The story behind the SBKOREA logo and how to use it correctly

SBKOREA vertical logo
Brand Story

Two letters from a single block

The SBKOREA logo is built from a single unit: the server block that slides into a rack.

Two slots are cut into the same block — offset and opened, they form an S; enclosed, they form a B.

Two letters made from one block grammar express a company that designs and operates both its hardware infrastructure and the software (SaaS) built on top of it with the same principles and the same standard of quality.
