For sink faucets, look at the front of the spout. The logo may also be on the base of the spout, where it meets the sink, either on the front or the back.

Sometimes believe it or not the valve can be put in upside down. So, when the shower is on and the water is coming out of the showerhead you also see water coming out of your spout. But, a tiny drip is normal.
