Famous Luxury Brand Logos Explained
There are many famous luxury brand logos out there! So much so that it can be confusing.
Here are our simple explanations for all luxury brand logos!
Louis Vuitton logo
Louis Vuitton is probably one of the most recognizable brands out there. While Louis Vuitton has lots of designs and patterns, today it’s just the LV logo.
The LV logo, also known as the LV monogram was designed in 1896. Surprisingly, it’s best to draw the LV logo with the “V” first then the “L” where the “L” is angled to match the “V.”
You’ll mostly see the Louis Vuitton logo on the LV monogram or on their embossed leather.
Gucci logo
The Gucci logo was designed in the 1960s using the founder’s initials, Guccio Gucci.
Gucci uses different variations of their double-G motif.
The classic version has two interlocking Gs facing in the same direction, mostly seen on the Gucci Marmont bags.
There is a mirrored, interlocking GG logo seen in many of their handbags. There’s another interlocking, mirrored GG logo, but the right G is horizontally flipped.
There’s one more GG logo to be aware that is seen on their Guccissima Leather and Supreme Canvas. It is two GG next to each other that are not interlocking, but the right G is still flipped.
Chanel logo
The Chanel logo operates very similarly to the Gucci logo. It is two interlocking CC but the right C is mirrored.
Chanel only uses this one CC logo with not many variations. But they tend to use the middle portion in the CC as a turn-lock, as seen in their Classic Flap and Boy Bags.
Hermès logo
The Hermes logo is a horse-drawn carriage with a person standing beside it.
It was inspired by 19th-century drawing called Le Duc Attelé, Groom à L’Attente by French artist Alfred de Dreux.
This logo is the perfect homage to its equestrian heritage.
Christian Louboutin logo
The Christian Louboutin logo is relatively simple and elegant. It is essentially a handwritten-style signature of “Louboutin”.
It is often seen on the back or bottom of Louboutin items.
Salvatore Ferragamo logo
For decades, the primary Salvatore Ferragamo logo was a sleek stylized replica of his personal signature.
They also added a more modernized version, which is an uppercase, custom serif font of “Ferragamo”.
We can’t forget Ferragamo’s Gancini, their iconic signature hardware and essentially their symbol logo.
Burberry logo
There are many logos Burberry has used throughout the years.
The most famous and traditional logo is probably their equestrian knight design with a classic serif or sans-serif brand name.
Additionally, Burberry used to be a BurberryS logo, which is still part of the brand.
Then they made a simplified, cleaner of the Burberry logo in a sans-serif type font.
Recently, they started using a “B” with the letter “T” passing through it on some of their handbags. This logo feels like a very simple and modern version of the Burberry logo.
However, many still love the original or traditional logo.
Versace logo
Versace logo is known to be a Medusa head, which is seen on Versace sunglasses and accessories.
Versace also uses a sunburst motif, also named as Sun God, which is seen on many of the handbag accessories.
Christian Dior logo
There are many Christian Dior logos to be aware of.
The most common is the “DIOR” or “D” hardware on many of their handbags. While not a logo, their oblique monogram is a repeating pattern of slanted "Dior" letters.
Usually, the Dior logo is in a serif or bold all-caps font.
Additionally, there are many variations of the Christian Dior logo when they are simplified to CD on their jewelry or accessories.
Fendi logo
The Fendi logo is a simple one to explain.
There are essentially 2 Fendi logos. One is seen on their box, which includes the full Fendi logo in a Helvetica bold type-like font.
The other is the double FF motif where the right “F” is flipped and mirrored. This can be seen on their double FF monogram Zucca and Zucchino canvas, which originally stood for “Fun Fur.”
Loewe Anagram logo
To round out, there are two Loewe logos to know!
The first is the symbol of four interlocking, mirrored "L" shapes. This is seen throughout many of their products.
The full Loewe logo is a unique serif typeface.
