.opera.com/ ?

I enjoyed the "guidelines" file. It seems clear, reasonable, and well thought out. It retains enough of the old to satisfy me while still looking fresh. If the lovely Opera red color was to ever be changed significantly, I'd be sad.
