2017 – today
The emblem of the company is just their name arranged into a cross. The second ‘C’ letter in ‘Cactus’ serves as a junction point for two words, and it’s shared by them both. Each letter is drawn by hand using black lines. It looks like a conceptual drawing with uneven lines and loose proportions. The emblem resembles a cross, but it’s likely supposed to be a cactus. There are also three lines coming off from the top letter, which could be thorns. The label also has a secondary emblem – an image of a boy with his eyes closed and mouth stitched up. It’s also created using lines drawn by hand, which means uneven and disproportionate shapes. There is also a generally comical and somewhat sweet look about the emblem.
Font and Color
The company is using a unique, handwritten typeface. It looks like a black marker was used to quickly write down the name, creating funky-shaped lettering. The letters have varying thickness and are unevenly spaced. The letter “A” in the word “Jack” is smaller and squished while the “K” is spaced further apart to ensure that the overall emblem looks balanced. The black color is a classic choice. It is quite simple, yet has some elegance, power, and even mystery about it.
