About Pinterest
Visual discovery platform
Pinterest launched in 2010. Its historical script lettering, circular P symbol and later wordmark are distinct visual records; a comparison needs to identify which one is being used.
Pinterest was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra and Evan Sharp and is headquartered in San Francisco. Development began in December 2009, and a prototype launched as a closed beta in March 2010.
Pinterest’s brand guidelines describe its primary logo as a script white P placed within a red circle, which may also appear in black or white when colour use is limited.

Logo milestone · 2017
Brand New reported on 16 August 2017 that Pinterest had replaced its script wordmark with a slightly modified Neue Haas Grotesk Black, with a round dot on the i instead of a square one and an s adjusted to pair with the e. The pin-shaped P badge was kept as the main identifier. [7]

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Juan Carlos Pagan describes collaborating with Mike Deal on a custom Pinterest logotype whose P becomes a map pin. This is a designer’s explanation of the historical lettering, not a claim that every later Pinterest wordmark shares the same construction.
Pinterest’s brand guidelines for partners call for the badge rather than the wordmark.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteThe historical script logo is documented as custom lettering by Juan Carlos Pagan and Mike Deal. A similar-looking commercial script font is not established as the exact logo typeface. Brand New identified the wordmark adopted in 2017 as a slightly modified Neue Haas Grotesk in its Black weight.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
