THIS IS A DEFINITIVE MOMENT. IT’S MUCH BIGGER THAN A LOGO CHANGE. THIS IS

leaning into that perfect corner, clearing a first jump,

the rumble of an engine coming down the road, or

the feeling you get when trying on that perfect fitting

leather jacket. This new symbol represents the pride

and strength of a company built on speed and reliability.

It’s time to show that we are a powerhouse, that we are

a world-class distributor.

We provide on-time distribution to powersports dealers

with the most profitable and relevant portfolio of

products, the latest technology and unparalleled

services, to help them enhance the consumer

experience and grow their business. We offer the best

customer support, an unrelenting team of sales reps,

warehouses that take pride in delivering the best

brands, and employees who believe in the sense of

freedom found in riding a motorcycle.

The new brand identity takes the best elements of

Tucker’s heritage, represented by its colors and the

Tucker “T,” and transforms them for a new era. At its

most basic level, the new logo is a visual statement

that honors our history and reflects an identity that

stands for simplicity, honesty and passion in a category

where innovation thrives but change is sometimes

frowned upon. It’s a cleaner, more human design and the

angled “T” becomes a symbol for getting things done,

uniquely expressing the forward thinking of Tucker. The

symbol now represents accuracy and speed which is the

staple in distribution. This logo encompasses our future,

the strength of our team and who we are. It’s time to

pound our chest and let it be known we are world-class.

IN 1967 ED TUCKER STARTED A SMALL BUSINESS SELLING MOTOR OIL OUT OF THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR. With his unrelenting drive

and hustle he quickly grew the company. After several

mergers and acquisitions he acquired a company by the

name of Rocky Cycles. Over the next 50+ years Tucker

became a leading distributor in the powersports industry.

CREATING A LOGO THAT ENCOMPASSED WHO WE AREWAS THE MOTIVATION.

THE INITIAL LOGO DESIGN COMPLETELY CHANGED WHEN Rocky was dropped from the

company name. Just “Tucker” has undeniably been

adopted as standard use when referring to our company

and resonates with our audience. After establishing a

final name, logo development moved forward with three

distinct directions (bold, abstract, symbolic) exploring

a wide array of possibilities. Actual powersports

traits such as audacity and speed were incorporated.

Exploring many different logo designs led us to pay a

tribute to 1973. By taking the notion of a friendly, yet

impactful ‘t” we pushed it further and flipped it on it’s

head. The strength is now represented in the capitalized

“T” while our friendly demeanor is shown in the name.

THE LOGOA BOLDER, MODERN, FRIENDLIER VERSION OF OUR PAST.

Our new logo is bold. A single “T” silhouetted by a bright

cherry red demands attention like the unparalleled

brands and services we provide our customers. It is what

keeps us ahead of the competition. Similar to the points

leader in a motocross race, our logo helps our company

stand out in any market. A need for speed is the lifeblood

of both powersports and distribution and is critical to

the logo’s new design. A dynamic slant and speed hatch

mark in the “T” create the visual illusion of movement

that represents the sublime feeling of freedom that

we live and sell at Tucker. We love fast and we always

strive to deliver our customer’s orders on time. The

uncapped tucker at the base of the logo contrasts with

the aggressive “Power T”. It’s friendly, young and inviting

and represents our dedication to being a partner and a

service provider to enthusiasts around the world.

LOGOWhen placed on a dark or colored background the logo

with a white box around it should be used never invert

the logo.

For the logo to stand out, there needs to be enough

contrast for it to be seen. To determine whether to use

the black or white logo, convert the background color to

grayscale. If the resulting grayscale color is 40% black or

less, use the black logo.

Using the logo incorrectly can introduce confusion and

inconsistency in the Tucker brand. The examples on this
