EdTech Firm Novakid Tweaks Logo, Eying New Markets, Diverse Cultures
Novakid spent $100,000 this year on its first logo redesign, which was done in collaboration with the BBDO/Proximity advertising agency. Rebranding efforts reflect the firm’s rapid growth and expansion into fresh markets
Novakid, a leading provider of online English-language education, has spruced up its corporate logo to mark its fifth anniversary and its leading position in Europe’s EdTech (Education Technology) sector. Since its launch in 2017, Novakid has become a multinational operation and a key player in the burgeoning market for online English-language courses.
SBA Group company Utenos Trikotažas and the State Investment Management Agency (VIVA), which manages the Business Assistance Fund, have signed a financing agreement worth EUR 2.8 million. The fund will purchase the company’s bonds for EUR 2.3 million and will provide another EUR 500 thousand in the form of a loan. The financing is for a period of 6 years.

“Novakid is a place where children can learn English at ‘rocket speed’ while having fun, and where parents can track their rapid progress,” Novakid CEO Max Azarov says. “For this reason, we featured the ‘rocket’ symbol in our new corporate logo.”
Since the beginning of 2021, the total number of users on Novakid’s platform has risen by 700%, and the platform now boasts more than 500,000 users from 45 countries in Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
New Logo for All Ages, Backgrounds
The need for a new logo was initially prompted by Novakid’s expansion into fresh markets, along with the cultural diversification of its content. “With simple but innovative visual symbols – like the rocket – that are easily recognized in all cultures, we hope to improve the quality of our communication with users,” Azarov explains. “The logo was changed specifically with this aim in mind.”
The new “rocket” logo invites users to a multicultural playground in which children from all over the world can come together to play and learn. According to Azarov, the retooled logo’s unique and dynamic visual style will set it apart from those of its competitors, while a new corporate slogan – “The Right Place to Start” – reflects Novakid’s considerable expertise in teaching English.

“In the rapidly growing – and increasingly competitive – world of EdTech, brand visibility is set to play a critical role,” Azarov says. “With this in mind, our rebranding efforts will remain a priority as we enter new markets and seek to consolidate customer loyalty.”
