GoDaddy Unveils New Logo

If you visited GoDaddy’s website or its social media pages this morning, you probably noticed the company’s new logo, icon, and color scheme. GoDaddy will now be using two different color schemes in its logo – black and white or teal. The company last made a major change to its logo in May of 2018. When that change was announced by the company, I shared the different versions of GoDaddy’s logo since the company was founded.

I was sent a few variations of the new corporate branding that people should expect to see going forward:

I actually really like the whole package. The typeface didn’t change, so the GoDaddy branding will not change. The icon stands out to me and will become instantly recognizable as GoDaddy, much like GoDaddy’s former logo with the man’s head was also iconic. Put simply, I think it’s a great change.

GoDaddy distributed a press release to share more information about the logo update, and I posted it below:
