About the Munich Re Logo
Introduction
A confident blue wordmark followed by a globe striped with latitude lines — the Munich Re logo belongs to the company that insures the insurers. Its symbol is a planet, because its business is the whole planet’s risk.
Brand Overview
Munich Re (Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft) is a German reinsurance company founded in Munich in 1880 by Carl von Thieme, who also co-founded Allianz. It pioneered the business of reinsurance — taking on risk from primary insurers so they can withstand catastrophes — and remains one of the world’s largest reinsurers, headquartered on Königinstraße in Munich. Its official website is munichre.com.
History of the Munich Re Logo
For most of its life the company traded under its full German legal name, with conservative typographic marks. The current identity, the version in this download, internationalised the brand as “Munich Re” and paired the name with its emblem: a globe drawn as a set of horizontal bands, a stylised Earth reduced to latitude lines. The mark has anchored the group’s reports, buildings, and digital presence ever since — sober, technical, and quietly global.
Meaning of the Logo
- The striped globe: A world mapped by risk — every latitude band a market, a climate, a catastrophe modelled; the planet is the portfolio.
- The horizontal bands: Lines of data as much as of geography — Munich Re sells analysis of the world, not just cover for it.
- The sober blue: One deep corporate blue, unadorned — the palette of actuarial tables and long time horizons.
Munich Re Logo Colors
| Color | Hex Code | Usage |

| Munich Re Blue | #175788 | The wordmark and the globe symbol (the logo file’s own fill value) |
| White | #FFFFFF | Backgrounds and reversed applications |
A single blue carries the entire mark — the globe’s stripes are gaps in the colour, not a second colour.
Conclusion
Munich Re’s logo draws its whole business model in one small planet: every line a risk, every risk understood, priced, and shared.
