The Wordmark, the Lettering and the Art on Our Merch
Our merch is built from a few strong pieces of art. Here's what you'll find in the shop, and how to tell the designs apart.
What is the thornhill wordmark?
The blocky, lowercase thornhill is our name as we write it: heavy, square letters with no frills. It sits at the top of this store, and it's the simplest way to wear the band.
What else carries our name?
Not every design uses the same lettering. You'll find:
- The bird block: a dark bird with its wings spread over white clouds, boxed in a frame with THORNHILL in rough blue capitals underneath.
- Red blackletter: our name in jagged red blackletter, its letters dripping and splintering like something carved.
- Cracked glass: a close-up face in black, white and blue behind a cracked pane, with THORNHILL across the top, a column of stars down each side and I REFUSE TO THINK TWICE along the bottom.
What is REPTILE?
REPTILE is a design of thick, dripping letters in black outline, like paint running down a wall. It's loud, simple and easy to spot from across a room.
Front or back?
Most of our designs sit on the front. Some have a design on the back too, so the art carries all the way round. Each product page says what's on each side.
Black or white?
Every design comes on black and on white garments. The bold, dark art stands out on white; the brighter lettering pops on black. Look at the product photos to see how each one sits on both.
Which one is mine?
The one that looks like the record you play the most. Every design comes on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, with kids' and youth sizes too.
