The company’s developments will eliminate any skin problems. The emblem demonstrates how drugs literally go inside the problem and deprive it of its root. The Dermacol logo reflects professionalism and a scientific approach to problem-solving.
The history of Dermacol began in 1958 in Prague with the Institute of Medical Cosmetics, where dermatology, corrective care, and aesthetic practice were combined. One of the key specialists was Olga Knoblochová, later associated with the brand’s core development.
In 1965, a clinical case involving a child with a large facial nevus prompted the search for a high-coverage product that would remain stable in moisture and allow the skin to function normally. Knoblochová partnered with engineers from Barrandov Studios, whose makeup labs specialized in long-lasting film cosmetics.
After about a year of testing, Dermacol Make-up Cover was created in 1966. It launched in ten shades and combined strong coverage with water resistance and low sensory weight on the skin. The name is derived from “derma” and “color” and has entered common local usage.
In 1967, the product was demonstrated at a dermatology congress, showing full coverage of visible skin conditions. In 1969, Hollywood studios acquired a license, and the formula entered the world of professional film makeup.
In the early 1970s, the range expanded to include Lady Cream and Princess Cream in 1970, and compact eyeshadows in 1972, taking the brand beyond corrective cosmetics.
In 1991, Dermacol separated from Barrandov Studios, while production remained there until 2002. In 1992, the brand was acquired by Věra Komárová and Vladimír Komár, who led its transition to an independent company.
From 1996, Dermacol entered Middle Eastern markets. In 2006, production moved to Brno. From 2010, expansion continued in Asia, including South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, and China, where demand for high-pigment products supported growth.
By the 2010s, the brand competed with international names such as MAC and Estée Lauder in accessible price segments. In 2014, the first flagship store opened in Prague, followed by entry into the US market in 2016.
Meaning and History
The brand’s products are original, but its logo is not. In its appearance, it echoes the emblems of many fashion brands. The brand name resembles the symbols of Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Chanel, and Escada. On the other hand, it can rightfully be considered an individual because it is composed of its letters. And it emphasizes the Czech company’s main direction. As a base, she used the Latin term “derma + color,” i.e., “skin + color.” The result is Dermacol.
The logo contains the capital letters “D” and “C.” They are intertwined, decorated in the form of a simple monogram, in which the convex parts of the letters are superimposed on each other. The right-side “D” points to the left fragment “C,” making them very reminiscent of many famous fashion houses’ emblems. The monogram background is a pink semicircle with a wavy bottom, depicting the sun rising over the sea. On the left is the inscription “Dermacol,” executed in narrow letters in lower case, except for the first.
What is Dermacol?
Dermacol is a Czech company that produces decorative and care cosmetics. It was founded in 1966 by Olga Knoblochova. Its name is derived from two Latin words that are directly related to makeup: “derma” (skin) and “color” (color).
Font and Colors
For both the abbreviated and the full brand name, the designers used a serif typeface. In the monogram “DC,” they are large and clearly visible, whereas in the word “Dermacol,” they are miniature and barely noticeable due to the rounding. The emblem’s basic colors are pink, dark gray, and white.
