Collectively, our brand is both the way we look and the way we sound; it’s how we express who we are as a company and it represents Big Bang’s unique combination of reliable and innovative Brand is our audience’s perception of what we do, what we stand for, and what makes us relevant. Big Bang, originally named Big Bang Labs and then known as Big Bang Networks, was founded in 2016.

1.1 CORPORATE LOGO Because our logo represents us at the very highest level, it is vitally important. Together, the wordmark and the crest act as a signature, an identifier, and a stamp of quality. To maintain consistency and professionalism as we use our logo, follow the few simple guidelines in this section.
Our primary logo is used for most applications and contains two basic elements: the wordmark and the crest. They should never be separated or adjusted. Contact the Office of Communications and Marketing to request digital files for the logo.
Primary Logo The Big Bang logo is the foremost representation of our brand; it is a visual summation of who we are. To maintain its strength and integrity, use it consistently and appropriately according to these guidelines. Always treat the Big Bang logo as our company signature rather than a design element. It should appear on all Big Bang materials.
