Dunhill logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Dunhill Logo PNG The Dunhill logo does not include any indication of the fact it belongs to a cigarette brand.
- Yet, the elements of the packaging design give a hint of the company’s impressive heritage.
- Meaning and history In 1893, Alfred Dunhill, who was 21 back then, took over his father’s saddlery business and turned it into Dunhill’s Motorities.
- In 1904, he had patented a “Windshield Pipe,” which was supposedly capable of helping a driver resolve the problems caused by the wind and weather while smoking in his open-top car.
- Three years later, he opened a pipe, cigar, and tobacco shop on Duke Street in London.
- At the beginning of its history, Dunhill used various logos for its tobacco products.
- Sometimes, the name of the marque was given in a handwritten script, while in other cases, the company experimented with the letters separated by gaps (they often included elaborate curls or other distinctive elements).
- Current logo The design forces behind the brand have opted for a simple bold sans.
- It looks pretty much like Helvetica Bold except for a couple of details.
- For instance, the middle bar in the “H” is slightly lower, which helps to create a single horizontal direction for the viewer’s glance (from the end of the diagonal line on the “N” to the horizontal lines of the double “L”).
- While the older version looked slightly different, the horizontal bar on the “H” was also lower than average.
- To the left of the wordmark, a stylized “D” is placed.
- It is often given in a different color than the lettering.
- In addition to the Dunhill logo, the package also features an elaborate design composition looking very much like a medieval coat of arms.
