The Fox Racing emblem is a stylized drawing of Fox’s head (by the way, the name of the company, which owns the brand is Fox Head). It is drawn in solid black, with a bold double outline in white and black, and two white lines over the animal’s face, for the eyes. The emblem is usually placed slightly diagonally, which makes it instantly recognizable.
Although the primary version of the Fox Racing brand is just the portrait of a Fox, for marketing and the brand’s stored banners, the emblem usually replaced the letter “O”, in an uppercase black and white “Fox” inscription, set in massive letters of a square serif typeface. The letters on the banners are slightly slanted to the right, balancing the diagonal placement of the emblem and evoking a sense of motion and dynamics
