What to know about Ecko Unltd.

Graffiti roots, rhino logo

Marc Ecko started in 1993 with six spray-painted T-shirts; the rhino mark and 1990s hip-hop-era logo graphics still drive most of the range.

A licensed trademark now

Iconix owns the name and licenses it to manufacturers and retailers worldwide, so product and quality come from licensees rather than one in-house design studio.

Cheap Y2K logo basics

Graphic tees, hoodies and fleece sit at the low end of the price tier, with denim, outerwear, caps and the Ecko Red women's line filling out the rest.
