Three weeks ago the Metropolitan Museum of Art—known colloquially and now formally as "the Met"—unveiled a new logo and identity system designed by the international firm Wolff Olins. The response from critics was swift and fierce. Influential typographer Erik Spiekermann harped on the logo's proportions and "forced curvy shapes"; New York Times critic Michael Kimmelman accused the museum of pandering to younger audiences; and Justin Davidson, of New York magazine, compared it to a typographic bus crash. Ouch.
It’s a familiar scenario with logo and identity reveals—the images get passed around the Internet, critics weigh in, and the peanut gallery follows. Such was the case with Google, Airbnb, Hillary Clinton's campaign logo, the Olympics, and the rebrand that (arguably) sparked incendiary "logogate" culture: Gap.

Logo design holds a very important role in the promotion of any brand. A logo is the main identity of an individual or a corporation. The logo design process is very complicated as it requires incorporating the complete image of a person or a company into one single image that would be used for this purpose for years.

We already know what makes a successful logo—remember, simplicity is key. But what about its color scheme? A Brazilian graphic designer, Paula Rúpolo, recently experimented with 22 major brand logos, swapping the colors of a brand's logo with that of its competitors. The results are mesmerizing and, surprisingly, viscerally unsettling.
"There's something unbelievably awkward and uncomfortable about seeing globally-familiar brand logos wearing someone else's clothes," as Rúpolo puts it.
For brands like Dunkin Donuts and Sprite, where the design is minimal and the brand relies on color to make its logo pop, the outcome is especially off-putting. For others, like Amazon, where there's very little color to begin with, the swap totally overwhelms the design. ...
