Brown and blue were chosen as a trendy color combination that has served to ultimately unify KantCon's various logos over the years. The font is Arilon Bold, chosen for its unique comic-book style.
Since 2012, the circle with text has served as a structure harking back to the shape of the text from 2011. The circle element also serves to create a cameo-like presentation of the yearly iconic character. Allowing the character to physically escape the confines of the circle suggests the open-minded perspectives and adventurous attitudes of KantCon staff and attendees alike.
Since 2013, the dotted interior further serves to lead the eye around the space, drawing attention to the yearly theme.
