Logo and Fox-Related Band Research

As it turns out there are a wealth of bands that include fox within their names, I also started looking further afield, looking more at other companies such as pubs, clothing and even eco-companies that go by a name that includes fox.

There are a variety of interesting literal visual interpretations that use the fox tail or an illustration of a fox as part of their commercial branding. Silver Foxes, the Foxes and Fleet Foxes have type-based logos that don't use illustration.



Fleet Foxes are probably one of the biggest with a visual style lit with rural-esque painting style imagery, much like to convey a british history probably to do with fox hunting. The typeface is an uppercase serif which overlays the imagery. Overall the visual style is really nice and communicates a heritage value within the music they produce, to suggest a very acoustical/indie value within the music.


The Foxes are another indie style band with a visual direction that simply uses the name as type within the logo. Not very visually interesting identity but they seem successful and it is clean and consistent.
