Brand: avast!
Owned by: AVAST Software a.s. (former ALWIL Software a.s.)
Design: Martin of avast! team
Design brief: ‘Avast is an old nautical term meaning “stop.” Be free from worries as you use the internet. Orange color is vibrant and stands out. The ‘blob’ is avast (represented by the stylized a in the center) surrounded by people (represented by the four nodes or appendages).’
Logo release: January, 2010
Previous Logo:
Another ‘blob’ logo. Strangely, the font of ‘a’ in the logo does not match with the logotype of the name ‘avast!.’
