1998 – 2017
The first logo was presented in 1998 and was very colorful and bright. The business name along with the slogan “Applying Thought” were accompanied by a sunflower. The flower was quite realistic, but it had a rainbow coloring going diagonally. The name was done in large, all uppercase letters that featured serifs and rounded corners. The slogan was written on the second line using simpler lettering without serifs. The whole emblem was framed by a thin round blue frame. The black color was used for the wordmark to balance out the colorful image above it.
2017 – Today
The logo acquired a more modern, fresh, and clean look but kept the colorful appearance and round elements of the original logo. Many, though, believe it lost its uniqueness. The name of the company, which was done using a different font, was decorated by four circles enclosing it on the right. The circles got bigger as they were going outwards. Each circle was made up of multiple circles that were done in different colors and created a rainbow gradient. The rainbow circles also got smaller as they got closer to the wordmark. Such an approach created a feeling of growth and infinite possibilities as well as an impression that the positivity of Wipro was spreading.
Font and Color
Both logos used by the Wipro company feature a rainbow color palette. Besides evoking positive emotions, the usage of multiple colors can represent the variety of services and products the company is famous for. Initially, a serif font with rounded elements and all uppercase letters in black were used for the name. The slogan, which was seen only in the original version, was done using a cursive font with thin lines and only the first letters being capitalized. The second version used a bolder sans-serif Arial font and all lowercase letters.
