SM Entertainment, one of the largest entertainment companies in Korea, needed a new identity that could flexibly respond to the media while expanding its business scope beyond music to sports, fashion, and lifestyle.
The new visual identity inspired by the light that symbolizes all the celebrities and content of SM Entertainment. The light moves smoothly and shapes the circle, and the circle evolves into various shapes, forming a symbol connecting the letters S and M.
The new symbol of SM Entertainment is a flexible identity that can be continuously transformed and expanded, representing a company that constantly evolves according to trends. Various circular shapes and symbols form colourful graphics and patterns which have become the design essence of the SM Entertainment identity.
