Logo Trends 2009: Should We Follow Logo Designing trends?

1: Concealed – Hidden Logos: Such logos which show two or more than two elements hidden with a logo always reveal with certain fascination and adventure. Once you figure out the message successfully, the logo starts appealing you more.

2: Varidot – The Polka Dots: As it is said for dress designing, that “Polka Dots” are never out of fashion, similarly in logo designing as well, I think dots always add a high degree of speed and arbitrariness.

3: Candy Stripes – The multihued lines: To make your logo more trendy and happening, designers love to create their logos of multihued lines. Either they are multi-colored ribbons or lined up crayons, such logos give the atmosphere of celebration and joy.

4: Texting – Typographic Logos: A logo seems to be incomplete without a good typeface, “Nike” logo is exceptional. An excellent logo emerges when text and icon are packed up in a strong way.

5: Encrust – Shaped Designs: The symbolic texture of these logos does not let consumers vision wander. These are not filled with a traditional pattern but are often illustrated with a unique visual message that gives context and dimension to the shape.

6: Monolgue – Words in Monotones: It’s true to say “Powerful words carry great weight “as the message to public in delivered in an emphasizing tone. Letters in monotones can contribute their best in letting a business message fly.

7: Doily – The Fancy Swirls: Lacy and delicate swirls are the new additions to make a logo look fancier. The geometric pattern of these logos covered with embellishments express the message with subtle fragility.

8: Flip Flop – Upside down: The trend of reading a logo same in upside down position is always exciting. Some are creating exact mirrored images while others display partial inversions. I think, whichever way they are placed, it attracts all types of viewers.

9: Mosaic – The pixels: Such logos look like a roomful of diverse pixels pushed together to make a visual shape. These pixels being in colorful tones make the logo scene more appealing.

10: Sequential – Be in a line: To show motion in a logo this sequential concept is followed. This introduction of sequential colored logos will help to define the concept by demonstrating movement and mark harmonious progress of a company.

11: Dandelion – The weed effect: The concept of the weed effect explains the idea of freedom. Every individual seed makes its own unique journey and relies on the will of nature to determine where it will land and grow. Graphically, logos with this notion mark the liberal and modern approach of a company.

12: Gossamer: The speedy reflection: Over the last many years we are getting to see an arising trend of transparent and blur logos. Considering them one of the latest logo designing trends I think they will work successfully to demonstrate motion or convey the blending of elements.

I think this research ends you with newest and relevant directions but I would like you to leave with an answer to my question:

“Do you think it is important to follow instructions, rules or current trends while designing logos?”

Here follows 33 logos / labels seen in the first 33 minutes after I wake.

The original idea was to include logos that appear throughout an entire day, but that would leave you with A LOT of scrolling.

At this stage I’d still not be dressed for the working day, and have just finished the morning shower. Just 33 minutes after waking and I’m already exposed to a large number of logo designs.

It’s no coincidence that the most memorable logo designs are also the most simple in appearance. You want the identities you create to be instantly recognisable, acting as a memorable identifier for the company they represent. A consumer will normally just take a fleeting glimpse at a logo, and an overly complex mark will make that opportunity redundant.

1. Learn what a logo is and what it represents

Before you design one, you must understand what a logo is, what it represents and what it is supposed to do. A logo is not just a mark – it reflects a business’s commercial brand through the use of shape, fonts, colour, and / or images.

A logo is for inspiring trust, recognition and admiration for a company or product and it is our job as designers to create an identity that will do its job.

One must first know what a logo is before continuing.

2. Know the rules and principles of logo design
Now that you know what a logo is supposed to do, and what it should represent, you now must learn what makes a great logo; the basic rules and principles.

A logo must be describable
A logo must be memorable
A logo must be effective without colour
A logo must be scalable i.e. effective when just an inch in size

3. Learn off other’s successes and mistakes

Now you know what the rules are, you can distinguish the difference between a good and a bad logo. Knowing which logos have succeeded, and why, gives an insight into what makes a good logo.

For example, let’s look at the classic Nike Swoosh. This logo was created by Caroline Davidson in 1971 for only $35, yet it’s still a strong, memorable logo, effective without colour and easily scalable. It is simple, fluid and fast, and represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek Goddess of victory, Nike (something perfect for a sporting apparel business). The Nike logo is just one of many great designs, think about other famous brands that you know about and check out their logos. What makes them successful?

4. Establish your own logo design process

Now that we know what a logo is, what the principles and rules of logo design are and what makes a successful logo, we’re now prepared to begin the design process. This is the hardest part of these tips, and is a whole topic in itself. Each person’s process is different and experience is usually the key factor when creating your own logo design process.

In short, a logo design process usually consists of:

The Design Brief
Research and Brainstorming
Sketching
Prototyping and Conceptualising
Send to Client for Review
Revise and Add Finishing Touches
Supply Files to Client and Provide Customer Service

5. Learn the software and complete the logo

After you have got your design process sorted out, it is usually a good time to begin mastering your software. We recommend Adobe Illustrator because the Adobe Creative Suite is a popular choice with professional designers.

Once you have arrived at your initial ideas and sketches from brainstorming, you can then move onto the computer to start digitizing your logo. After you have digitized the great concept(s), your client is ready to review your work, ask for possible revisions, and complete the design project. Thus, you have successfully created a professional logo.
