The DKB logo, used by the German bank Deutsche Kreditbank, consists of large DKB lettering and the slogan “Das kann Bank” positioned below it. All elements are rendered in a vivid blue, while an all-white version is used on dark backgrounds. The abbreviation DKB comes from the name Deutsche Kreditbank. The current visual identity was introduced in January 2016, when the bank updated its logo and adopted the slogan “Das kann Bank”. Before that, the full name Deutsche Kreditbank AG was displayed beneath the DKB lettering. The current combination of DKB and “Das kann Bank” continues to be used by the bank across digital and print materials.
