1996 – 2017

The company logo consists of a visual sign and an inscription.

The name Novartis is a union of two Latin terms: novae (new) and artes (art). It implies a creative approach to creating medicines—using new developments and research results. The creation of tandems and combinations reveals the potential and possibilities of substances.

The name underlines the fact that the company has several research institutes. An important area of research is genetic engineering. This makes it possible to create state-of-the-art drugs that act very selectively.

The large letters show the company’s scale, which owns 67 plants in different countries. It is considered one of the largest in the world by market capitalization (it ranks 51st).

The sign in front of the inscription is schematic and has several meanings.

• Violin key. The key is a logical addition, given the connection between the corporation’s name and art. The red and yellow coloring of the image speaks of research and innovation.
• Flask. The chemical toolkit is a reference to the laboratories where new medicines are developed.
• Flame. Symbolizes the burning heart and the desire for development and creation. Fire supports life, just as Novartis works to preserve life on Earth.
• Harp. A musical instrument is also consonant with the name of the corporation. It allows you to create a melody with multiple strings, just as the company creates medicines from various substances.

The widely spaced letters show the coverage of many areas of work.

2017 – today

The only changes made in 2017 were in the color scheme, which became lighter. The shades show the corporation’s commitment to new developments and research activities that make people’s lives easier. It is allocated about 9 billion dollars a year.

The predominance of blue is a symbol of concern for the environment and the implementation of environmental programs.

The letters of the name have increased and are closer to each other. The composition speaks of a reduction in the lines of work. The concern sold its Gerber and Nutrition baby food assets and said goodbye to its veterinary and vaccine divisions. It separated the production of over-the-counter drugs into a separate company. He shut down antiviral and antibacterial research. And concentrated on just three areas.
