CP is a Bulgarian broadcasting logo from 1976, credited to graphic designer Nikola Nikolov. The mark consists of the two Latin letters “C” and “P” and is documented as a broadcasting brand from Bulgaria.[1]
Design and History
The CP logo is listed among the works of Bulgarian graphic designer Nikola Nikolov, who worked across poster design, trademarks, logos, TV graphics and type design.[2] Nikolov’s television graphics portfolio from the 1970s includes work for Bulgarian state television programs such as “Обзор” (1975), “Здраве общество време” (1976) and “По света и у нас” (1977).[3]
The two-letter CP mark dates to 1976, a period when Bulgarian state media used simple, functional on-screen identities suited to analog television broadcasting. The logo’s minimal two-letter construction reflects the era’s practical approach to broadcast graphics, where clear recognition at small screen sizes was a primary concern.
Meaning and Symbolism
No official documentation has been found that explains the intended meaning of the “CP” letters or any symbolic elements within the mark. The logo appears to function as a straightforward two-letter identifier for the broadcasting entity it represented.
