What is Garmin?
Garmin is an American company and a leader in GPS technology. It produces marine, aviation, and consumer devices that use satellite radio navigation systems. Among its products are avionics for helicopters and light aircraft, sonars for boating and fishing, fitness trackers for athletes, and navigators for cars and bicycles.
1989 – 2006
It is a simple and elegant logo. It was named after the company’s founders – Gary Burrell and Min Kao (Gar + Min). It consists of slightly beveled capital letters. All lines are thickened. There is a miniature graphic sign in front of the word – a globe made of translucent stripes. The base palette is black on white.
2006 – today
In 2006, the logo became more minimalistic. The letters are made thinner and smoother, which gave it transparency – the so-called transparency, the trend towards which prevailed in all areas.
A modern logo consists of two parts: verbal and graphic. The title is in capital letters, in simple sans serif type. Unlike the opening version, the symbols are thin, with an emphasis on lightness.
There is also a geometric sign – a triangle, which focuses on innovation, dynamics, reliability, and professionalism as conceived by the developers. The primary color is black; the secondary color is light blue to make the graphic stand out as clearly as possible.
Font and Colors
For the Garmin brand logo, the developers used a custom cut font with extended letters. It shows a similarity with several types of typefaces at once. In particular, with Praktika from the Bold Extended group and FM Bolyar. In some lines and shapes, it is close to Media Gothic by Studio Media, Frutiger Bold (typographer Adrian Frutiger), and Rleud Extended by Stawix. The palette of the logo is less complex and consists of only two colors – black and blue.
