The logo of Hobart Brothers, a manufacturer of welding consumables, consists of a round symbol and the brand name with a subline. The circle is divided horizontally into an orange upper section and a gray lower section, with a central cutout shaped like a pointed drop with its tip facing upward. To the right, the brand name is set in large orange uppercase sans-serif letters with bold geometric forms. Adjacent letters touch and partially overlap at the edges, creating a unified wordmark. Below it, the subline “FILLER METALS” appears in smaller gray uppercase letters with wide letter spacing. An all-white version of the logo may be used on dark backgrounds. The name Hobart comes from the surname of the company’s founder, Charles Clarence Hobart.
