Dermacol Logo PNG
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.
Dermacol began in 1958 in Prague with the Institute of Medical Cosmetics, which combined dermatology, corrective care, and aesthetic practice. One key specialist was Olga Knoblochová, who later helped shape 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 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, Věra Komárová and Vladimír Komár acquired the brand and led its transition into 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 brand opened its first flagship store 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. Visually, 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 brand because it uses its own letters. It emphasizes the Czech company’s main direction. As a base, it uses 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 in a simple monogram, with the letters’ convex parts superimposed. The right-side “D” points to the left-side “C,” making them reminiscent of emblems from many famous fashion houses. 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,” set in narrow lowercase letters, except for the first letter.
What is Dermacol?
Dermacol is a Czech company that produces decorative and care cosmetics. Olga Knoblochova founded it in 1966. Its name comes from two Latin words 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 small and barely noticeable because of the rounding. The emblem’s basic colors are pink, dark gray, and white.
