Mastercard Color Story

Mastercard's two interlocking circles — red and orange — overlap to create a warm red at their intersection, producing one of the most elegant brand mark concepts in finance. The 2016 redesign by Pentagram simplified the logo, removed the wordmark from most applications, and made the interlocking circles confident enough to stand alone. Red signals urgency and energy while orange conveys optimism and warmth — together they suggest a global network that moves money with positive velocity.
