• Litres Samizdat, as a service for realizing the potential and beginning a career of authors with opportunities to reach the largest readership in the digital space in Russia, is embodied in a logo in the form of a square representing a simplified form of the book. In parallel with the updated visual identity, a number of functional changes for digital authors will be presented in the second quarter of 2023: such functions as a cover generator, access to complete sales statistics and a notification center will appear - a section where you can receive from the support team all current news, information about the status of publishing works, contests, discounts on services.
• For Litres Reader, a service with which everyone can voice a work and receive a reward from sales, a microphone icon familiar to readers has been developed, but updated in the general style of branding.
• One of the key elements of the identity of the Litres Publishing project, which helps authors produce books and find their reader, is the book's signature spine bookmark. It symbolizes the completeness and peculiarity of the final product.
• The book variety of the Litres Library project, through which state public libraries can give out electronic and audiobooks to their visitors and readers access them for 14 days for free, epitomizes a simplified image in the form of squares. The element is also a reflection of the "top view" of bookshelves and shelves.
• The logo of the Litres School, which provides educational organizations with access to a mobile library with a wide range of books, is made in the form of a school call in motion - such an identity calls for new knowledge and knowledge of the world.

2022

Start rebranding

Litres Book Service launched a rebrand on December 14, 2022. His goal is to emphasize that Litres is not only a convenient way to read and listen to books, but also a full-fledged book ecosystem with advanced capabilities, with which you can choose both the format of acquaintance with content and the way to purchase books, as well as publish or voice a book. The rebranding will affect all of Litres' visual communications, ranging from writing the name of the service, logo and corporate identity to the interface of the site and applications. The changes will affect both the main brand of Litres and other projects of the company: Litres: Samizdat, Litres Reader, Litres Library, including the gradual transition of the book subscription service MyBook to a common brand. Litres developed a new identity "Artemy Lebedev Studio."

Rebranding as a combination of several assets under a single umbrella brand is an important step for the company, which should open up opportunities for the further development of Litres and the expansion of the services, products and functional options provided for users. The update started in mid-2022 with the launch of the I Read So communication platform and advertising campaigns in support of it. Now the changes have affected the logo, corporate identity, as well as updates to the functionality of the service. They are aimed at emphasizing that Litres is a dynamically developing service, with a focus on personalization and a general focus on the user, "said Yulia Kim, director of strategic marketing and development at Litres Group.

Litres develops, moves from just an online store with electronic and audiobooks to a service with advanced capabilities, with which the user can choose both a reading format (listen to read, switch between text and audio) and a way to purchase books (subscription, subscription or piece by piece).

The rebranding is based on an updated identity, which retains the strengths of the brand, but brings to the fore the modernity of the services of the Litres group of companies, digitalization and ecosystem, the variety of formats and convenient functions provided to the user. In the updated logo, the orange color that was always associated with Litres persists, but becomes more modern and expressive. It is accompanied by a color-circle opposite navy, which refreshes the brand, making it more attractive visually and visible in the digital space. The base palette is also complemented by close shades of orange and blue for layered graphics.

The changes affected both the writing of the service - the title "P" disappeared in the middle of the word and the graphic element of the logo: the three lying books are supplemented with a spine that personifies the "bit of information." It transforms into several anchor characters at once: a book, a soundtrack, a swipe (turning the pages of an e-book) and a line of progress reading or listening to a work. This dynamic device symbolizes the multi-composition, variety of formats, products and functions that Litres offers.

The rebranding will take place in several stages and will be completed by the end of 2023. Aidentika was developed by the Artemy Lebedev Studio agency.

Litres has plenty of diverse content. In addition to books, there are lectures, podcasts and audio performances. The updated logo retains the usual metaphor, but at the same time complements and expands it - books turn over, combine with a colon and go digital. Bright identity reflects all the variety of intellectual entertainment available on Litres, and greatly simplifies branding - niches and formats are mastered even faster, - said Litres Artemy Lebedev, founder of the brand agency Studio Artemy Lebedev.

From the end of 2022, the new logo will appear in the icons of the applications "Litres Read!" And "Litres Listen!," On the official website of Litres, on social networks and with partners. In January 2023, the updated corporate visual style will be presented as part of a large-scale advertising campaign that starts on TV and in other reach media channels.
