The Yandex Maps logo features a stylized map pin—a red circle with a pointed tail—outlined in white for clarity across various map backgrounds. This minimal yet striking design emphasizes the service’s core function: helping users navigate and locate places. The icon is instantly recognizable and performs well in both mobile apps and web interfaces.
Yandex Maps is a Russian mapping and navigation service launched in 2004 by Yandex. It has become one of the most popular geo-services in Russia and neighboring countries. The platform offers detailed maps, satellite imagery, and route planning for cars, public transport, walking, and cycling. It also provides real-time traffic data, street-level panoramas, and business listings. Yandex Maps is continuously updated with user contributions, drone and vehicle data, integrates with other Yandex services, and is expanding its global reach.
