It should be noted that Nokia hasn’t really changed its logo, at least not for us.
Nokia’s new logo
The former telephony boss is no longer the group of yore. Nokia has been dismantled for several years.
There was the acquisition of Nokia Mobile OY by Microsoft. Now Nokia’s most popular products, phones, are marketed by HMD Global, a multi-national company. This company is Finnish (Nokia Corporation), Taiwanese (Foxconn), French (Jean-François Baril) or even American (Google and Qualcomm). Is it the true descendant of the famous brand? Not really.
In fact, Nokia is still a Finnish corporation specializing in telecommunications. Its activity “Networks” consists of the use of antennas and infrastructures to manage networks. It is a key player in the rollout of 5G. Note that the Nokia brand is everywhere, not just through these two companies: Austrian StreamView also has the brand license to sell TVs as well as laptops, with the brand license having been recovered from a French company.
The history of the Nokia logo
In short, the telecoms giant Nokia no longer wants to be easily associated and confused with the manufacture of mobile phones, but rather to be recognized for its expertise in communications networks and connectivity. So they unveiled a new logo with a whole new visual identity.
You will not see this logo on Nokia smartphones
HMD Global will continue to use the old logo
Nokia’s history in the mobile phone industry remains a reference for many consumers and fans of the brand. HMD Global will therefore continue to use the old logo. They also announced new products at MWC, including a repairable entry-level smartphone with the old logo.
