2015
The year Forbury Direct was founded. We had planned to establish our headquarters in England, so we added the name ‘England’ to our logotype. Soon we received a lot of criticism, that the image of the lion did not look much like a lion at all. It is funny, but some people thought it was the image of a dog 🙂
2015-2017
2017
Our brand was actively developing, and we already had distributors in different European countries, as well as a permanent representative in England. Yet, we decided to remove the name ‘England’ from our logo and also slightly stretch the body of the lion, making it look more like a lion than a dog.
2017-2022
2022
During the 7 years of our development we have noticed that many customers, buying our products, use the shorter version ‘Forbury’ instead of ‘Forbury Direct’. So, we also decided to shorten our name to ‘Forbury’, and change the lion again. We very much hope that this will be the final version.
2022 – present
