Nokian Tyres changes brand design

Nokia, Finland - Nokian Tyres has changed its brand design is response to consumer trends and in order to become more attractive in the company’s strategic growth areas.

The redesigned brand image takes inspiration from the simplistic aesthetics of Scandinavian design, said Nokian.

The colour palette will continue to include the familiar birch green.

Also, the simplified round shape is based on the dimensions of an actual tire and used as a recurring graphical element.

Nokian expects the new brand to increase its appeal, especially in its growth markets of North America and Central Europe.

“The promise of peace of mind in all conditions is at the core of Nokian Tyres’ operations,” the company added.

The brand also aims to signify Nokian’s contribution as “one of the most sustainable companies in its industry”.
