I am excited to see the new branding for CTA and CES go live, and the Consumer Technology Association Foundation is following suit! Description for our blind and low-vision followers: The new logo is a parallelogram intersecting on its right with a circle. The logo is a spectrum of colors ranging from yellow to green to blue. There is a white negative space where the shapes overlap. We like to think of it as representing where we are with technology intersecting humanity. Next to the mark is either CTA or CES, depending on the logo. For the CTA Foundation it is CTA with Foundation spelled out underneath.

A New Look for CTA, CES, and CTA Foundation 🌟 Today marks an exciting milestone for us all. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and #CES have just unveiled a refreshed, reimagined logo, symbolizing a unified vision that represents the powerful connection between technology and humanity. And now, the #CTAFoundation stands proudly with them under this new, shared mark. For 12 years, the CTA Foundation has been dedicated to empowering lives through technology, bringing freedom, independence, and vital connections to older adults and people with disabilities. As we align with CTA and CES, this new brand reflects our shared mission: to innovate, transform, and bring life-enhancing tech to those who need it most. Learn more about our journey and the new look at CES.tech/brand.
