IDENTITY Our base foundation & the building blocks of the new brand

HISTORY & HERITAGE Our distillery was founded in 1935, just after Prohibition in the United States ended. Heaven Hill was born and bred in Kentucky bluegrass, in the same town as Stephen Foster’s famed Old Kentucky Home— Bardstown, the birthplace of Bourbon. Heaven Hill was founded by the Shapira family to produce and market Bourbon and premium American whiskeys. Remember, this was just after Prohibition, and at the height of the Great Depression—at this time, Heaven Hill had no brands and no available stocks of whiskey. From our first little grain, we’ve grown to be the largest independent family-owned and operated distilled spirits supplier in the country. Over the last three decades, Heaven Hill has built on its foundation of American whiskeys to become a diverse supplier of whiskeys, liqueurs, vodkas, rums, and other spirits. Our portfolio includes the world’s second-largest selling Bourbon, Evan Williams, alongside dynamic brands like Deepy Eddy Vodka, Lunazul Tequila, Admirol Nelson’s Rum, and Hpnotiq Liqueur. Since our humble beginnings in 1935, Heaven Hill has retained our commitment to independent and family ownership grounded in a mission and core values suited to building for the long term.

OLD LOGO
We introduced this logo in 2014 to capture the company’s evolution from a leader in American whiskey production to the nation’s sixth largest distilled spirits supplier. Though this logo’s traditional serif and trustworthy blue speak to our commitment to whiskey heritage and our establishment as a premiere supplier of fine spirits, it doesn’t show our real roots—a little grassroots whiskey distillery grown from a grain and a dream.

Identity
NEW LOGO Although we were founded in 1935 during the Great Depression, the United States had just had a booming decade of innovation and modernity. Our new logo is inspired by the forwardthinking and optimisim of the Art Deco movement characteristic of the Roaring Twenties that was carried on into the 1930s no matter the hardship. Typically, as with our previous logo, heritage and tradition are more prominently associated with strong, traditional serifed typefaces associated with the 1800s. Although American whiskey’s beginnings are rooted in America’s own beginnings as a melting pot of cultures in the 1700s, the contemporary visuals and thinking of the Twenties and Thirties are just as much a part of Heaven Hill’s heritage. The new Heaven Hill logo is a monoline wordmark adapted from the German graphic designer Lucian Bernhard’s Bernhard Fashion typeface. The bridge of the H, E, and A form cross each letter and form a hill. Additionally, above the topmost E is an ellipse. This is the Stacked logo, contained within a Halo.
12
Identity
ALTERNATIVE LOGO FORMAT
For alternative purposes, the Horizontal logo can be used. The H, E, and A again are crossed by a hill, while the ellipse is over the H of HILL rather than the E in the Stacked logo. On the opposite page are appropriate color treatments for the logo.

LOGO GUIDELINES When placing the Heaven Hill logo, be careful to leave a sizable amount of clear space between the logo and any other elements. Nothing should ever intrude this space. This space can be measured by the hill in HEA. Additionally, the Stacked logo should never be seen smaller than 1 inch in minimum width, and the Horizontal logo should never be seen smaller than one-half inch minimum height.
