Logo Design Trend: Conceptual

Dec 20, 2010

As a graphic designer, it is crucial to find the right balance between cutting edge and familiar. You want to present your client with something contemporary and unique, without looking too space-age – you still want them to understand what the heck you’re designing! Especially with the little space a logo affords, you need to convey the right message and explain just what you’re all about. That’s asking a lot for a little picture! Graphic design geniuses have been able to beautifully master this art using a number of techniques. Some of our favorite logo designs have employed conceptual tactics to create clever symbols out of ordinary objects to effectively reflect the company’s personality.  Take a look at the FedEx logo, for instance. Plain block text are played up by an almost inconspicuous arrow:

Conceptual designs are a personal favorite because they take advantage of negative space to evoke just the right reaction, after all, a conceptual logo is just a picture unless you can actually understand the message. Taking advantage of a “less is more” mentality, these logo designs are minimalistic but far from boring. Take for instance the Yoga Australia logo:

This logo represents exactly what the company represents. A woman doing a yoga pose. Simple enough, right? Look closely. Her pose is manipulated immaculately to reveal a silhouette of the country (and continent?) of Australia. We are fans of working outside of the box to create something truly unique. Effectively using tricks and design finesse is critical in making the overall concept work. A snazzy, out-of-the-ordinary logo design can surely set you apart from the rest, at least aesthetically. Most importantly, a creative logo can help facilitate brand recognition. What do Pepsi, Nike, and McDonald’s all have in common? They are recognized internationally through the use of a single symbol. Now there’s something to think about.

Logo Design Branding For Your Business

Dec 18, 2010

When you think about the elements of a successful business, you may think 1) an incredible business plan, 2) great management, and 3) tons of capital. True, the list illustrates very crucial aspects, but it is incomplete. One overlooked concept is the idea of effective branding; you can’t run a business if nobody knows who you are! To stand out, you need to be refreshingly different from the umpteen number of companies who are trying to steal their business away from you. In order to stand out in the crowd, your company needs an identity to highlight what you can offer than others can’t.

The fundamental purpose of business logo branding is to reflect the core values, goals, and to create a corporate image that the consumer will remember. Branding for your business is more important now than it ever was before. Today’s consumers have access to a plethora of information; the world is literally at your fingertips. Companies looking to expand are forced to consider methods of captivating the audience’s attention. Scott Bedbury published “A Brand New World” defining what a brand is and the tremendous effect it has on the public. Bedbury asserts that brands “are sponges for content, for images, for fleeting feelings. They become psychological concepts held in the minds of the public, where they may stay forever. As such you can't entirely control a brand. At best; you only guide and influence it.”

Business logos are one of the first elements a consumer comes across. The Starbucks icon, Microsoft’s window, and Apple’s… apple are testaments to the power of branding. Big companies are being defined by a single picture. What that picture represents is determined by what you make of it. When looking for a business logo, consider concepts that evoke trust, reliability, and individuality. When choosing a logo design company, make sure the final product reflects what your company is all about.

Custom Logo Design

Dec 09, 2010
Although it may not seem like it, a custom logo design is a fundamental element of any budding business. A well-designed logo is an emblem of the company and embodies the character, core values, and evokes a feeling of trust. As a visual representation of your company, you want your logo to be versatile. It needs to establish brand recognition while evoking familiarity. All too often, the concept of developing a solid small business logo is undervalued. This is one of the biggest mistakes a company can make. An unappealing or generic logo can compromise business identity or trust a user has of the company.
 
Below, we have highlighted key aspects to consider when creating an effective business logo:
Recognition – it must be unique enough to stand out, yet familiar enough to leave a lasting impression
Aesthetics – it must be visually pleasing. Your logo works as a visual representation of your company. Make sure it appealing to the masses.
Versatility – make sure your logo is adaptable to use across multiple media platforms (i.e. web, print, television)
Size – a too small logo dilutes the company’s image. In contrast, a logo that is too big is overwhelming.
 
When brainstorming a custom logo design or enlisting the help of professionals, consider the impact a well-designed logo has on user sentiment. Apple, Starbucks, Microsoft; these distinguished companies are easily recognized upon the first glimpse and invoke feelings of trust, quality, and success. Businesses allocate a large portion of their budgets to market their brand, but their efforts are futile without an identifiable image.
The art of creating an effective custom logo design may be a bit daunting if you are not familiar with logo development or you’re not exactly sure what type of design you want. If you find yourself stumped on how to create the finishing touch to your design, or if you just don’t know where to start, consider hiring professional designers to help you convey the proper message. Given the importance of a creative logo and the impact it can have on brand recognition, business owners need to consider employing the best methods in getting their message across.

Pepsi Logo Redesign

Jul 23, 2010

Logos form the brand identity of businesses. People recognize a business by its logo. There are many companies who don’t believe in changing their logos frequently as they think it could harm their brand image. But there are others who think otherwise. These companies come up with new concepts for their business logos to keep their clients interested and surprise them with a new look. Sometimes it works for them, sometimes it doesn’t. But these businesses are usually well established ones, who already have a strong brand identity and can afford to experiment. Pepsi is one such brand that has changed its logo several times over the years. Let’s see how. Caleb Bradham invented new flavors of soda fountain drinks back in 1890, to offer something new and refreshing to his customers. The drink became an instant success and people started calling it ‘Brads Drink’. In 1898, Bradham decide to name his product ‘Pepsi -Cola’. He used a scribbled logo script and introduced ‘Pepsi-Cola’ as his first logo. In 1906, the logo was modified and the slogan, “The Original Pure Food Drink” was added to it. The company was taken over by Loft, Inc., a giant candy company, in 1931. Pepsi Cola was sold for 10 cents in a 12 ounce bottle. At this time, the Pepsi bottle logo incorporated a new tagline, “Refreshing and Healthful”. This tagline was however dropped when the price of the soft-drink was reduced to 5 cents. A major change came over to the Pepsi logo in 1941, when they incorporated the colors red, blue and white to support the war. The logo underwent another transformation in the year 1973 and developed a boxed look. Minor typeface changes continued to take place over the next decade. In 1987, the logo font was slightly modified to a more rounded version. The company continued with this logo till 1991. In 1991, “Pepsi” adopted an italic capital typeface that was separated from the small blue and red Pepsi swirl. The fresh logo ran vertically up the package. Pepsi unveiled a new look in 1998. This logo comprised of a three dimensional globe against an ice-blue background. The globe signified the Pepsi family and its world leadership, as it entered the new millennium. In 2008, Pepsi re-worked its entire brand and also introduced another new logo, which is the current Pepsi logo. It has a minimalist label design that is simple yet appealing.  pepsi logo evolves

Renowned Car logos

Jul 10, 2010

Similar to all other businesses, car manufacturing companies need a logo to build their brand identity. Many car logos that we are familiar with have undergone little change since they were first designed. Companies come up with innovative logos to make their brand instantly recognizable and also to exemplify the special features of the vehicle. These logos generally appear at the front and back of the car.

BMW

BMW is a German automobile, motorcycle and engine manufacturing company. It was founded in 1916 and is the parent company of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It is best known for performance and luxury vehicles. The company was forced to stop manufacturing aircraft engine after World War I and shifted to motorcycle production, followed by automobiles in 1928-29. The BMW logo commonly known as the ‘roundel’ was introduced and registered in 1917. Though the logo is simple, smart and sporty in design, its meaning is steeped in controversy. This circular logo is divided into four equal quarters of blue and white. One interpretation of this is that it portrays the movement of an aircraft propeller, white blades cutting through the blue sky. This symbol evolved from the Rapp Motorenwerke company logo, from which the BMW Company grew. Another version of the story narrates the fact that it stands for the blue and white flag of the free state of Bavaria. bmw_logo

Ford

The Ford Motor Company is an American multinational corporation founded by Henry Ford in June, 1903. The company is based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Presently, Ford is the second largest automaker in the U.S. and fourth largest in the world in terms of number of vehicles sold annually. The new Ford logo was designed in 2003 for its hundredth birthday. It is known as Centennial Blue Oval and is a modern version of the original logo designed by C. Harold Will. The new logo uses a combination of light and dark shades of blue, while the earlier one used only a single blue shade. The logo stands for elegance, class and is easily recognizable because of its simplicity. ford-logo

Ferrari

Ferrari is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Italy. It was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as Scuderia Ferrari. The company is well known for its participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has been immensely successful. Ferrari uses a black prancing horse on yellow background as its logo, usually with letters ‘S’ and ‘F’ which stands for Scuderia Ferrari. This jumping stallion is known as ‘Rampante Cavallo’. This horse honors an Italian flying champion, Count Francesco Baracca, who lost his life in World War I and is believed to be a symbol of good luck. Ferrari-Logo2

Chevrolet

Chevrolet, also known as Chevy is General Motors’ (GM) highest selling brand. The company was founded by Louis Chevrolet and GM founder William C. Durant in November, 1911. In 1917, Chevrolet was acquired by GM. The origin of the Chevy logo, also known as the ‘bowtie’ logo, is under some dispute. According to some, Louis himself came up with the design being inspired by the Swiss Cross. Others are of the opinion that it was created by Durant after seeing a wallpaper pattern in a French hotel. The two dominant colors used in the logo are golden yellow for background and black for the text. These bold and attractive colors add a young and energetic feel to the logo while the shape makes it appear decent and classy.   chevy_logo

Simple Logo Designs― A Collection

Jun 07, 2010

We will all agree to the fact that anything that is simple is also easily memorable. As the purpose of having a business logo is to build brand identity and recognition, a simple logo design can do it best. It stands as the representative of your company and makes it easier for clients to remember your business. If there are too many elements in the design craving for attention, one would not know which one to appreciate. So, it is always advisable to go for simple logo designs that are easily understandable. You can clearly get your business message across only when the logo is simple yet meaningful. Let’s go through a few such logos that have minimalistic designs but have worked wonders for their companies.

Nike Logo

Nike is an enormously popular U.S. based sportswear and equipment supplier. It is the world’s largest seller of athletic shoes and apparel.

The Nike swoosh is one of the most simplistic and easily recognizable logos in the world. It was designed in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student at Portland State University.

Over the years Nike has tried out different colors but it has never parted with it’s swoosh logo. Nike Logo       

McDonald’s Logo

The logo forms an ‘M’ by merging two golden arches. The letter stands for the company’s name while the yellow arches represent its grace and strong corporate identity. It is a great example that shows how a simple letter or symbol is capable of sustaining an entire brand. mcdonalds-logo

The WWF is an international organization working on issues related to conservation, research and protection of environment.

Though it is one of the most simplistic brand logos, it has several interpretations. The “bitten” apple symbolizes seduction and is also linked to the Bible, as the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. It is also said that the bite was added to the apple to distinguish it from a cherry. apple-logo

Human Face Inspired Logos

May 01, 2010

A human face can reveal several ideas. Human face logos are becoming more and more popular by the day. This is because a face is easily recognizable and it becomes convenient for the people to remember it. Many companies use human face logos but one must remember that the selection is not random. A lot of thought and innovation goes into the creation of these logos and each conveys a different meaning. In this article I have rounded up a number of logos that have used the human face in a creative way. One has to see them carefully to get the story behind each face.

KFC

KFC is also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken and is based in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a chain of fast food restaurants, famous for its fried chicken.

The KFC logo has had the face of the Colonel since its birth and still continues with the same. The face has become the brand identity of the company. In its initial days, his face was a bit serious and he wore a white suit jacket. But now we find the Colonel smiling; he has also exchanged his suit for a cook’s apron. This gives a friendly appeal to the company―they seem to be happy to serve! kfc

The Story Behind The Creation Of Our Favorite Superhero Logos

Apr 17, 2010

Superheroes are men who save our world from the enemies and we simply adore them. Right from our childhood, we have grown up watching them fight against the evil and somewhere down the heart all of us wanted to be like them. In spite of all their heroic qualities, the fact can’t be denied that they too need an identity. As our superheroes don’t have a recognizable face, they need some way to be identified. The superhero logos give this identity to our heroes and also help in distinguishing one character from the other. The superhero logos don’t necessarily need to have a name because their fans can identify them as they are. The logos generally tend to express their special qualities or characteristics. In this article we will go through a few famous superhero logos and see how successfully they reveal the character of our favorite heroes.

The Batman Logo

The character of Batman, originally referred to as ‘the Bat-Man’, was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. It was first published by the Detective Comics on May 1939. Batman became a popular character soon after his introduction and acquired his own comic book, titled Batman in 1940. Since then, Batman has been adapted into several media such as radio, television series, movies and also appears on a variety of merchandise sold all over the world. The Batman logo is a dark oval shape, on a yellow backdrop that draws attention. The bat represents the name of the superhero. The inclusive oval shape also hints at the fact that unlike most of the other superheroes, he doesn’t have any actual superpower. He uses his own intellect, detective skills, physical strength and technology to fight against crime. batman logo

The Superman Logo

Superman is another fictional character making its first appearance in the DC Comics publication, in June 1938. It was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster and gained immediate popularity after its publication. The superman logo was designed by its creators and they thought that the first letter ‘S’ of the character’s name would be perfect for this purpose. Interestingly, the logo is said to have certain connections with history, science and literature. How? Let’s find out…. The Superman logo is an inverted yellow pentagon with the red letter ‘S’ inside it. This elegant diamond-like shape of the logo reflects the dominant and the influential nature of the superhero. The red color in the logo symbolizes the red sun in Superman’s planet Krypton and the yellow stands for the sunlight in our planet. Superman’s powers are activated by the red sun of Krypton and the yellow sun of the earth. It is also interesting to note that the letter ‘S’ stands not only for Superman but also for Saving lives, Stopping crime and providing Super-aid when necessary. Superman still continues with the same logo with subtle variations. Superman-Logo

The Spiderman Logo

Spiderman, the famous Marvel Comics superhero is the creation of writer and editor Stan Lee, along with writer and artist Steve Ditko. It first appeared in August 1962 and today features in comic strips and has been made into a film series. Spiderman is famous for his strength, agility and his ability to cling on to surfaces, using his “web-shooters”. He can also react to danger quickly because of his “spider senses”. The Spiderman logo defines all of these qualities. The logo features a spider, with a strong background of web, which resembles the major strengths of Spiderman. The red background of the logo resembles the alert nature of the superhero, while the silver-grey spider adds to the elegance of his personality. spiderman-3-transformation

The Flash Logo

The Flash is a name shared by many fictional comic book superheroes from DC Comics. The original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in January 1940. It was created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert. All the incarnations of Flash possess unique qualities like super speed and extraordinary reflexes. In their ability to run and move extremely fast, they seem to defy the laws of physics. In the Flash logo, we again see the extensive use of the colors red and yellow. The yellow lightening streak, inside a red box defines the hero’s superhuman speed and also gives the logo a bold appeal. The pointed edges of the lightening streak are included within a white circle that stands for friendliness. The-Flash-logo-design

The Wonder Woman Logo Design

In the 1940s, when the DC Comics was dominated by male superheroes like Green Lantern, Batman and most importantly Superman, Wonder Woman was introduced as a DC Comic super heroine. She made her first appearance in All Star Comics #8 in December 1941. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston as a feminist role model for bringing love, peace and sexual equality to the world. The Wonder Woman logo has a powerful ‘W’ inscribed within an oval shape. This ‘W’ not only stands for her name but also has the shape of a flying bird with bold wings. This connotes her greatest superhuman ability, that of flight.  The use of the red, white and blue colors, along with the white stars has patriotic overtones and is also in tune with the Wonder Woman’s costume. Wonder-Woman-logo-design

The Fantastic Four Logo

The Fantastic Four is the first superhero ‘team’ to attract the attention of the audience. It first appeared in The Fantastic Four #1, published by Marvel Comics. It was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961. The four individuals, who make up the Fantastic Four, gained their powers as a result of an exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to the outer space. In contrast to preceding superhero conventions, the Fantastic Four make no attempt to hide their identity. Instead, they maintain a high public profile and enjoy celebrity status on the account of their contribution to the society. The Fantastic Four logo has a circle which contains the number ‘4’ in blue. The circle is a family symbol and the number ‘4’ represents the four characters of the team. Due to the presence of four different individuals, it was not possible to highlight any particular feature in the logo. So they stuck to the number ‘4’. Although the Fantastic Four logo has used different color patterns over the years, the present blue color scheme seems to be the most suitable. The-Fantastic-Four-logo-design

X-Men Logo

The X-Men are another superhero team created by Lee and Kirby. They were first published in The X-Men #1 by Marvel Comics, in 1963. The X-Men are a group of six, who possess superhuman powers because they were born with the”X-gene”, which normal human beings lack. This “X-gene” is an unknown gene which is said to cause mutant evolution and is the source of power for the X-Men. The comics originally dealt with common ideals of the good versus the evil, but later on introduced the theme of racism and prejudice in it. The X-Men logo bears the name of the superhero group, with a strong light at the center, which might stand for the light of knowledge and power. The letter ‘X’ is centered in the logo in such a way that it can’t be scene wholly and is in huge focus. This creates a larger than life impression that suits this group of superheroes perfectly. Also the use of the shining, grey color makes the logo look simple, yet attractive. X-Men-logo-design

The Green Lantern Logo

The Green Lantern was created by Martin Nodell and Bill Finger. He first appeared in the All –American Comics #16, in July 1940. It was published by All-American Publications, which was one of the three companies that merged to form the DC Comics. The Green Lantern possesses a powerful ring that can control the physical world, as long as the user has the will power and the strength to use it. It is said to be the most powerful weapon in the universe. This ring has to be charged in every 24 hours by touching it to the lantern for a period of time. The color of the Green Lantern logo is green, as expected.  The central shape of the logo is that of a stylized lantern. The presence of the multiple circles in the logo is suggestive of the powerful ring that the superhero possesses.  The-Green-Lantern-logo-design
