Here are some versions of the Somma logo, from the economic boom years in Italy.
The first logo, found in the archive dates back to the 50s. The green, white and black geometric graphics surrounding the brand dressed the famous blanket boxes, making them easily recognizable within the boutiques.
In the following decade, the brand was already so famous that you decided to opt for a simpler graphics, inserting the brand inside a circle, but keeping the lettering. The same logo is shown on the new factory moved from Somma Lombardo to the neighboring town of Mornago.
In the mid 70’s, the famous designer Bob Noorda was called for the study of the new logo. Noorda designs the graphics of the metros of Milan and New York, the logos of Mondadori, Feltrinelli, Agip, Philips just to name a few, in those same years.
In the 1990s, on the occasion of the acquisition of the brand, the logo was renewed, keeping in fact the lettering chosen by Noorda making it more elegant and current.
Finally, in 1997, on the occasion of the celebrations of 130 years, is inserted inside the ellipse that contains the brand, the date of foundation: 1867, just to emphasize the great textile tradition and the prestige lusters that still today identify the brand.
