The ICBC logo of China’s largest commercial bank is designed as a combined mark consisting of a textual name and a graphic emblem. The text element is the abbreviation ICBC, set in a sans-serif Latin typeface and used in black or white depending on the background. The graphic part of the logo is a round red emblem with a symmetrical symbol placed inside. The internal symbol is formed from geometric elements with right angles and creates a stylized image of the Chinese character “工” (gong), associated with the concept of labor and industry. The mark is built on strict vertical and horizontal symmetry. The emblem is used both together with the ICBC wordmark and independently as a shortened corporate symbol of the bank.
