2007 – 2016
The premier logotype of the website shows the brand name, a ‘just porn, no bullshit’ slogan below it, and an emblem. The name was executed in a semibold sans-serif typeface with the rounded tips of the gray characters. The initial letter ‘x’ was orange. In its turn, the slogan below was completely black, and it had a typical lowercase sans-serif script. As for the emblem, it showed a hamster face, colored white, orange, brown, and black in different spots.
2016 – today
The latter logotype shows the same elements: the nameplate and the emblem. But in this logotype, the brand designers decided to remove the slogan and simplified the color palette to just gray, red & white. This logo looks far more minimalistic and softer than the previous variant.
Font
The original typeface looks more attractive due to its rounded and bold lowercase letterforms. However, the nameplate in the 2016 logotype is far more readable due to its angular and letterforms and capitalied sans-serif style. It’s not a typical sans-serif script: the letter ‘r’ is rounded at the top, while the central bar of ‘e’ is shorter than the upper and lower ones.
