Award Winning Logo Design Team
Akamai Technologies, Inc. is a company that provides a distributed computing platform for global Internet content and application delivery, whose headquarters are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Akamai platform of thousands of specially-equipped servers helps the Internet withstand the crush of daily requests for rich, dynamic, and interactive content, transactions, and applications by detecting and avoiding Internet problem spots and vulnerabilities, to ensure Websites perform optimally, media and software download flawlessly, and applications perform reliably.
The Akamai Internet logo design is a simple iconic logo that depicts a wave like icon engulfing the word Akamai which is a Hawaiian word meaning smart or intelligent..
“Surfing the web” is a phrase used to describe using the internet and the wave icon fits that paradigm perfectly. Also because Akamai works to prevent disaster in the form of internet vulnerabilities and prevents billions of transactions from collapsing, then icon prepped against the company name hints at a wave breaker.
Today Akamai works with companies like Audi, NBC, and Fujitsu, and organizations like the U.S. Department of Defense and NASDAQ — powering brand new business models that serve the changing online economy. It even powers the governmental website http://www.whitehouse.gov updated by the Obama administration uses Akamai Technologies as their ISP with their main servers located just outside of Romoos, Switzerland.
I like the wave icon and also the color palette selected.
