For nearly eight decades, the Klipsch logo has stood as a mark of authenticity, innovation, and uncompromising sound. From its earliest design to today’s refined emblem, the logo reflects our journey. It’s more than a symbol; it’s the promise of legendary audio.
Klipsch & Associates, Inc. - First logo
Paul W. Klipsch hand-lettered this logo in Hope, AR for the Klipsch factory sign after the end of WWII. The sign still exists, and is on display at the Klipsch Engineering Center in Indianapolis. Note: Initially there were no associates, just PWK, even though it was stated as such
This logo was adopted throughout the early 1970s, usually accompanied by the phrase "Loudspeaker Systems". The tight kerning, playful letter shapes, and serifs projected a groovy aesthetic. Klipsch's advertising at the time certainly followed that theme, often utilizing a "bachelor pad" setting for photoshoots.
After the sale of Klipsch & Associates to Paul Klipsch's cousin (Fred Klipsch), the new owners wanted to rebrand the company with a fresh start and a nod to the past. The existing block logo was modified to commemorate the change. A capital "K" replaced the previous lower case k, and the original PWK logo was incorporated out of respect for the founder.
Today, Klipsch sports a throwback logo of playful script that harkens back to our roots from the dawn of hifi. The mark is actually a section of Paul W. Klipsch's handwritten type for the original Klipschorn® - as shown in our first brochure. Klipsch art director Kat Short modified the design to create this new one, which is now used as the primary mark for the company and its products.
