About Master Card

Two solid, overlapping circles sit side-by-side: a red circle on the left and an orange-yellow circle on the right. Where they intersect there are three narrow horizontal cut lines (striping) that allow the red and orange to visually interlock.

A white italicized sans‑serif wordmark reading "MasterCard" is set across the lower portion of the circles, with a thin dark blue drop shadow around the letters giving the text slight depth. The composition is flat, bold and highly geometric.

What's in it: overlapping discs (abstract)

Shapes: two overlapping circles horizontal stripe segments in overlap italic wordmark

Style: bold geometric flat minimalist italic retro (pre-2016 wordmark style)

Text in logo: MasterCard

The overlapping discs evoke connection, partnership and exchange (intersection/overlap implying transaction or network).

Master Card Logo History

MasterCard is a global payment-card network. The interlocking red and yellow circles are a long-standing element of the brand dating back to the company's early card branding; the camel-cased "MasterCard" wordmark shown here reflects the company's pre-2016 styling. In 2016 the brand simplified to a lowercase "mastercard" and often uses the circle symbol on its own.

Frequently asked

Is this the current Mastercard logo?

No — this image shows the older camel-cased "MasterCard" wordmark across the circles. The brand moved to a lowercase "mastercard" wordmark and often uses a simplified circle-only mark after a 2016 refresh.
