Meaning and History
The publication’s logo has been the same since its release. It reminds of the emblem of the main competitor, which the newspaper competed with – Der Spiegel and the British tabloid that the Bild’s creator looked up to – Daily Mirror. The choice of red-white shades and large sizes foretold the tabloid’s development and popularity. Giant letters ingrained in readers’ minds the association with success and leadership. The word emblem without pictures perfectly matched the print newspaper.
