About Target — Bullseye Red
Target turned the American discount store into a design destination. Since John Geisse's concentric-circle Bullseye mark in 1968, the brand has paired a single unmistakable red with generous white space and friendly, approachable typography — proving that affordable doesn't mean ugly.
The visual system is radically simple: Target Red #CC0000 on white, pill-shaped buttons, lifestyle photography, and big confident type. Designer collaborations (Michael Graves, Isaac Mizrahi, Liberty of London) reinforced the "expect more, pay less" ethos that made Target the anti-Walmart.
