Logo:
For the first time since its inception, A.T. Kearney brought a significant change in its logo in 2020. The old logo displayed the complete company name in red, with the part ‘A.T.’ referring to the initials of company’s founder Andrew Thomas Kearney. The new logo shows only the last name ‘Kearney’ in black. The latest logo is simpler and cleaner compared to the old one. The new font and style emphasises on brand’s identity, modernity, forward-thinking and authenticity.
