Logo summary
About the Tim Hortons Logo
Introduction
A red signature, scrawled like an autograph on a hockey card — the Tim Hortons logo is one man’s handwriting turned into a national institution. In Canada it is less a logo than a landmark.
Brand Overview
Tim Hortons is a Canadian coffeehouse and restaurant chain founded in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1964 by NHL hockey player Tim Horton, whose first restaurant sold coffee and doughnuts. Headquartered in Toronto, it grew into Canada’s largest quick-service restaurant chain — thousands of restaurants across more than a dozen countries — and is now part of Restaurant Brands International. For generations of Canadians, the “double-double” and the Timbit are cultural shorthand. Its official website is timhortons.com.
History of the Tim Hortons Logo
The chain’s marks began as simple signage for a hockey player’s doughnut shop, but the identity that stuck is the signature: the wordmark is drawn from Tim Horton’s own autograph, a flowing script that has fronted the chain for decades. A 2018 refresh cleaned the strokes and regularised the letterforms for digital use while keeping the handwritten character intact — the version in this download. The apostrophe-free name and the confident red have made the signature one of the most recognised marks in Canadian life.
Meaning of the Logo
- The signature: A founder’s autograph as a logo — a personal promise from a beloved hockey hero, printed on every cup.
- Tim Hortons red: A warm, confident red that doubles as a Canadian colour — the chain and the country share a palette.
- The flowing script: Casual and human in a category of corporate sans-serifs — the handwriting of a neighbourhood shop, at national scale.
