Design context
Logo design & typography notes
The dropped-e logo set the name in lowercase with the e lowered below the other letters. The 2006 logo replaced it with a swirl made of two stripes of varying thickness.
The 2020 logo removed the swirl and redrew the letters; Intel presents the dot on the i as the element of its new visual identity.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteThe 2020 logo uses the custom Intel One font. From 2014 Intel used Intel Clear, created by Red Peak Branding and Dalton Maag. The first logo was set in Helvetica. The 2006 logo used Neo Sans Intel, a variation of Neo Sans. Intel One was designed by Tobias Frere-Jones and Fred Shallcrass of Frere-Jones Type.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
