“To provide quality menswear that integrates innovative fabrics with a Japa-nese approach to detail”
We take pride in the recognition we receive.
It is vital that we maintain brand consistency in order to keep our supporters.
The wings+horns logo is representative of the company’s past history, and aims to highlight the modern aesthetics we create.
Logo Specifications
Clear Space
The space around our logo is sacred. As a brand that wants to be perceived as clean, and composed, it is essential that clear space is incorporated to prevent cluttering.
• Use the “O” from the WINGS + HORNS signature as a measure to determine vertical and horizontal clear space.
• To determine the spacing between the signature and the logo, use the apex-to-apex measurement of the “W” from the signature.
Minimum Size
To maintain brand integrity, the logo may not be less than1.5” in width from the “W” to the end of the “S” in the signature.
1.5”

Most of the time, our logo is to remain black or white. However, occasionally a coloured logo may be used. The only part of the logo that is to be coloured are the 4 strokes beneath the crossbar of the “H”.

The badge is an alternate logo used on occasion for special projects or items that aesthetically need the logo to be enclosed by a circle.
Our standalone WH graphic is to be used on embroidery, stickers, advertising, and other promotional material.
The “WINGS + HORNS” signature is to be used on packaging and accessories that cannot accommodate our traditional graphic.
This is our standard WINGS + HORNS logo that is to be used for most branding. Treat it well.
Colours to Abide By, Dude
Although much of our branding is expressed through black and white, we do however utilize colour in some of our graphics.
The colours listed above are presented in accordance with the frequency you should use them.
Keep it sophisticated, no rainbows or gradients.

These are our Print Typefaces
FUTURA MEDIUM

• Use Futura Medium for headings. • It is the font we use for our signature. • Legible, and strong, it is us.
DIN CONDENSED
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
• Use Din Condensed for subheadings. • Its condensed form draws the eye down towards the body copy.• We use this because it is modern and youthful.
GENEVA
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
• Only use Geneva for body copy.

Keep in mind that the first line of communication between us and the customer in today’s world, are the photographs we take of our products. High-quality shots from trained photographers are one of the most important methods of reflecting the WINGS + HORNS brand.
The following uses of images are incorrect.
