This graphic takes pride of place on the new company website to celebrate the milestone.<br><br>The graphic is designed to be reminiscent of a military badge, with the company&#8217;s logo icon (also called a logo mark) at the centre. The stylised bullet has been Sharpshooter&#8217;s logo since the very beginning and, apart from a little refining of the shape, hasn&#8217;t changed in the intervening time. It&#8217;s a simple but effective logo encapsulating everything I wanted it to represent: clean and effective design, speed and accuracy.<br><br>As for colour, red was the obvious choice and it has also stayed pretty much the same for the past 20 years. Not only is it a striking colour, it also ties in very well with the design influences behind the logo: graphic design of the Dutch <em>De&nbsp;Stijl<\/em> and Russian Constructivism art movements. Do a Google image search for either plus &#8216;graphic design&#8217; and you&#8217;ll see how elements of each movement inspired and influenced the logo design.<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharpshooter is celebrating 20 years in business throughout 2020.
