Baldinini Logo PNG
Baldinini is an Italian designer of footwear, founded in 1910. They mostly produce luxury shoes, although it’s all they make. There are also less classy sneakers, bag products (including wallets and various other types), accessories, belts and even outerwear – all of more or less premium quality. But shoes are what they are mostly known for.
Meaning and History
While the company traces its roots to 1910, it was only in the 1970s that Gimmi Baldinini – a designer who gave this business its current name and whose descendants now rules it – actually joined it. In 2001, 50% of the brand was purchased by the group MBFG. The popularity of their shoes is still growing.
1910 – 1974
The original Baldinini logo, designed in 1910, featured an interesting grayish-brown color palette and was composed of just one element, the wordmark. It was written in the title case of a modern sans-serif typeface with thick bars and rounded contours of the characters, and a lot of air in between them. The capital “B” had a very interesting shape with the internal separation bar almost unnoticeable, which made it look like a wing of a butterfly.
1974 – 2022
The Baldinini logo has long been just their name, written in a bold sans-serif style.
The solid, bold letters of the Baldinini logo reflect the brand’s approach to the quality and style of its products, from shoes and bags to clothing and accessories. Although there’re no pictorial emblems on the logo, the letters possess unique style and character. They seem rather heavy, with overemphasized dots over the “i’s,” which help to create visual rhythm.
2022 – Today
The redesign of 2022 has introduced a super modern and sleek version of the Baldinini logo. It is still just the black mark on a plain white background, yet the chosen typeface has turned simple lettering into somewhat sharp and fancy. Now the logotype is executed in the uppercase of a modern sans-serif typeface with some of the bars slightly thicker than the others, and the horizontal bar of the “B” elongated to the left.
