We are all used to seeing very popular logos of large corporations every day, for example, Google, Starbucks, Walmart. What about adult sites? After all, some of them are so recognizable that even those who do not visit them know about peculiar brands.
Features of logos for adult sites
If we analyze the logos of the sites presented in our selection, we can conclude that most of them do not use commercial companies’ trends. Not all studios or sites try to apply unique details that set them apart from the competition.
For example, adult sites don’t use light shades. Since the background on platforms is in most cases dark, and users often watch videos at night, light colors will stand out strongly and “press” on the eyes. White may appear in titles and titles, but not as a primary color.
Some adult sites copy the famous YouTube video hosting design and use separate parts in their name or even do a similar design. Thus, platforms and studios want to emphasize their direction, namely video content provision, different nature with age restrictions.
In our selection, you can get acquainted with both world-famous logos and less popular ones. Owners of cult (if this word can be applied to a specific field of activity) and unusual logos are collected in one place and may interest you with history and good design.
Vivid Entertainment
Vivid Entertainment is considered the largest company that specializes in the production of adult films. The company has been on the market since 1984 and creates content in exotic locations using professional equipment. The studio has become the record holder for several awards from AVN magazine. The company’s logo is made in blue, which stands out against competitors’ backgrounds, mostly using black shades. There is a star in the image with the letter “V” made in the white inside, which resembles a checkmark. Vivid lettering is in bold sans serif and extras.
HClips
The company logo is made in red and blue. The first part of the image is a play button icon with a red outline with an “h” inside. The next element of the logo is combined with a button and resembles a male organ in shape, immediately revealing the site’s specialization. The second part of the inscription “clips” is located inside a kind of oval. The site uses a version of the logo, in which the red button is located at the beginning of the inscription without a letter inside. The image is made in a minimalistic style without geometric elements. This logo uses a different font, more straightforward, without rounding at the ends of each letter.
PornHub
One of the most popular adult content video hosting sites is the owner of the most recognizable logo. The platform was created in 2007 and is now owned by MindGeek. The company is registered in Luxembourg, but its main financial activities take place in Canada. The platform quickly became the leader among age-restricted content consumers.
The Pornhub logo is very similar to the YouTube logo, only with different color schemes. The name Pornhub was divided into two parts, and one of them was placed inside a rectangle with rounded corners. The first part of the image is white to be visible against the website’s dark background, and the second is black over the orange rectangle. Perhaps such an analogy should be seen as a claim for priority and success in adult content provision.
Private Media Group
Private Media Group is an adult film studio headquartered in Barcelona and San Francisco. The company is known for producing films and TV series such as Cleopatra, Chateau, or the two-part series Millionaire with a budget of $ 1.9 million. Of course, all products have age restrictions.
The company logo consists of the inscription Private in a stylized blue font. All parts of the letters are drawn with clear boundaries, and they do not touch each other. Dancing girls are depicted near the logo. You can see the white logo on the website. A distinctive feature of the platform is that it is all made in light shades, not typical for this industry.
YouPorn
YouPorn ranks among the topmost visited adult sites in the world. The company was founded in 2006 and soon became one of the leaders in the industry. The site is often criticized because it does not check the age of faces in the video and allows downloads of copyrighted content. YouPorn has been sued for breach of privacy and attempted use of a user’s personal information based on browser browsing history.
YouPorn logo one of the most concise and playful logos in our collection. The first part, “You,” is bold, which gives the logo a bold look. The second part uses the heart’s image instead of the letter “O.” The pink color conveys the site’s playfulness and direction. The font in the logo is simple, sans serif and additional elements.
Upornia
Upornia decided to use a symbolic element in their logo. The designers added the letter “U” with wings and horns. The main color palette consists of black, gray and red, but is diluted with many shades needed to create a gradient. The color blend effect adds shine and more depth. The blank and highlighted part “U” resembles a male organ, symbolizing the site’s specificity. The designers chose a bold sans serif typeface. There are large spaces between each letter. Thus, it is possible to achieve easy readability and memorability.
Eromaxx Films
This is not to say that the Eromaxx Films logo will be included in all the tops of the world’s best adult logos. This is a fairly simple, discreet image with some colored elements. The logo is placed over the orange color where part of the name was placed in the former color. The logo’s text content can be divided into two parts, which are made using the same font. For “eromaxx,” the designers chose a larger bold font and the inscription “maximum erotica” small letters.
Digital Playground
The California-based company was founded back in 1993. She was a leader among competitors and dominated the industry for some time. Digital Playground uses an animal symbol in its logo, namely the horse’s image, as part of the DP acronym. Why a horse? The horse is a strong and hardy animal; this is not a direct allusion to masculine strength. The main color palette of the company is white and red shades. To stylize the letters, the designers have chosen a special font with extended and sharp corners. Below the abbreviated version of the logo is the full name of the Digital Playground company.
Tube8
Another company that decided to use demonic symbolism is Tube8, one of the divisions of Pornhub. The company copied part of YouTube’s name to make it easier for users to remember. The platform has supplemented its logo with the image of a ball with the number 8 inside. The ball is decorated with red horns and a tail, which indicate the vulgarity and frankness of the content. The designers used a basic bold typeface, sans serif, and other additions. The outline of the logo is colored white to make it stand out against a dark background.
The primary colors are divided in a ratio of 60% and 30%, while 10% remains for the accent shade. In the case of Tube8, 60% is black, followed by white and red, respectively. Thus, it was possible to achieve brightness and add emphasis to the base colors.
RedTube
RedTube is another Pornhub division that ranks among the top most popular platforms in the adult content industry. The site has an average of about 90 million monthly visits. Like most platforms, the company uses red, black, and white for its visual identity. RedTube has split the title into two parts. The word “Red” is nicely styled with the play button and feels like part of the first letter. The inscription is in bold type. The second part of the “Tube” emblem is presented in black with thin letters. The designers stylized the letter “E” especially, making the strip in the middle short.
XNXX
One of the earliest adult sites, XNXX, also had an unusual logo with color schemes. The company is headquartered in Paris. Sources indicate different registrars: VLab Ltd or XVideos. The site’s font is unique due to its unusual color and details. The logo consists of the platform address, not just the name. Due to the peculiar wave, each letter is different from the other. The color palette consists of white and blue shades. The darkest blue is used at the edges of each letter and gives them a bulge. You can see a favicon on the site in the form of a dark blue square with a corporate letter “X” inside.
YouJizz
An interesting and unusual logo from our selection is the YouJizz emblem. The site uses a simple version, in white and with a basic font. But the stylized logo is very popular. At first glance, it seems that each letter was drawn separately, but judging by the last two letters, “z,” when the font is specially selected. The first part of the “You” emblem is depicted as a gentleman’s face and is complemented by a hat and mustache. The second part, “lizz,” is colored red, and under it is the inscription “Yes, sir.” Each element has an unusual design, which makes the site stand out from the competition.
Lethal Hardcore
The logo for a film studio that specializes in adult films was created without using the three industry-standard colors. The company has chosen an unusual solution for the corporate image. The color palette consists entirely of gray and white shades. The designers have chosen an unusual font with serifs at the ends for the emblem. On the white part of the logo, you can see the shadow from the letters, made using shades of gray, and on the gray part – from black. This adds depth to the logo. The inscription is made in italics and on the site itself is placed in the middle of the page.
Bang Bros
Bang Bros is a large company that additionally owns 35 other adult sites and founded in Miami. The site’s main symbol is a bus with wings present on all versions of the company’s logos. The first part of the emblems is made in shades of gray, and the second in yellow. The designers added a gradient transition and a shadow for the bus to make it memorable.
Bang! Originals
The website logo font is somewhat similar to the font of the well-known electronics manufacturer – Samsung. The designers chose a font with straight lines and also made all the text bold. The exclamation point at the end adds a twist to the logo. The colors in the logo are divided according to the 60-30-10 principle, so the dominant shades are black and white, and the accent color is red. This color combination is often used in the adult film industry, as you may have noticed from previous companies’ examples.
xHamster
One of the most popular adult sites has chosen the hamster symbol for its logo, which is also reflected in the platform name. The main meaning inherent in the image is that the hamster accumulates grains in his cheeks the way a video hosting site publishes and collects content with an age limit. Several other sources state that the hamster was chosen as a symbol of friendliness and energy due to the rodent’s soft fur. It should be noted that the bloated cheeks of a hamster in the world of adult video content, as a symbol, take on a completely different meaning for some people :).
In addition to the hamster’s image, the logo consists of the name xHamster, in which the letter “X” is highlighted in red. The main color palette of the company is gray, white with accent red. On the favicon of the site, they use the same hamster head.
XVideos
One of the popular adult video hosting sites does not have an interesting logo. Simplicity and sophistication are the main highlights of the emblem. Also, looking at the images, it is not immediately clear what the company’s specialization is. The logo has changed several times, and the version adopted in 2018 is now used. It is simple XVideos lettering in white with a bold red X on a black background. The developers of the logo give this letter the main place in the emblem so that it is recognizable and the direction of the site is clear. On the site itself, the logo does not attract much attention, but users do not open the platform for the sake of viewing the branded image.
The website went live in late spring 2007. It belongs to the Czech company WGCZ Holding. The platform is often ranked among the most visited sites.
PornTube
The name PornTube itself is associated with the famous site YouTube. The color palette and the very idea of the logo strongly resemble the well-known video hosting. The designers chose shades of black, white, and red typical of the industry. The distance between the letters is small, but the entire inscription is readable. The font on the emblem is very similar to the inscription of the popular video hosting site.
The PornTube symbols are two rounded squares. One of them is made in red with horns, a tail, a grin of the devil, and the other with wings, a halo, and an angelic smile. The symbol with the devil is larger than the angel and was placed behind him.
Bluebirds
The Bluebirds logo fully reflects the name of the company. The designer chose blue for the lettering. A girl’s silhouette complements the image with wings, similar to a mythical creature about to take off. The image is not always visible as it is translucent and small. For the inscription, they chose a font with rounded letters and with a gradient transition. Bluebird is also a separate bird species and is used as a symbol in company names, as the bird symbolizes happiness.
Brazzers
The company was founded in 2004 and later joined the Mansef group located in Montreal (Canada). According to the company itself, double Zs are associated with users with the pleasure and quality that they provide using the platform. The company’s logo is built around symmetry. The word “Brazzers” consists of 8 letters, and two yellow Zs split it exactly halfway. The title is framed in black and white. The designers chose a bold font, clearly separating each letter. Because of their awareness and activities, companies on the network often use this logo to make a candid photo even more vulgar.
