What makes a product successful? This simply is determined by factors that nobody else than the brand-owner can decide. That being said, some things definitely give a hint that you\u2019re on the right track, for instance; high number of sales, mentions in the news, and the emotional factor – how lovable is your brand?<\/p>\n

No matter which way you look at it, it’s likely that none of the above can be achieved if your brand does not meet the simple entry requirement: is it being recognized? This brand recognition <\/strong>is crucial for even being able to start building a simple relationship. Think of your brand as a human being, if you don\u2019t know they exist how will you ever be able to have any relationship with them? With brands one of the most simplistic and iconic building blocks is the logo, often paired with the brand icon. Think of Nike, Apple or Coca-Cola<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Businesses open and close, fashion comes and goes, the whole world changes every day. However, if a company\u2019s logo is eye-catching, it can be easily memorable and may even leave its mark in history forever.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of examples of famous brands changing their logos. Why would they do that if the brands were established, well-known and customers recognized them at the very first sight? The answer is simple – changing logo trends<\/strong>. No business wants to have an outdated look, especially among young and new competing brands.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will dive into the main 2019 logo trends to find out how to be on top of the branding game.<\/p>\n

Simplicity and Minimalism<\/h2>\n

There is a common belief that life nowadays is very complicated. That\u2019s why we use so many gadgets that are supposed to make our daily routine easier. We are overwhelmed with information which is one of the reasons why even logos aim to keep things simple.<\/p>\n

This is often what we refer to as \u2018iconisation\u2019. This means that we eliminate all the unneeded items, until the most simplistic and stripped back version remains. If your brand is still recognised in this \u2018bare basic\u2019 form, congratulations!<\/p>\n

These simple lines and fonts are a new trend. Icons become as flat as possible and they take limited space. Sometimes brands go as far as deleting any words in the logo to leave only a simple symbol. It\u2019s a rather wise trend considering that our brains prefer visualization to text, as they are easier to process, and the eyes don\u2019t need to see the full item in order to create a full picture. This means the full brand actually lives in your mind!<\/p>\n

\"Simplicity<\/p>\n

\"Instagram<\/p>\n

\"Subway<\/p>\n

One of the modern trends in logo design is the use of handwritten typography, also called script, this completely deviatiates from classic serif fonts. This makes the product appear as more personal to the client as it resembles his or her own handwriting of the brand\u2019s name.
\n\"Handwritten<\/p>\n

Make It Bold<\/h2>\n

If your logo has a recognizable icon – the next steps are really simple: remove all the words, make the icon as flat as you can and voila: your design is trendy!<\/p>\n

But what if your logo doesn\u2019t have any graphic symbols and consists of words only? In such a case, you should make everything go bold, just like Google did.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/p>\n

Think of it this way- a bold logo doesn\u2019t just shout to the world about its existence, it also shows the world that it\u2019s proud and confident. Think of your logo as a person and you will think of a bold logo as a tall person standing with straight shoulders, ready to take on the world.

A Beautiful Mind<\/h2>\n

In spite of the tendency to incorporate simplicity, very simple logo design<\/a>\u00a0may create an opposite effect – the logo may appear uncreative and\u2026 boring. The solution? Optical illusions and eye teasing pictures.<\/p>\n

\"Paint<\/p>\n

Let your logo design play a little bit with the customer\u2019s imagination. Who doesn\u2019t like riddles? Once a person figures out the meaning behind your logo, he or she will never forget your icon. Moreover, any similar images will probably remind them of your brand!<\/p>\n

Paint It Up!<\/h2>\n

Modern life is not that bright, especially for those who spend most of their day in an office. Therefore, everybody wants to see more colors around which is one of the reasons why colorful logos are trendy in 2019.<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought, why McDonald\u2019s logo features yellow and, for example, Google has multiple colors? According to various psychological surveys, each color has a different influence on a person. The mentioned yellow stands for \u201chappiness\u201d while multiple colors make us think of diversity.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/p>\n

Think of it this way, the shape determines the brand & makes it recognizable, whereas the color adds emotion! It\u2019s up to you to decide which emotion you would like to create for your brand!<\/p>\n

Old but Gold<\/h2>\n

The word \u201crebranding\u201d may sound like a sentence used only by well-established companies operating for a relatively long time. Although the primary goal of rebranding may seem to be about money, it\u2019s more than that. The brand\u2019s logo (which is usually the first one to be refreshed) has the biggest influence on the brand\u2019s recognition and, if used for a long time, is recognizable among people from multiple generations. Therefore, update your logo design but do not change it too much, this is what we often refer to as an \u2018evolutionary redesign\u2019. You don\u2019t want to lose the recognition you\u2019ve worked so long for!<\/p>\n

\"Ford<\/p>\n

Logos of companies with rich and long histories can look like royal emblems and in that way make customers feel that the brand is trustworthy.<\/p>\n

\"EmpireHowever, if your product is a newbie on the market, the job to make your audience perceive you as trustworthy is more difficult. You still have a chance to achieve this by incorporating vintage style, which is another 2019 trend!<\/p>\n

\"vintage<\/p>\n

\"vintage<\/p>\n

It may happen that vintage style doesn\u2019t really suit the nature of your product. Modern logo design trends bring back the 80\u2019s and the 90\u2019s fashion of bright colors, neon lights and sharp edges. Allowing your logo to share some sense of nostalgia will definitely make your brand logo cool!
\n\"80\u2019s<\/p>\n

A Touch of Humor<\/h2>\n

A bit of fun isn\u2019t odd unless your brand tries to present a very serious look and fun is inappropriate. If that isn\u2019t the case, don\u2019t be too serious as current logo design trends offer you a possibility to create something fun and lively.<\/p>\n

A good sense of humor is often a key to win someone\u2019s heart. Therefore, fun logos not only create a good impression but also make people feel comfortable and joyful.<\/p>\n

Trends, including the ones in graphic design, are as changeable as the weather in London. You can never guess what is going to be the trend next year or next season. An excellent logo design must represent your brand\u2019s character as well as be your business card for the long term. Therefore, it should be created by a professional designer.<\/p>\n
