In the 1980s, it was the house font for album cover text at RCA Records. It is also sold as 'Informal 851' by Bitstream. The font family consists of 4 weights at 1 width each, with complementary italic. The face follows ITC's design formulary of an extremely high x-height, combined with multiple widths and weights. Both faces are loosely based upon typefaces of the Art Nouveau period but are not considered academic revivals. In the free space between them is written the full name of the organization (“FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION”) and the name of the structure to which it belongs (“DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE”).ITC Benguiat Gothic is a sans-serif variant for the original serif font family. Behind the stars are two yellow rings of different diameters. They are located at a central distance and symbolize the joining of efforts to achieve a common goal. The central elements are enclosed in a chain of 13 yellow five-pointed stars. The 46 leaves corresponded to the number of states when the Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded. The designers have detailed the leaves so they can be counted.
Laurel branches are depicted on both sides of the inscription – the personification of glory, respect, and honor. He briefly describes the moral qualities of the FBI special agents. The motto “FIDELITY, BRAVERY, INTEGRITY,” previously located in the ring, is now written on an unfolded scroll inside the circle.
The bowls are frozen at the same level, which indicates balance. In the upper part of the shield, there are scales – a symbol of justice. Such a quantitative ratio is not accidental because it references the national flag of the United States, where there are one more red stripes than white ones. At the bottom, five vertical lines are alternating in color: two white and three red.
There is a heraldic shield in the center of the logo, which is divided into two parts.
