Bonanza logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Bonanza Logo PNG The Bonanza Steakhouse logo seems to have been inspired by the television series after which it was named.
- Meaning and history The Bonanza Steakhouse chain was established in 1963 by actor Bobby Dan Davis Blocker.
- He named his chain after the western television series Bonanza, in which he played Eric “Hoss” Cartwright.
- The TV series started in 1959 and lasted until 1973 becoming NBC’s longest-running western.
- By 2019, the number of locations of the Bonanza Steakhouse chain and its sister chain Ponderosa Steakhouse reached 75 (within the US).
- Emblem The logo is dominated by the word “Bonanza” in red.
- The type has a pronounced retro touch, with its serifs and the interplay of the bolder and thinner strokes.
- Interestingly, the shape of the serifs is somewhat similar to the serifs from the type on the posters of the namesake TV series.
- The letters look slightly casual as if they have been painted on a rough surface, which also contributes to the western style.
- The word “Steakhouse” below uses a plainer and more generic sans.
- This approach seems reasonable as the letters are small and need a classic type to remain legible.
- You could come across older versions of the Bonanza logo, for instance, on the signs above the entrance of the restaurants.
- While they might have looked different from the current one, they still shared the western-inspired style.
- One of the older variants, for instance, used a rounded serif type with heavy tops and bottoms.
