About Basf

A solid rectangular blue field contains a left-aligned geometric icon and a bold white wordmark with a short white tagline beneath. The icon is made of a larger pale-lilac square, a small darker-blue square to its right, then the bold uppercase wordmark. The background blue fills the entire rectangle.

The wordmark is a heavy, modern sans-serif reading "BASF" in white; beneath it, in smaller white sentence-case type, is the tagline "We create chemistry." The overall look is flat, corporate and highly legible at a distance.

Shapes: rectangle (background panel) large square small square wordmark
