Introduction
No space, no fuss — Crate&Barrel, set in one bold, tight wordmark. The Crate and Barrel logo is a single line of confident type that has fronted America’s housewares stores since the 1960s.
Brand Overview
Crate and Barrel is an international furniture and home-décor retailer founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1962 by Gordon Segal and Carole Segal. Headquartered today in Northbrook, Illinois, the company — now part of the Otto Group — runs more than 100 stores in the United States and Canada plus franchises worldwide. Its official website is crateandbarrel.com.
History of the Crate and Barrel Logo
The first store opened on December 7, 1962, in an old elevator factory in Chicago’s Old Town. With no budget for fixtures, the Segals displayed their European imports on the wooden crates and barrels they arrived in — and named the store after them. The wordmark followed the same philosophy: direct, sturdy, and practical. Set in a bold grotesque with the ampersand binding the two words into one unit, it has barely changed in six decades.
Meaning of the Logo
- The name itself: A true story in two words — merchandise presented on its own shipping crates.
- The ampersand lockup: “Crate&Barrel” with no spaces: compact and industrial, like a stencil on a packing case.
- The bold sans: Workmanlike type that lets the product photography supply the elegance.
Crate and Barrel Logo Colors
| Color | Hex Code | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Warm Black | #231F20 | The wordmark (sampled from the logo artwork) |
| White | #FFFFFF | Backgrounds and reversed applications |
The near-black wordmark sits on white everywhere from storefronts to shipping boxes — a deliberately neutral frame for a colorful catalogue.
Conclusion
Born from an empty budget and a pile of packing crates, Crate and Barrel’s logo proves that a good story, set in bold type, never needs redecorating.
