The logo of Kemppi, a manufacturer of arc welding equipment and solutions, consists of a round orange symbol and the brand name. Inside the circle is an open black outline forming a shape that resembles a circular sector with a curved upper edge and a downward-pointing angle. The right side of the outline is separated from the upper curve by a small gap. The brand name appears on the right in large, bold, uppercase sans-serif letters. On a light background, the lettering is black, while on a dark background it is white, with the orange-and-black symbol remaining unchanged. The name Kemppi comes from the surname of the founding family. In 2021, the company introduced the slogan “Designed for welders,” emphasizing that its products are developed around the needs of welders.
