Weapon brands are the names and logos of the in-game companies that make the weapons in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Unlike the brands for gear, weapon brands do not have any influence on abilities.


Splat

File:Brand "Splat".png

This brand is most likely the first weapon brand a player encounters in Splatoon since this brand is the maker of the S Weapon Main Splattershot Jr..png Splattershot Jr., the starting weapon.

More than just providing the starting weapon, the Splat brand is generally aimed towards beginners. Most of their weapons are unlocked early and usually have the first weapon available of the different main weapon classifications.

The brand has a very unified look, based on water toy guns. The weapons feature bright, plastic colours of light green, dark green and red. The exceptions to this aesthetic are the Splattershot Jr. and S Weapon Main Splattershot Pro.png Splattershot Pro series, but nonetheless, have a clear toy gun inspiration like the rest. Another attribute that the Splat weapons share is that most of them feature the word 'Splat' in one way or another. The conjectural name 'Splat' has been assumed from this theme. Despite falling into this pattern with its English name, the S2 Weapon Main Splat Brella.png Splat Brella is not part of this brand - in Japanese, its prefix is different than the other weapons named Splat.

In Splatoon 2, the company's designs are less colourful and more stylised, and instead of preferring bright green colors, they prefer purple, dark green and dark blue or purple colors.

The Splat brand is known for their collaborations with popular gear brands, such as Tentatek Tentatek, Forge Forge and Firefin Firefin. The alternate sets of their different weapons consists mainly of these collaborations.

Deco

File:Brand Deco.png

The Deco brand focuses on creating weapons with chic, fashionable designs with a slight athletic vibe to them. However, some of their weapons are based on things found around the house, such as the S2 Weapon Main Bloblobber.png Bloblobber being a bathtub and the S2 Weapon Main Glooga Dualies.png Glooga Dualies being glue guns. Their weapons consist mainly of black or grey, with bright colours used as accents. Many of them include various patterns or shapes on them. The Deco weapons are mostly made of either carbon fiber or plastic of high-end quality. Another common characteristic of the Deco weapons is that big water cooler bottles are found on them, and are used as ink tanks for some of their bigger weapons.

The suffix 'Deco' is short for either 'Decorated' or 'Decoration'.

The alternate sets of their main weapons have the suffix 'Deco' and are decorated with either patterned rhinestones or yellow arrow stickers.

Dolphin

The Dolphin brand features weapons based on common, water-related household items, such as products for cleaning and gardening.

The alternate sets of their Nozzlenose series have the suffix 'D' and are decorated with a clip of a dolphin logo. 'Dolphin' is a conjectural name assumed from this sticker.

The dolphin may be a reference to the 'Dolphin' codename for the Nintendo GameCube.

Neo

File:Brand Neo.png
S2 Brand Neo.png

The Neo brand weapons are based on utilities. Their S Weapon Main Splash-o-matic.png Splash-o-matic series is a fusion of a marker and tattoo pen with a steampunk aesthetic, and the S Weapon Main Luna Blaster.png Luna Blaster series is a hair dryer with a futuristic aesthetic. The S Weapon Main Sloshing Machine.png Sloshing Machine series is a washing machine with a modern aesthetic. The S2 Weapon Main Clash Blaster.png Clash Blaster is an electric pencil sharpener (with crayons as ammo), also with a modern aesthetic.

Outside of their weapon manufacturing, the Neo company are also shown to be a construction company. It has construction sites at various locations in Splatoon, with their mascot known as the "Slow Your Roll" Mole. The stage Hammerhead Bridge is one of them, and will be the largest bridge in Inkopolis when completed. However, it is implied by Callie and Marie that the construction has been stalling for quite some time, for unknown reasons. The Tutorial Area also has two apartments under construction, both adorned with two signs with the Neo logo and text. The company also was responsible for the redesign of Urchin Underpass in August 2015, Starfish Mainstage in September 2018 and The Reef in November 2018.

The alternate sets of their main weapons have the word 'Neo' as a suffix or prefix and are decorated with a sticker of their logo. The S Weapon Main Sloshing Machine Neo.png Sloshing Machine Neo's in-game description describes this sticker as "sweet".

In Splatoon 2, their icon has changed to a more simplified look with fewer letters, as seen in the promotional images. However, the Splash-o-matic, S Weapon Main Sploosh-o-matic.png Sploosh-o-matic and their variants keep the original logo, with their designs unchanged from Splatoon.

Nouveau

File:Brand Nouveau.png

The Nouveau brand consists of weapons based on brushes and accompanying art supplies. Their weapons are made almost entirely with light materials, such as plastic or wood, with some metal pieces holding them together or functioning as grips.

Their weapons favor high mobility and rapid movement across stages. The S Weapon Sub Disruptor.png Disruptor and S2 Weapon Sub Toxic Mist.png Toxic Mist, on the other hand, focuses on restricting the opponent's movement instead. Either way, the player is given an advantage in mobility. The Nouveau main weapons generally have rather short range in favor of wider coverage.

The alternate sets of their main weapons have the suffix 'Nouveau' and are decorated with a white sticker, with red and black text written in Inkling.

Custom

File:Brand Custom.png

The Custom brand is home to many of the heavy-hitters in Splatoon. Their main weapons also boast impressive range or power, sometimes even featuring both. As a downside, most of them also have low ink efficiency and low mobility.

The Custom brand weapons are in general unlocked late and may take time to master.

The brand features a heavy industrial aesthetic to their weapons, with lots of metal parts, huge tanks, and wiring. Most of their weapons seem to consist of various forged items and tools that have been modified and turned into weapons, such as gas pumps (the S Weapon Main E-liter 3K.png E-liter 3K series), fire hydrants (the S Weapon Main Hydra Splatling.png Hydra Splatling series), and loudspeakers (the S Weapon Special Killer Wail.png Killer Wail).

The alternate sets of their main weapons have the prefix 'Custom' and are decorated with a sticker of their logo, or a differently colored variant of it. Despite falling into this pattern with its English name, the S Weapon Main Custom Splattershot Jr..png Custom Splattershot Jr. is not part of this brand - in Japanese, its suffix is different than the other weapons named Custom.

Ammo Knights

File:Brand Ammo Knights.png

The Ammo Knights brand features the in-house weapons from Sheldon's weapon shop, Ammo Knights. While Sheldon has modified weapons of other brands to create new weapon sets for his shop, the Ammo Knights brand weapons are solely created from the blueprints of his grandfather, Ammoses Shellendorf.

Both of the Ammo Knights series have a very mechanical look to them and are seemingly made entirely out of metal parts. Each weapon has parts that have been spray-painted in either chrome or gold.

Nintendo

File:Brand Nintendo.png

The Nintendo weapon brand is an outlier among the weapon brands since it is the only one that exists in the real world. It only has one series of main weapons, the N-ZAPs. These are based on the different versions of the NES Zapper, the S Weapon Main N-ZAP '85.png N-ZAP '85 and S Weapon Main N-ZAP '89.png N-ZAP '89 being based off the versions of the NES Zapper before and after it was modified to not resemble a real gun in 1989. The only Nintendo-branded special weapon, the S2 Weapon Special Splat-Bomb Launcher.png Splat-Bomb Launcher, is based on the Ultra Machine, a toy made by Nintendo in 1967.

Sheldon's Picks

File:Brand Sheldon's Picks.png
Main article: Sheldon's Picks

The Sheldon's Picks brand contains recolored variants of other main weapons. Each primary weapon comes with a new kit, creating a third variant of each. In Splatoon, weapons in this range were released in two volumes.

The Sheldon's Picks range returned in Splatoon 2 in Version 4.6.0, though weapons which overlapped with the Kensa Collection (The Splattershot, Splat Roller, Splat Charger, Splatterscope, Splattershot Pro, Mini Splatling and Dynamo Roller) were excluded, leaving ten weapons from the original collection. In addition, two new weapons were added to the range, variants for weapons that did not exist in Splatoon, for a final total of twelve weapons.

Foil

S2 Brand Foil.png

The Foil brand was one of the weapon brands introduced in Splatoon 2. The alternate sets of their main weapons have the prefix 'Foil' and are decorated with either a black and white Inkling sticker or an orange and white triangular one with black text. Foil brand weapons have some type of dual functionality in their operation, as symbolized by the arrow symbol pointing to both sides in their logo.

Sorella

S2 Brand Sorella.png

The Sorella brand is one of the weapon brands in Splatoon 2.

This company makes weapons based on umbrellas that are both offensive and defensive depending on how long the player holds ZR. The alternate versions of their weapons have the prefix or suffix 'Sorella' and have a different pattern.

Signs in Arowana Mall and Kelp Dome and shipping containers in Port Mackerel and Walleye Warehouse are found with Sorella's name and logo on them. Sorella's name is also found on the bump and on the basket's top in Clam Blitz.

Auto

AutoBrand.png

The Auto brand is one of the weapon brands in Splatoon 2.

The only weapon currently made by this company is the S2 Weapon Sub Autobomb.png Autobomb. Their logo appears to be a humpback whale, possibly in reference to the whale's "singing" being similar to the Autobomb's sonar.

This company makes vessels to navigate or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels.

Grizzco Industries

S2 Brand Grizzco.png

Grizzco Industries is a company in Splatoon 2 run by Mr. Grizz. During wildcard rotations of Salmon Run, one of Mr. Grizz's personal weapons are "accidentally" added to the mix. Grizzco weapons are heavily (and possibly illegally) modified versions of normal weapons with much more powerful stats. Grizzco Industries weapons have a heavy industrial appearance, with brushed metal bodywork, exposed wiring and thick piping, as well as household object such as prescription bottles, giving the impression of DIY construction.

Tentatek

Main article: Tentatek

Normally a gear brand, Tentatek also creates weapons of its own, in addition to their collaboration with Splat for the S2 Weapon Main Tentatek Splattershot.png Tentatek Splattershot. Similar to their clothes, their independently created weapons are brightly colored and sports-themed.

The designs of Kensa Collection weapons evoke a sense of high fashion; in keeping with the plain and monochrome style of Toni Kensa gear, Kensa Collection weapons all share a stark black and white color scheme, along with a dark red clothes peg fastened somewhere on the weapon's body.

'Vending machines' company

S Vending Machines Logo.png

In Splatoon, a 'vending machine's (じはんき, Jihanki) company logo appears on vending machines and on containers with drinks. In Splatoon 2, this logo no longer appears on vending machines, appearing on two weapons instead: the S2 Weapon Special Inkjet.png Inkjet and the S2 Weapon Special Tenta Missiles.png Tenta Missiles. It can be noted that the Tenta Missiles seem to be soda bottles fired out of a rocket launcher.
