1994 — Today
The TK Maxx logo, designed in 1994, is composed of a heavy geometric sans-serif inscription with an interesting placement of the characters. The first two capital letters, “T” and “K” have two solid circles — one between the characters, and the second one on the right from the “K”, separating this part from an enlarged lowercase “Maxx”, which has its two “X”s overlapping each other. All elements of the logo are set in solid red.
Font and color
The stylized heavy inscription from the primary badge of the TK Maxx chain is set in a custom geometric sans-serif typeface with massive rounded-contoured characters. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, Slug Single, or Black Crow Semi Bold, but with some significant modifications.
As for the color palette of the TK Maxx visual identity, it is composed of just one shade — Dee and bright red; which stands for passion, strength, and professionalism, and makes the company stand out in the list of its competitors.
