Taobao online marketplace logo is presented as a typographic wordmark and does not include a separate graphic symbol. The mark is based on large orange Chinese characters “淘宝”, executed in a calligraphic style with variable stroke thickness and free, expressive line forms. Below the characters, the English-language name “Taobao” or “Taobao.com” is placed, set in a sans-serif typeface. Orange is the primary brand color and is used consistently across all logo versions. The composition is used both in a version with Chinese characters only and in a combined version with the English-language name.
