About DHL Express

A bold, slanted red wordmark reading "DHL" sits centered on a bright yellow rectangular field. The letters are geometric and italicized; three short horizontal red speed-lines extend from the left side of the D and continue past the right edge of the L, creating a sense of motion.

Beneath the main wordmark is the smaller red word "EXPRESS" set above a band of closely spaced thin black horizontal lines that span the lower portion of the rectangle. The overall look is high-contrast and built to convey speed and logistics.
