Here is a brief synopsis of the announcements, with some detailed press releases following (and linked).
Sigma Announces New Visual Identity & New Art Projects Initiative
On February 24, 2025, Sigma Corporation will adopt a new visual identity for its products and brand. The way cameras and photography relate to our lives is constantly changing, as the industry undergoes constant evolution and occasional revolutionary leaps. At the same time, the fundamental desire at the heart of photography – to capture and share moments – remains unchanged. Our new visual identity reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting this pursuit through exceptional craftsmanship and creativity.
The most striking changes concern Sigma's wordmark and symbol. The new symbol is a contemporary update of the symbol that has been in use since Sigma's founding. Based on the Greek letter S, it reflects the name of our company and symbolizes the guiding idea behind our manufacturing philosophy: every single product is the sum of the technology, experience, passion and expertise of everyone involved in its creation.
