The emblem conveys the outstanding speed of food preparation and delivery. From the Zomato logo, the steam of hot, freshly removed dishes rises from the stove. The symbols show the work’s clarity and coherence, which inspires customers’ trust.

Meaning and History

The key objective of this service is to help the population get the food they want. Therefore, the site leveraged internet technology, linking those who cook with those who eat. That is, she quickly and confidently declared her presence around the world, highlighting herself with a catchy and bright logo.

According to company representatives, their symbol has progressed along with them. It has six variants of emblems, which differ in fonts, graphics, and backgrounds. However, they are not just a demonstration of the identity of the service. It is also a way of expressing it emotionally in different situations: an early daily breakfast, a Sunday brunch, or a festive family dinner. Taken together, all signs convey the company’s love for food and a constant obsession with it.

What is Zomato?

Zomato is a food delivery service and online restaurant menu, aggregator. It appeared in India in 2008 as a home project and has gradually grown into an international company.

2008 – 2010

Immediately after opening his company, entrepreneur Deepinder Goyal named it FoodieBay. It was this double phrase that became the basis for the logo. And to emphasize the brand’s food orientation, the owner decided to use images of various products. Thus, a harmonious combination of drawing and text appeared. For example, one “O” looked like a donut covered with caramel; the second one looked like a pizza.

The letter “I” was depicted as a sausage stick with a cut at the top. “B” looked like a fried egg, and “Y” got the shape of a meat brisket. In the gaps, “E” (at the central crossbar) cutlery was visible: a fork and a spoon. “A” was like an open furnace with a burning crucible, and “F” contained a pointer. The color spectrum of the emblem was bright: it consisted of red and yellow. At the same time, the symbols were bubble-inflated, as if filled with air. There was a gray vertical inscription on the right – the domain on which the site was located.

2010 – 2012

After the rebranding, a new company name appeared in the logo – Zomato typed in FF Cocon. It was decorated in a completely different style, not the same as before. The inscription consisted of lowercase characters with smooth transitions and side cuts. So, “a” was missing the lower right part (tail), and “t” was missing the upper left half (crossbar segment). In front of the text was a large red tomato with a green mini-leaf and zigzag stripes that looked like the first letter of the service’s name.

2012 – 2014

Modernizing the visual identity brought a discreet logo. Although it consisted of the same type of font, it had a different arrangement of inscriptions. Designers replaced the tomato in front of the name with the capital letter “Z.” It was wide, white, with smooth curves and a miniature point at the bottom. Nearby was the full name of the food ordering and delivery service. It was also painted white, but it was placed not horizontally but vertically and took the place of the “.com” domain. A black square was used as a background.

2014 – 2015

2014 brought a simplification of the logo and a change in the font. The result of design efforts was an inscription with grotesque letters in lower case (Gotham typeface). The developers of the Zomato emblem depicted a heart and a fork as if combining two images that personify the love of food. The drawing was in red, and the text in black.

2015 – 2016

Keeping the same font, the designers replaced the heart pierced with a fork with a red square and a white spoon, which seemed more humane. The geometric figure had all the corners rounded.

2016 – 2018

After the redesign, a new concept for the Zomato logo appeared: a red square with a white inscription inside. Unlike the emblem of 2012-2014, the title was miniature and horizontal. However, the font remained the same – Gotham with lowercase characters.

2018 – today

The international online menu aggregator envisions the logo to be clear, simple, and legible. Another criterion they adhere to is the integrity of the form. Therefore, management has implemented two modifications representing the branding – text within a simple geometric shape and a separate wordmark.

As a result, the modern emblem was simplified to the maximum: only the background in the form of a red square and the food delivery service’s name remained in it. The ratio of graphics to text is balanced and evenly distributed. The square has rounded corners, and the word “zomato” is made in the same soft style – with smooth transitions, without sharp lines.

The letters are closely spaced to each other – as much as the square space allows. Moreover, the emblem is used in two mirror-opposite forms: a red inscription on a white backing and a white one on a red one. A catchy visual impact is provided in both cases.

The single word mark is considered the primary emblem. It applies to all assets and advertisements, including print, virtual and offline media. The box is used to identify the website and food ordering points.

Font and Colors

The Zomato logo uses a typeface that simplifies the sign’s perception by residents of any country in the world. The title is in clean and proportional Sans Serif typeface Metropolis Regular. The variant with bold and slightly slanted letters was used, which well complements the foodservice’s design. Small italics create a welcoming atmosphere.

The company has four corporate colors, two of which are present in the logo. These are Red Cranberry (# E237440) and White Feta (#FFFFFF). Moreover, in the symbols, the red color has a gradient: the upper part is made light, and then it gradually increases; therefore, at the bottom, it turns into a rich dark shade.
