Pornhub

Logo (2014-)


Visuals: On a black background, we see the orange "REC" with a blinking dot to the left of it. The text "flips" into a graphic of a laptop. An orange circle rises up on the laptop screen, followed by a black cursor overlapping it. The laptop flips away as the circle and cursor merge into an orange play button which gets inverted in color. A smaller cursor then appears clicking it, after which the Pornhub logo forms with "community" popping up letter by letter below.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A drum riff with a quiet bass backing, similar to the intro of the Toto song "Rosanna".

Availability: Virtually appears on every non-premium Pornhub videos.

Legacy: One of the most iconic logos of the adult entertainment industry, to the point where it has become an Internet meme.
