Bank of America Logo Samsung Logo "Its blue coloring suggests both stability and reliability, and projects a warm and intimate feeling. The name is now written in English, making it easier to read and be remembered throughout the world. It is superimposed over a dynamic, new logo design, giving an overall image of an enterprise on the move. The elliptical logo shape symbolizes the world moving through space, conveying a distinctive image of innovation and change. The first letter and the last letter partially break out of the oval to connect the interior with the exterior, showing SAMSUNG's desire to be one with the world and to serve society as a whole."
