Ever since the release of Creative Cloud, Adobe has been slowly tweaking its “brand identity” by releasing new logos with rounded corners. Today, they’re taking that a big step forward by redesigning all of its App logos, the Creative Cloud logo, and even the Adobe logo itself.
In a blog post announcing the changes, Adobe’s Sonja Hernandez explains that these changes will “ensure our portfolio continues to be easy for our customers to navigate and understand, as well as maintain a fresh look and feel.”
Three “major” updates are being debuted as illustrated below;
First, the Adobe Logo is going single color, all-red, and that particular color red has been updated “to be warmer and more contemporary.” Secondly, the Creative Cloud logo is no longer white on red. Instead, the background is a multi-colored rainbow that includes the new Adobe logo red, as well as the various blues and purples of Adobe’s other products like Premiere and Photoshop and finally, each App logo, starting with Photoshop, is receiving a more significant redesign. All logo corners will be rounded, the bright colored border around each logo is being removed, 3-letter mnemonics are being added to some products (Photoshop Camera -> PsC), and the logo colors are being updated to “organize products into categories such as Video & Motion or Photography.”
Adobe has a vast ecological system of apps and it is the hope that these changes would make the system easier to navigate, and more coherent across various operating systems.
