CINCA is a Colombian ceramic tile brand whose visual identity was created by David Consuegra, one of the pioneers of graphic design in Colombia. The mark dates to 1970 and is documented as a circle-based symbol, though detailed visual descriptions of its construction are limited in available sources.
Design and History
CINCA was established in 1964 as a manufacturer of ceramic tiles for flooring and wall coverings, serving both technical and residential applications.[1] The brand’s symbol was originally designed by David Consuegra in 1970.[2]
Consuegra is widely recognized as a foundational figure in Colombian graphic design. He co-founded the first graphic design program in Colombia at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano in 1967, and created logos for major institutions including Inravisión, Artesanías de Colombia, the Museo del Oro, and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá.[3] His body of work is remembered for reducing complex ideas into simple, geometric symbols.[4]
The CINCA mark is catalogued among Consuegra’s designs as a circle-based logo for a Colombian tiles brand.[5] Beyond its circular format, no authoritative source provides a detailed account of the symbol’s specific elements or their intended meaning.
Meaning and Symbolism
Documented interpretation of the CINCA symbol’s meaning is scarce. The available sources confirm the designer, the year of creation, and the brand’s product category, but do not offer a verified explanation of the mark’s symbolism or the rationale behind its geometric composition.
