OTF Logo PNG
The OTF logo is frightening and intimidating. The ambiance of the emblem conveys the criminal core of the collective, which is a member of the Chicago street gang. However, upon closer inspection, there is a sense of coziness and care behind the horror-themed letters.
OTF: Brand overview
The history of Only The Family (OTF) began around 2010–2011 on the South Side of Chicago, in the Englewood neighborhood, where rapper Lil Durk (Durk Derrick Banks) grew up. Initially an informal collective, OTF provided mutual support among friends pursuing music careers during Chicago’s drill movement, where Durk quickly rose alongside artists like Chief Keef and G Herbo. After gaining prominence through early mixtapes such as I’m a Hitta and Life Ain’t No Joke, Durk signed with Def Jam Recordings, elevating his career and his collaborators—including King Von and Booka600. In 2018, OTF became an official record label, releasing successful compilations and albums, notably Durk’s Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 and Von’s acclaimed Welcome to O’Block. Despite King Von’s tragic passing in 2020, the collective remained resilient, releasing chart-topping projects like The Voice of the Heroes and Durk’s 7220 and Almost Healed. As of 2025, OTF continues to uphold Durk’s vision, nurturing emerging talent and maintaining a significant presence in hip-hop.
Meaning and History
The symbol represents the group and the record label various artists perform under. There are a total of 16 musicians. The family theme, played out in the logo and name, primarily applies to them.
What is OTF?
A Chicago music group created by Lil Durk as part of Coca-Cola Boys. It became independent after its first album. The members are part of the criminal gang Black Disciples. The band has released six mixtapes.
2010 – today
The group’s emblem consists of an acronym. Despite the threatening appearance, the basis for the logo is a quite peaceful name – Only the Family. Interestingly, the group was originally called OTF Coke Boys but chose its path, separating from the parent collective. Therefore, only the abbreviation OTF remained in the name.
The choice of name is associated with the idea of uniting fans and musicians into a single family, the center of which are the ideals the group presents in their songs and the unity of rap fans. All albums of the collective are collections of completely different tracks. They are united into joint discs because members sing them of the “family” and because it is rap.
The letters O and F are closely pressed against the central T, which as if embraces them. The motif of guardianship and protection is associated with the special position of Lil Durk, who united musicians around himself and patronized them while continuing his solo career. The entire collective signed a contract with Empire Distribution studio, and Durk himself with Alamo Records. The group’s compilations always indicate “in collaboration with Lil Durk” or “featuring Lil Durk.” Therefore, the artist is like a “father” to OTF, and the central letter in the emblem is dedicated to him.
Font and Colors
Black is a common color used to identify hip-hop and rock musicians. The choice evokes terror, which complements the unconventional appearance of the members with tattoos and dreadlocks, black T-shirts, tracksuits, and hoodies. Interestingly, dark shades accompany the group in life, too – the band, which includes the musicians, is called Black Disciples.
Periodically, the logo is used in red or white on a black background, like the rappers’ creativity adorning the dark deeds of the gang. Music and songs are like a ray of light for the members of the collective, some of whom have served time in prison.
The font of the inscription is unique due to its uneven, ragged glyphs. The close placement of the letters conveys the theme of familial ties on stage and in the gang.
