Established in 1966 as Interbank until 1968 and later known as Master Charge until 1979, MasterCard is a technology company in the global payments industry that contrary to the perception that they issue credit cards processes the payments between the banks of merchants and the card-issuing banks or credit unions of the purchasers. They operate the world’s fastest payments processing network and are active in more than 210 countries and territories. 

Mastercard has introduced a new logo the first change in 20 years and identity designed by New York, NY-based Pentagram partner Michael Bierut .

The new logo keeps the overlapping circles it would be corporate suicide for MasterCard not to and criminal of Pentagram to have pushed for not keeping them and does literally what the old circles did figuratively by coloring the overlap orange.

The digital applications are simple and crisp, nothing to get too excited about other than how nice the horizontal lock-up version sits on the header.
