Xiaomi New Logo unveiled a corporate visual identity, which the company says is a fusion of oriental philosophy and the design concept of “Alive”. “This new branding aims to further strengthen Xiaomi’s foothold in the premium market while raising brand awareness with its audiences through its new dynamic logo,” said the company.
Xiaomi said that the new logo was designed by a world-renowned designer, professor of Musashino Art University, and the President of the Nippon Design Center (NDC), Kenya HARA. This has a softer, rounder contour on the corners of the previously squared logo, along with redesigned “MI” typography. It retains the orange color, which the company says is to convey the liveliness and youthfulness of Xiaomi. Black and silver will also be used as supplemental colors to accommodate high-end product line applications, added Xiaomi. It added that the new brand identity will propel Xiaomi forward in the upcoming decade.
