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.
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 platform backgrounds 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, using parts of its name or adopting a similar design. Thus, sites and studios want to emphasize their direction: providing 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 in business since 1984 and creates content in exotic locations using professional equipment. The studio has set records for several AVN magazine awards. The company’s blue logo stands out favorably against competitors’ predominantly black backgrounds. There is a star in the image, inside which the letter “V,” resembling a checkmark, is written in white. 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, combined with the button, resembles a male organ, immediately revealing the site’s specialization. The second part of the inscription, “clips,” is enclosed within an oval. The site uses a variant of the logo in which the red button is 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 owned by the company with 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 rounded-corner rectangle. The first part of the image is white to be visible against the site’s dark background, while the second part is black overlaid on 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 films and series such 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,” set 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, which is not typical in the industry.
YouPorn
YouPorn is among the most visited adult sites in the world. The company was founded in 2006 and soon became an industry leader. The site is often criticized for failing to verify individuals’ ages in videos and for allowing downloads of copyrighted content. YouPorn has been sued for violating privacy and attempting to use users’ personal information based on their 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 site’s playfulness and focus. 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 parts of the “U” resemble a male organ, symbolizing the site’s specificity. 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 the Eromaxx Films logo will make it to the top of the world’s best adult logos. 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 logo’s text content can be divided into two parts, both 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: 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 logo is the company’s full name, 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 bearing the number 8. The balloon is decorated with red horns and a tail, which indicate the content’s vulgarity and frankness. The designers used a basic bold sans-serif font and other add-ons. The logo outline is colored white to make it stand out against the dark background.
The main colors are split 60% and 30%, with 10% reserved for the accent shade. On Tube8, 60% is black, followed by white and red. In this way, it has been possible to achieve brightness and accentuate the main colors.
RedTube
RedTube is another division of Pornhub, which is among the 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 with thin letters. The designers especially stylized the letter “E” by shortening the middle stripe.
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 website’s font is unique due to its unusual color and details. The logo not only includes 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, giving them a convex appearance. 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 white version 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,” the font was specially selected. The first part of the emblem, “You,” is depicted as a gentleman’s face, 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 shades of gray and white. For the emblem, the designers chose an unusual serif font. 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 centered on the page.
Bang Bros
Bang Bros is a large company based in Miami that also owns 35 other adult sites. The main symbol of the site is a winged bus, present in 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 a shadow to the bus to make it more memorable.
Bang! Originals
The font of the website logo is somewhat similar to Samsung’s, a famous electronics manufacturer. The designers chose a font with straight lines and set all the text in bold. The exclamation mark at the end twists the logo. The colors in the logo are arranged according to the 60-30-10 principle, with black and white as the dominant shades and red as the accent. 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 of the image is that the hamster is hoarding grain in its cheeks, much like the video-hosting site that publishes and collects age-restricted content. Some sources say the hamster was chosen as a symbol of friendliness and energy because of 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 adult video content world :).
In addition to the hamster image, the logo consists of the name xHamster, with the letter “X” 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 adult video hosting sites 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 logo’s developers place this letter at the center of the emblem so it is recognizable, and the site’s focus is clear. On the site itself, the logo does not attract much attention, and users do not open the platform to view 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 logo’s very idea strongly resemble the famous video-hosting site. 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 used by the popular video hosting service.
Two rounded squares symbolize PornTube. 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 company’s name. The designer chose the blue color for the inscription. The silhouette of a winged girl complements the image, evoking 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 distinct species and is used as a symbol in company names, representing happiness.
Brazzers
The company was founded in 2004 and later became part of the Mansef Group based in Montreal, Canada. According to the company, the double Zs are associated with the pleasure and quality that users experience on the platform. The company’s logo is built on symmetry. The word “Brazzers” has 8 letters, and two yellow Zs divide it exactly in half. A black-and-white border frames the name. The designers chose a bold font that clearly separates each letter. Because of its fame and online presence, companies often use this logo to make a candid photo even more vulgar.
