  • Download PNG Stussy Logo PNG The Stussy logo managed to do what only rare logos can – it became a symbol of a whole generation of beach culture.
  • Meaning and history The script emblem made its debut on the handcrafted surfboards Shawn Stussy made and sold in the 1980s.
  • The young Southern Californian used a broad tipped marker to draw it on the surfboards.
  • There’s no other meaning behind the emblem apart from the obvious one – it was the surname of the company founder.
  • However, the signature itself wasn’t his invention – in fact, the unique artwork was derived from the signature of artist Jan Stussy, the uncle of the company founder.
  • Symbol Later, he began using the Stussy logo on tee shirts and shorts.
  • The design of the clothes was logo-driven.
  • It was different from the streetwear and beachwear of the epoch as it featured jazzy, new wave graphic or color combo in addition to the regular logo.
  • At the time, Stussy didn’t even own a shop – he sold the clothes along with his boards out of his car around Laguna Beach, California.
  • The clothing became an important part of the new wave beach culture.
  • “S” emblem If you ask, what is Stussy‘s most iconic item, the answer would probably be – the baseball hat with the distinctive “S.” Shawn Stussy is sometimes called the pioneer in putting logos on baseball hats – the trend that was very soon borrowed (or re-invented) by other brands.
  • The first baseball hat featured a big “S” on the front.
  • The name of the brand wasn’t visible on the front, but the hat had the famous signature on the back.
  • It presumably served as an inspiration for one of the wordmarks for TV show Malcolm in the Middle.
