Introducing the New OneSignal Logo!

OneSignal has evolved over the years. We started out as a gaming company and learned about the importance of engaging and retaining customers. Then we pivoted to become the biggest push notification service for developers. Today we’re the market-leading customer engagement solution for marketers, product teams, and developers.

Our previous logo did a great job of representing our brand in our early startup days. Since then, we’ve grown to serve over a million businesses, and we felt it was time to give our logo a modern update.
