“Zolo” follows the technological trend of company names (Google, Yahoo, Flickr), in order to reflect the television industry’s rapidly advancing capabilities, such as HD, 3DHD, Video-on-Demand and Interactive television advertising.

Our tagline represents the power of television’s ability to connect with viewers with the use of motion, sight and sound. Because sight and sound creates emotion, viewers find television highly engaging which is critical for marketing consumer based goods and services. The tagline also reflects our ability to ‘right size’ business solutions with customer budgets. It is critical that media advertising investments drive results. Zolo Media is committed to making sure that every budget ‘get’s seen and heard”
The colors and font symbolize Zolo Media’s close
relationship with BendBroadband and its commitment to Central Oregon. The
“tech wave” above the first “o” reinforces the “get heard” part of the
tagline and the technology focus of the company as used in the BendBroadband
logo. The Zolo Media logo underscores our commitment to provide
entertainment and information to our local viewers as well as Zolo Media’s
ability to customize solutions for any advertiser using various combinations
of media.
