The China Merchants Bank logo features a stylized white uppercase "M" within a deep maroon circle. The "M" has unique geometric attributes; the left and right legs of the letter are solid white triangles, while the center leg is represented by five evenly spaced white horizontal lines. This gives the effect of a letter broken into parts, suggesting motion or digital data streaming. The clean lines and modern interpretation of a traditional letter shape lend the logo a sense of precision and technological sophistication.
China Merchants Bank (CMB) is the first joint-stock commercial bank in China to be wholly owned by corporate legal entities. The bank has been at the forefront of the industry's reform efforts, originating from entities outside of the government.
