What the DPD Logo Colors Mean?

The DPD red is a slightly cool, deep red rather than a fire-engine one, set as a solid rectangle with the three letters knocked out of it. The 2015 rebrand simplified an older, busier mark into this tile so it would hold up small, on a tracking screen or a parcel label, which is where most people meet the brand.

DPD Logo Color History

DPD logo color history has been red throughout, but the mark has gone from a red-and-black lozenge with a globe to the current plain red block, dropping detail at each step.
