The Kommersant logo consists of the brand name in a serif font, accompanied by a separate graphic element — the slanted hard sign “ъ”, which can be used as a standalone symbol. This mark is often displayed within a circle or square and serves as a visual identifier for the brand. The design approach maintains the historical continuity of the name and enhances the publication’s recognizability. The logo appears in different variations, including the full text version and the “Ъ” symbol as a simplified alternative. The current visual version of the logo is actively used across the brand’s print and digital media.
Kommersant is one of Russia’s leading business publications, revived in 1989 by journalist Vladimir Yakovlev. Its first issue appeared in January 1990. Positioned as an independent business newspaper of a new format, it quickly gained significant influence in the media landscape. It has been published daily since 1992. Over time, the brand’s ownership included Boris Berezovsky and Badri Patarkatsishvili. Today, Kommersant is part of the media-holding led by Alisher Usmanov and operated through Kommersant-Holding. The publishing house issues the newspaper bearing its name, as well as magazines and digital editions, covering business, political, economic, and international affairs. Its headquarters is located in Moscow, and its network of journalists spans regions across Russia and beyond.
