Meaning and history
The beginning of the company takes place in 1974 when Terry Gou founded Hon-Hai Plastics Corporation in Taiwan with his brother. The real breakthrough for the brand came in 1980. At this time, it received a major customer in the form of Atari, which placed an order for connectors. Then, Gou went to the USA. Thanks to his perseverance, he returned to Taiwan with a large list of clients. In 1988, the company opened its first location in China. The company was later renamed Hon Hai Industrial Corporation and is better known by its trading name Foxconn.
1999 – Today
The Foxconn logo is a bold and distinct wordmark, executed in a custom typeface, which is close to the well-known Gunship serif sans font.
The rounded external angles of the letters are accompanied by the sharp square forms of the inside, which makes the logo look modern, strong and unique.
The color palette is simple yet effective — blue lettering on a white background is a good choice for any technological company, as it symbolizes trust, confidence and reliability of the brand.
Hon Hai Technology Group Logo
The Foxconn logo features a striking red “H” on the left, symbolizing the company’s Hon Hai Technology Group roots, paired with the bold blue “FOXCONN” text that exudes modernity and strength. To its right, elegant black Chinese characters represent the brand’s cultural heritage and global reach under its Chinese corporate identity. The design’s vibrant color contrast and balanced composition reflect Foxconn’s innovative spirit and leadership in electronics manufacturing.
