About Hobby Lobby Logo Vector
Hobby Lobby has been using the same wordmark for its official logo. The logotype, which has been redesigned twice, is now the most minimalist and strict form, with the brightest blue color combination.
The current Hobby Lobby logo is a bold blue inscription in capital letters of a classic extra-strong sans-serif font. When used on a white background, the logo may be complemented by a navy script “Super Savings. Super Selection!” Tagline.
The logo is intended to communicate the company’s Christian values and its commitment to quality arts and crafts products. The green color is meant to represent nature and the outdoors, while the blue is intended to connote trust, stability, and reliability. The Hobby Lobby logo has been praised for its simplicity and timelessness. It has also been criticized for its lack of creativity and for being too generic.
