History of the Maped Logo
The current lockup rounds the letters, adds the ‘As smart as’ line used in English-speaking markets, and signs everything with the big red swoosh — a smile that doubles as the arc of a draughtsman’s compass, the company’s first product.
Meaning of the Maped Logo
- The smile: the red arc is literally a grin — learning drawn as happiness, aimed straight at children.
- The rounded type: soft letterforms feel safe and playful, matching scissor handles designed for small hands.
- The compass echo: the arc also traces a compass swing — a quiet signature of the precision-drawing factory Maped began as.
