At a keynote conference yesterday, the company, which has surpassed Apple to become the world’s third-largest smartphone brand, unveiled “a brand-new logo of Xiaomi” as part of its “refreshed new corporate visual identity.” The only major difference in its new nature was the replacement of the old square frame with “a squircle,” which is essentially a square with round corners.

During Xiaomi’s two-day launch case, the Chinese-based smartphone company unveiled a slew of new devices, including the Mi 11 series and the Mi Mix folding phone. The highlight reel, however, was the fresh look of the logo of Xiaomi and identity.
Kenya Hara, one of Japan’s most well-known graphic designers, was responsible for the new look, which took a more minimalistic approach. According to Xiaomi, the logo of Xiaomi gives the brand a more vibrant look. The biggest difference is that the emblem now has rounded corners.
The designer also added new MI typography, which gives the company’s name a more classic and appealing look. The company claimed that it wanted the company logo to reflect its agile nature as it went forward with a decade
Though the logo is sophisticated, what really matters to customers is what kind of goods will eventually see the light of day.
