Mastercard Logo
The Mastercard logo pairs a red circle (#EB001B) with a yellow-orange circle (#F79E1B) that overlap to form a #FF5F00 band, set beside a lowercase wordmark in the company's custom geometric sans-serif. The 2019 redesign was so confident in the symbol that Mastercard began using the two circles with no name at all, joining a short list of brands recognised by shape alone.

Mastercard Logo History & Meaning
Mastercard's two interlocking circles date to 1968, when the company (then Master Charge) introduced the overlapping red and orange-yellow discs to suggest connection and cooperation. The symbol survived the 1979 rename to MasterCard and several refreshes, but in 2016 the brand worked with Pentagram designer Michael Bierut to strip the wordmark out of the discs and simplify them into flat, overlapping colour. In 2019 Mastercard dropped its name from the mark entirely for many uses, betting that the circles alone were recognisable enough to stand on their own.

Mastercard Logo FAQ
What font is the Mastercard logo?
Since the 2016-2019 redesign led by Pentagram, the Mastercard wordmark uses a custom lowercase geometric sans-serif developed from the FF Mark typeface family. It is a bespoke brand font rather than a stock typeface.
What colour is the Mastercard logo?
The logo uses a red circle (#EB001B) and a yellow-orange circle (#F79E1B), with the overlap rendered in orange (#FF5F00). These three colours are the core of the brand identity.
Who designed the Mastercard logo?
The original interlocking-circles mark appeared in 1968 for Master Charge. The modern flat version was redesigned by Michael Bierut and the team at Pentagram, with the wordmark removed in 2016 and the standalone symbol adopted in 2019.
Why does the Mastercard logo use two overlapping circles?
The two interlocking discs were meant to symbolise connection and partnership between the company, banks and cardholders. Over the decades the brand simplified them into flat overlapping colour, and by 2019 the circles became recognisable enough to be used without the name.
