The eBay logo features the company’s name in lowercase, using its customized font. Each letter has its own color: e — red, b — blue, a — yellow, y — green. The letters are arranged in a single line and visually touch one another. This version of the logo has been used since 2012, replacing a more chaotic, overlapping design in use since the company’s founding. The name “eBay” originates from “Echo Bay Technology Group,” the consulting firm of founder Pierre Omidyar. When the domain echobay.com was already taken, he shortened it to ebay.com—this became the brand’s name.
