StumbleUpon alternative logo, perhaps the logo that should have been?

Back in 2011 StumbleUpon went through a rebranding process which resulted with an amazing update to their overall identity look-and-feel. While I loved the use of the more adventurous reddish in contrast to the odd combination of green and blue, I never quite well understood their choice for the controversial phallic shaped logo, in layman terms, the damm schlong.

How the heck they have not seen the ding dong on their logo?

While I thought on writing about it at the time, I felt I didn’t have much to add, as the entire StumbleUpon community was already stating the obvious about the new unfortunate logo. But today, while stumbling some really cool stuff about space exploration (astronaut was my second career option, right after logo designer), I had this idea of applying the new identity look-and-feel to the original StumbleUpon logo, and I strongly believe it would have been a much better alternative. What do you think?

Tim Burton‘s Batman logo is my favorite Batman logo.

Watching the evolution of the Batman logo video, put together by Rodrigo Rojas, not only opened my eyes to the share amount of variation on a single logo, but it was also a fairly nostalgic experience. Scroll to the bottom of this article to watch the video.

Tim Burton’s Batman film starring Michael Keaton as the multi-millionaire turned superhero was the first ever Batman film I ever watched, and certainly one of the brands which have most influenced my childhood, but I guess this guy was even more influenced by the Batman logo than I did, check out his bat-moustache!

I’ve just stumble upon this finally curated collection of Metro logos from around the world. It’s quite interesting to look at all of this logos clamped together and how different designers have opted to solve their identity problem with very much similar solutions, that in itself, gives a great perspective on the subject of plagiarism, or better yet non-plagiarism. The way I see it, more often than not, designers come out with similar ideas simply because they work.

I have been willing to write a post with a compilation of the best logos of app design studios for a while, and amazingly this were the only logos I was able to find which deserved to be mentioned. It’s amazing how many app design studios have terribly designed identities, but with great logos for their apps; here’s an idea for a next round up of logos!

Meanwhile, I would love to add a few more logos to this post, so if you stumble on some good app design studio logos on your daily browsing, I would appreciate if you send me a shout over @rayvellest on Twitter, that would be great! Thanks.
