We are used to seeing very popular logos of large corporations like Google, Starbucks, and Walmart every day. But what about adult websites? After all, some of them are so recognizable that even those who do not visit them know about their peculiar brands.
Features of logos for adult sites
If you analyze the logos of the sites presented in our selection, you can conclude that most of them do not use the trends of commercial companies. Not all studios and websites try to apply unique details that set them apart from their competitors.
For example, adult websites do not use light colors. Since the backgrounds on platforms are mostly dark and users often watch videos at night, light colors will stand out a lot and “pressure” the eyes. White can be present in headlines and titles but not as the main color.
Some adult sites copy the design of the famous video hosting site YouTube and use some parts in their name or even make a similar design. Thus, sites and studios want to emphasize their direction, namely the provision of video content of various natures with age restrictions.
In our selection, you can get acquainted with both world-famous logos and less popular ones. The owners of iconic (if this word can be applied to a certain sphere of activity) and unusual logos are gathered in one place and may interest you with their history and good design.
Vivid Entertainment
Vivid Entertainment is considered to be the largest company specializing 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 a number of AVN magazine awards. The company’s logo is blue, which stands out favorably against the backgrounds of competitors, who mostly use black shades. There is a star on the image, inside of which the letter “V,” resembling a checkmark, is made in white color. The brightly colored lettering is in bold sans serif and extra.
HClips
The company logo is red and blue. The first part of the image is a play button icon with a red outline with the letter “h” inside. The next element of the logo is combined with the button and, in shape, resembles a male organ, immediately revealing the specialization of the site. The second part of the inscription, “clips,” is located inside a kind of oval. The site uses a variant of the logo, in which the red button is located at the beginning of the inscription without the letter inside. The image is made in a minimalistic style without geometric elements. This logo uses a different font, a straighter font with no rounding at the ends of each letter.
PornHub
One of the most popular video hosting sites for adult content is the owner of the most recognizable logo. The platform was created in 2007 and is currently owned by MindGeek. The company is registered in Luxembourg, but the main financial activities are conducted in Canada. The platform has quickly become a leader among consumers of age-restricted content.
The Pornhub logo is very similar to the YouTube logo, only with a different color scheme. The Pornhub name is divided into two parts, one of which is placed inside a rectangle with rounded corners. The first part of the image is white to be visible against the dark background of the site, while the second part is black on top of the orange rectangle. Perhaps this analogy should be seen as a claim to priority and success in providing adult content.
Private Media Group
Private Media Group is an adult film studio headquartered in Barcelona and San Francisco. The company is known for producing such films and series as “Cleopatra,” “Chateau,” and the two-part series “Millionaire” with a budget of 1.9 million dollars. Of course, all products are age-restricted.
The company logo consists of the inscription Private, made in a stylized blue font. All parts of the letters are drawn with clear boundaries; they do not touch each other. Next to the logo, there are dancing girls. On the site, you can see a white logo. A distinctive feature of the platform is that everything is made in light colors, not typical for the industry.
YouPorn
YouPorn is among the most visited adult sites in the world. The company was founded in 2006 and soon became one of the industry leaders. The site is often criticized for not verifying the age of individuals in videos and allowing downloads of copyrighted content. YouPorn has been sued for violating privacy and attempting to use user’s personal information based on browsing history in the browser.
The YouPorn logo is one of the most concise and playful logos in our collection. The first part, “You,” is in bold, which gives the logo a bold look. The second part uses an image of a heart instead of the letter “O.” The pink color conveys the playfulness and focus of the site. The font in the logo is simple, with no serifs or extras.
Upornia
Upornia decided to use a symbolic element in its logo. The designers complemented the letter “U” with wings and horns. The basic color palette consists of black, gray, and red but is diluted with many shades necessary to create a gradient. The effect of mixing colors gives brilliance and depth. The blank and highlighted part of the “U” resembles a male organ, symbolizing the specificity of the site. The designers chose a bold sans-serif font. There are large spaces between each letter. Thus, easy readability and memorability are achieved.
Eromaxx Films
We can’t say that the Eromaxx Films logo will make it to the top of the list of the best adult logos in the world. It is a rather simple, discreet image with some colorful elements. The logo is placed on top of the orange color where part of the name used to be. The text content of the logo can be divided into two parts, which are in the same font. For the word “eromaxx,” the designers have chosen a larger bold font, and for the inscription “maximum erotica” – small letters.
Digital Playground
The California-based company was founded back in 1993. It was a leader among its competitors and dominated the industry for a while. Digital Playground uses an animal symbol in its logo, namely the image of a horse, as part of the DP abbreviation. Why the horse specifically? A horse is a strong and enduring animal; it is not a direct allusion to masculine strength. The company’s main color palette is white and red shades. To stylize the letters, the designers chose a special font with elongated and sharp corners. Under the abbreviated version of the logo is the full name of the company, Digital Playground.
Tube8
Another company that decided to use demonic symbolism is Tube8, one of Pornhub’s divisions. The company copied part of YouTube’s name to make it easier for users to remember. The platform complemented its logo with an image of a ball with the number 8 inside. The balloon is decorated with red horns and a tail, which indicate the vulgarity and frankness of the content. The designers used a basic bold sans serif font and other add-ons. The outline of the logo is colored white to make it stand out against the dark background.
The main colors are divided into 60% and 30%, while 10% is left for the accent shade. In the case of Tube8, 60% is black, followed by white and red, respectively. In this way, it has been possible to achieve brightness and add accent to the main colors.
RedTube
RedTube is another division of Pornhub, which is among the top most popular platforms in the adult content industry. The site averages about 90 million visitors per month. Like most platforms, the company uses the colors red, black, and white in its visual identity. RedTube has split the name into two parts. The word “Red” is nicely stylized with a play button and is seen as part of the first letter. The lettering is in bold type. The second part of the emblem, “Tube,” is presented in black color with thin letters. The designers especially stylized the letter “E” by making the stripe in the middle short.
XNXX
One of the very first adult websites, XNXX, also had an unusual logo with color schemes. The company is headquartered in Paris. Sources indicate different registrars: VLab Ltd or XVideos. The font of the website is unique due to the unusual color and details. The logo consists of not only the name but also the platform’s address. 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 on the edges of each letter and gives them a convexity. On the website, you can see the favicon as a dark blue square with the signature “X” inside.
YouJizz
An interesting and unusual logo from our selection is the YouJizz emblem. The site uses a simple version, made in white and with a basic font. On the other hand, 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 emblem, “You,” is depicted as the face of a gentleman and is complemented by a hat and mustache. The second part, “Lizz,” is colored in red, and below it is the inscription “Yes, sir.” Each element has an unusual design, which distinguishes the site from competitors.
Lethal Hardcore
The logo for a movie studio specializing in adult films was created without using the three industry standard colors. The company chose an unusual solution for its corporate image. The color palette consists entirely of gray and white shades. For the emblem, the designers chose an unusual font with serifs at the ends. On the white part of the logo, you can see the shadow of the letters, made using shades of gray, and on the gray part – from black. This gives the logo depth. The lettering is in italics, and the website itself is placed in the middle of the page.
Bang Bros
Bang Bros is a large company, additionally owning 35 other adult sites, based in Miami. The main symbol of the site is a bus with wings, present on all variations of the company’s logos. The first part of the emblems is in shades of gray, while the second part is in yellow. The designers added a gradient transition and shadow for the bus to make it memorable.
Bang! Originals
The font of the website logo is somewhat similar to the font of Samsung, a famous electronics manufacturer. The designers chose a font with straight lines and also made all the text bold. The exclamation mark at the end gives the logo a twist. The colors in the logo are distributed according to the 60-30-10 principle, so the dominant shades are black and white, and the accent shade is red. This combination of colors is often used in the adult film industry, as you might have noticed from previous companies.
xHamster
One of the most popular adult websites has chosen the hamster symbol for its logo, which is also reflected in the platform’s name. The main meaning behind the image is that the hamster is accumulating grain in its cheeks, similar to the way the video hosting site publishes and collects age-restricted content. Some other sources say 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 hamster’s bloated cheeks take on a completely different meaning as a symbol for some people in the world of adult video content :).
In addition to the hamster image, the logo consists of the name xHamster, in which the letter “X” is highlighted in red. The company’s main color palette is gray and white with an accent of red. The same hamster head is used on the website’s favicon.
XVideos
One of the popular video hosting sites for adults doesn’t have an interesting logo. Simplicity and sophistication are the main highlights of the emblem. In addition, looking at the images, it is not immediately clear what the company specializes in. The logo has changed several times, and now the version adopted in 2018 is used. It is a simple inscription XVideos in white with a bold red letter 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 focus of the site is clear. On the site itself, the logo does not attract much attention, but users do not open the platform to look at the corporate image.
The site was launched in the late spring of 2007. It is owned by the Czech company WGCZ Holding. The platform is often among the most visited sites.
PornTube
The very name PornTube is associated with the famous YouTube website. The color palette and the very idea of the logo strongly resemble the famous video hosting. The designers chose shades of black, white, and red, which are characteristic of the industry. The distance between the letters is small, but the entire inscription is clearly readable. The font on the emblem is very similar to the inscription of the popular video hosting.
The symbolism of PornTube is represented by two rounded squares. One of them is made in red with horns, a tail, and the 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 it.
Bluebirds
The Bluebirds logo fully reflects the name of the company. The designer chose the blue color for the inscription. The silhouette of a girl complements the image with wings, looking like a mythical creature about to take off. The image is not always visible as it is translucent and small. A font with rounded letters and a gradient transition was chosen for the lettering. The bluebird is also a separate species of bird and is used as a symbol in company names as the bird symbolizes happiness.
Brazzers
The company was founded in 2004 and later became part of the Mansef Group based in Montreal, Canada. According to the company itself, the double Z’s are associated with the pleasure and quality users get from using the platform. The company’s logo is built on symmetry. The word “Brazzers” consists of 8 letters, and two yellow Z’s divide it exactly in half. The name is framed by a black-and-white border. The designers chose a bold font that clearly separates each letter. Due to its fame and online activity, companies often use this logo to make a candid photo even more vulgar.
