The CHASE Logo, familiarity ? it’s a NAZI swastika, familiarity to fascist corporate bankster owners, its is left hand, inverted and denotes material gain via left-handed motives. IF it were turning in the opposite direction it would denote good luck and good fortune. Trust? About as comfortably as I can spit a rat! But hey, This is my option, I could be right.

Does anyone know the story behind the BOA change from a silver to red background? The epilepsy-inducing blue on red is an eye-shocking, loss-of-class change to me and I am wondering what drove the decision to make the change. Did some asthetically challenged exec from on high mandate the change? Am I totally off here?

it has been said that the colors red, yellow and blue stimulate hunger… hence most of the well known logos in the world such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Coca-cola,etc. have chosen such colors. Since most things in life have double meaning, im guessing that blue (as mentioned before) is a sign of security as is red for strength n power. But what i find is interesting is that not only do colors make a huge impact, the use of sans serifs somehow relate batter with banks than serifs!

Hey Fezwitch,

I am not sure, it is a bit of a difficult one because its sans-serif and then the ‘a’ has a serif on it. If you are just looking to use a similar font I’d recommend trying Fedra Sans or Gills Sans. The ‘t’ in Gills Sans is a little different, but I think either of these fonts will do the job for you.

I’d suggest visiting http://www.whatthefont.com and seeing if you can’t get a better suggestion for that font.

Thanks!

Good evening. Never let the demands of tomorrow interfere with the pleasures and excitement of today.
I am from Leone and know bad English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “This option is not available on all.”

Thank you very much :). Thais.

I would have liked to see many more bank logos, how about Financial institutions??? I believe there is a lot of meaning behind the likes of SAXO, Deutsche Bank, Investec, Merril Lynch, etc…

And the discussion continues! This appeared in Money today. I agree with some ratings (Citi), disagree with others (Wells Fargo, though I’d modify their colors). Not enough logos included. Discuss…
