Unilever


Obviously the big blue ‘U’ of logo stands for Unilever. But look a little closer and you’ll see there’s much more to it.
This logo was designed to include 24 icons, each of which represents something important to Unilever.
The icons that come together to shape the Unilever logo each signify something about their business.
