SMC ニュース

We would like to present and share with you the new logo of Schulte Marine Concept. The logo was finalized and approved by our mother company – BS at end of November, in parallel with the first external use in current issue of SMC Newsletter.
The design was managed by BSM. By introducing a fresh approach to use of the letter “SMC”, the new design creates a clear association with “Schulte Marine Concept”. In order to show that SMC is a part of BSM, the design was aligned with BSM logo artwork, using colors blue and red instead of green and red and the same font types.
The new logo will be applied to all SMC documents and material. New stationery material, such as business card, envelop, letterhead, compliment slip, file folder, etc. will be developed soon.
