It specialized in Internet technology and was called Douyin. Its founder and leader was Zhang Yiming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video hosting company went live in the fall of 2016. It was a successful project, the fame of which began to spread rapidly outside of the Middle Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noticing the trend and following the trends, ByteDance refined the app&#8217;s features, added functionality, and improved the design. They then renamed it &#8220;TikTok&#8221; and released it to the international market. At the end of 2017, the company acquired the social network &#8220;musical.ly&#8221;. In mid-2018, it was merged with TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_does_the_tik_tok_logo_look_like\"><\/span>What does the Tik Tok logo look like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.ru\/blog\/ru\/2020\/02\/18162707\/tik-tok-logo-2018.png\" alt=\"Tik Tok Logo\" title=\"Tik Tok Logo\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tik Tok <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/\">app logo<\/a> is uncomplicated: it is because of its simplicity and ease that it is so quickly remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is represented by a <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/types-of-logos\/\">combined logo<\/a> (i.e. combining both graphic and textual components). It consists of a schematic representation of a note (according to other sources, the letter &#8220;d&#8221; representing one of the sounds of music) and an inscription. The name of the application is to the right of the picture. The graphic symbol has an unusual <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/psychology-of-color\/\">coloring<\/a>: it resembles a 3D filter. The letter &#8220;o&#8221; in the inscription is made in the same style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_first_tik_tok_logo\"><\/span>The first Tik Tok logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.ru\/blog\/ru\/2020\/02\/18162708\/tik-tok-logo-2016.png\" alt=\"First Tik Tok logo: 2016\" title=\"First Tik Tok logo: 2016\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, the Tik Tok logo hasn&#8217;t changed much. The 2016 emblem consisted only of a graphic element &#8211; a stylized note letter &#8220;d&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who_created_the_tik_tok_logo\"><\/span>Who created the Tik Tok logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of the author of the Tik Tok logo is unknown. However, the creator of the mark shared the story of how he came up with the idea for the logo design. He was once at a concert where it was dark and the loud sounds made the image vibrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;The black background makes the accents stand out perfectly, the soft angles convey the life of the music,&#8221; <\/p><cite><p>thought the logo&#8217;s author<\/p><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus came the idea of depicting the logo as a note with a black base and colored edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"history_of_tik_tok_logo_changes\"><\/span>History of Tik Tok logo changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.ru\/blog\/ru\/2020\/02\/18162709\/tik-tok-logo.png\" alt=\"Tik Tok logos from different years\" title=\"Tik Tok logos from different years\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tik Tok logo has not changed drastically over the life of the brand. However, there have been minor rebrandings nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2017\"><\/span>2017<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.ru\/blog\/ru\/2020\/02\/18162708\/tik-tok-logo-2017.png\" alt=\"Logo Tik Tok 2017\" title=\"Logo Tik Tok 2017\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2017 &#8211; the brand mark of the service has been supplemented with a lettering with the name. It is located below the symbol. The <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/font-psychology\/\">font<\/a> is simple, flat, without serifs. The name &#8220;Tik Tok&#8221; is divided into two words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2018\"><\/span>2018<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.ru\/blog\/ru\/2020\/02\/18162707\/tik-tok-logo-2018.png\" alt=\"Logo Tik Tok 2018\" title=\"Logo Tik Tok 2018\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the Tik Tok word font has changed slightly. It becomes more chopped up. In addition, if before there was a distinct gap between the text elements, now it is almost absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lettering is also slightly changed. In the original version it was completely black and white. And in 2018, a color accent was made on the letter &#8220;o&#8221; (superimposition of <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/blue-logos\/\">blue<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/red-logos\/\">red<\/a> shades, as in the main part of the symbol). Thanks to this design solution, the composition looks whole and logically complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to draw a tick current logo? &#8211; It&#8217;s not hard! You need a little practice and the ability to own graphic editors (for example, Adobe Photoshop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tik Tok logo exists inseparably together with the product (application) itself &#8211; it promotes and advertises itself and it, reaching a larger and larger audience every day. The company&#8217;s versatile and stylish logo is the result of a brilliant marketing policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faqs_on_tiktok_logo_design_evolution_and_branding_impact\"><\/span>FAQs on TikTok Logo Design Evolution and Branding Impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1635586619456\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"> Who is the creator of the Tik Tok logo?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"> The creator of the Tik Tok logo wished to remain anonymous. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1635586633660\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"> When did the first Tik Tok logo appear?<br\/> <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"> The first version of the Tik Tok sign was developed in 2016. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1635586643088\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"> What does the symbol on the Tik Tok logo mean?<br\/> <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Tik Tok logo depicts a musical note.
