中信出版集团负责人希望在拓展中信书店的功能之际对书店的LOGO进行升级,以体现这一战略变化。

具有张力的图形标识取自方与圆的共生——方正轮廓赋予品牌沉稳可信的气质,四边曲线构成勾勒出图形特征,在无形的负空间中暗藏四个圆形分别对应大众出版、数字阅读、教育培训、文化体验四大业务支柱。大小方形的连接,亦是「BOOK+」共生共享理念的视觉转译。

字体定位于美术字与黑体之间,参考了魏碑的特征,规避小众超前的锋芒,亦跳脱传统书店的刻板,以中性稳重的姿态,诠释温厚大方、可信可敬的品牌气质,拥抱全龄层读者。
The head of CITIC Publishing Group intends to update the bookstore's logo to reflect the expanded functions of CITIC Bookstore and embody this strategic shift.

The dynamic graphic LOGO draws inspiration from the symbiosis of square and circle—the square shape lends the brand a stable, trustworthy aura, while the curved lines of its four sides define its graphical identity. Within the intangible negative space, four hidden circles represent the four core business columns: mass publishing, digital reading, education and training, and cultural experiences. The interlocking squares also visually translate the “BOOK+” concept of symbiosis and sharing.

The typography balances between decorative and sans-serif styles, drawing inspiration from Wei Dynasty stele calligraphy. It avoids edgy avant-garde aesthetics while transcending traditional bookstore stereotypes. With its neutral, steady presence, it embodies a warm, generous, trustworthy, and respectable brand character, embracing readers of all ages.
