Meaning and History
The leader in home furnishings sales began in Alaska’s most populous city, Anchorage, in 1997. The idea to open stores came to Ronald Vanek to expand sales. Americans appreciated the furniture, which led to the rapid growth of the stores. In 4 years (2003-2007), the company tripled the number of outlets from 100 to 300. And over the next 15 years, another 700 locations.
Ashley Homestore doesn’t update its visual sign often. Perhaps it does not risk interfering with the business of 1,000 partners representing the company in different countries, or maybe it’s already in a leadership position, and the visual mark is well-recognized. The logo has been updated once during its existence. Both logo versions are associated with Ashley Furniture Industries, the parent firm.
What is Ashley Furniture HomeStore?
This is a furniture retailer of the American company Ashley Furniture. It is headquartered in Florida. Branches are open in 123 countries. They sell about 30 million pieces of furniture worth $10 billion annually.
1997 – 2016
The visual was built around the word Home. The logo is shaped like the silhouette of a house. Since the company sells home furnishings and customers come to furnish the house.
Ashley’s house is a symbol of coziness, of home. It immediately evokes warm associations and disposes of purchases. It reflects the main message of the company – to please customers and make creating a home environment a pleasant task.
The inscriptions were placed on a dark blue background on three “floors” inside the silhouette. On the top in big letters is the word, Ashley, below in thinner and smaller letters is furniture. And on the first floor under the line is the HomeStore inscription written slightly askew with chalk. Such a presentation created an association with a handwritten shopping list at home.
The color white was a symbol of the beginning. It indicated a new proposal from a large and well-known company. The association of novelty was reinforced by the background, which also became lighter towards the lower inscription.
Inside the roof is a large orange corner, repeating the contours of the visor. The same corner is the symbol of the parent company. Its upper placement is associated with the protection and existence under the wing of the main company.
The emblem turned out to be as concise and clear as possible.
2016 – 2022
By 2016, Ashley had expanded to several continents and opened its first store in Russia. A new, more modern logo suitable for a large firm was needed.
The updated version didn’t lose its connection to the furniture company owner and was done in the same style as her. Ashley Furniture Industries’ orange roof in front of the company name matches the orange silhouette of the house by Ashley Homestore. Then comes the large company name, and underneath in smaller letters, the essence of the offering, HomeStore.
Visually, the logo has stretched out, and the letters are longer. The inscription went beyond the house, just as the company has spread around the world in addition to the U.S.
The schematic image of the house symbolizes home products. With no doors or windows, one continuous line creates an association with protection and a complete kit.
