Meaning and history
Emporio Armani’s youth clothing and accessories line was created by Giorgio Armani in 1981.

In 1997 Emporio Armani introduced watches and decorative cosmetics Emporio Armani Beauty Components, and in 2002 production of the EMPORIO ARMANI Gioielli jewelry line was launched.

1975 – Today
The Emporio Armani logo has been inspired by the main Giorgio Armani logo.
1975 – Today
To begin with, both of them feature the same typeface. It is a rather elegant serif font with varying stroke width. The letters are placed so close to each other that they stick in several cases like they do in the logo of the main line.
Also, you can see the iconic bird with its wings spread wide, which can be seen in the logo of the parent brand.
Font and Color
The elegant uppercase lettering from the primary Emporio Armani badge is set in a traditional serif font with sophisticated lines and long serifs. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, GHEA Aram Medium or LGSH David Medium, but with an elongated and curved tail of the letter “R”.
As for the color palette of the Emporio Armani visual identity, it is based on a simple yet chic black-and-white scheme, which is timeless and always actual. The black lines look confident and luxurious, allowing the logo to be placed on various backgrounds without losing its unique character.
