LOGOS


OUR LOGOS The Primary + Secondary Logos and Their Usage The simple elegance yet eclecticism of the company is reflected in the Primary and Secondary Logos.

Primary Logo

The diverse yet cohesive aesthetic of the two logos communicate the fashion forward aesthetic of the brand.

Secondary Logo


Primary Logo

}

The primary logo consists of stylized cursive letters creating a wavy line. The original logo created in 2010 is used for the majority of deliverables especially when the deliverable calls for a high degree of brand recognition.

The minimum size for the primary logo is 1 inch wide.


Secondary Logo

}

The secondary logo is a standard character mark using a custom serif typeface in all-caps that communicates the fashion forward aesthetic of the brand. The second logo created in 2010 is used for a large portion of highly visible deliverables such as storefront signange.

The minimum size for the secondary logo is 0.75 inch wide.


Logo Integrity

The Primary and Secondary logos require a boarder of clear space to ensure visibility when used with other elements. Therefore it is important that this clear area remains free of any other elements. .


Tertiary Logos

We develop our own brands, treating each as an independent label with its own distinct aesthetic. As a group, they have a few things in common: premium fabrics, superior construction and an of-the-moment point of view.


DO’S Follow these rules when using any of the brand logos

Use black fill when the logo is placed on a white or low intensity and/or “light coloured” backgrounds

Use a white fill colour when the logo is placed on black or highly pigmented coloured backgrounds

Use black or’ white fill when uplacing on an approved cloured background that is a light, dark or a midtone


DONT’S Logos in their unaltered state are integral to the brand The logos that repreent the Aritzia brand have been beautifully crafted and thought out.Thus it is integral that the logos retain their design integrites and keep within the guidelines in this book.

Do not add any special effects i.e. glow, drop shadow, bevel or emboss, for any reason. Keep the logo pure.

Do not alter the colour of the logo outside of the palette unless otherwise agreed upon with our design team. Do not warp, or stretch the logo in any way.

Do not rotate the logo for any reason, in anyway

Since 2008, we’ve featured the work of original and exciting art photographers on the "canvas" of our shopping bags. Curating images from across an artist’s existing portfolio, we provide a novel platform for their unique creative vision. We’re proud to have helped propel the careers of now-prominent photographers like Ryan McGinley and Harley Weir, as well as many other up-and-coming talents.
