2.0 Logo Wordmark Wordmark The THM wordmark is created using Brandon Grotesque in two weights and the script font, Mrs Blackfort. The logo represents the adaptable nature of the brand and changes according to what needs to be communicated. Adaptive Wordmark This is an adaptive logo system that can change its appearance depending on where it’s used. The ‘HOUSE’ element works as a container for interior patterns and materials, with the colour of the other words changing to complement it.

2.4 Logo Adaptive Wordmark Wordmark The THM wordmark is a flexible device. The masking of images and changing of colours can be used to appeal to different prospective audiences. This iteration of the logo represents the ‘vintage’ side of the brand. When the mark needs to denote a more modern environment, bolder colours should be used to complement the masked image.

4.0 Typography Primary Font

Brandon Grotesque abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890#?!@£%&*(){}”“ Brandon Grotesque – Medium Brand font Influenced by the geometric-style sans serif faces that were popular during the 1920s and 30s, the fonts are based on geometric forms that have been optically corrected for better legibility.

Brandon Grotesque has a functional look with a warm touch. While the thin and the black weights are great performers in display sizes the light, regular and medium weights are well suited to longer texts. The small x-height and the restrained forms lend it a distinctive elegance.

Font background Brandon Grotesque is a sans serif type family of six weights plus matching italics. It was designed by Hannes von Döhren in 2009/10.
