The new logo is in the form of a hexagonal shape, which symbolizes the sturdiness as a stand-alone unit as well as the expandability and flexibility of a modular combination. The new logo also represents Acall's strength as a system and as an organization.
The multiple colors in the logo express the diverse ways of working styles that are realizable by choosing the time and place, as well as the excitement for 'work’ and ‘life’, and the variety of individuality. The overlaying of each color (working style ≒ worker) gently connects workers and enhances the value of the team as a whole.
Application Logos and Names :
Leaving the first letter of the word in capital in each application name, the rest of the letters will be changed to lowercase.
*Please note that Acall Desktop's name and application design will be changed significantly from previous versions.
