History of the Faber-Castell Logo
The two knights on horseback, lances crossed in a joust, have symbolised the brand since the early 1900s — a heraldic promise of quality ‘fighting’ for the customer. The current master, refined in 2018, keeps the knights above the small-capital wordmark with the proud line ‘since 1761’ beneath.
Meaning of the Faber-Castell Logo
- The jousting knights: two riders in combat stand for craftsmanship defended — quality as a chivalric duty.
- The small capitals: the refined serif caps carry the tone of an 18th-century counting house: established, exact, unhurried.
- The deep ink tone: the near-black navy master prints like pencil graphite’s polished cousin — sober and premium.
