The Precarious State Of Logo Design

The Precarious State Of Logo Design | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

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.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Critics are everywhere. I like The Met logo a lot – it's classic and classy.

55 Extremely Creative and Beautiful Logo Designs for Inspiration

55 Extremely Creative and Beautiful Logo Designs for Inspiration | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

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.


A logo must be creative, otherwise it won’t stay in the minds of the viewers and thus, the brand would be forgotten too. A logo may be predefined or exaggerated depending on the need of the client. But the most important thing in logo designing is the, “less is more” strategy...

Instagram's New Logo Is a Travesty. Can We Change It Back? Please?

Instagram's New Logo Is a Travesty. Can We Change It Back? Please? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Instagram unveiled a new logo Wednesday, and it may well go down as one of the biggest design fails of the year.


The brand's famous skeuomorphic icon, a virtual representation of a physical camera, was beloved almost universally, and is one of the most instantly recognizable logos in tech. For some reason, Instagram felt it was dated. It was "beginning to feel, well… not reflective of the community, and we thought we could make it better," Ian Spalter, head of design at Instagram, writes in a Medium post (which also goes into its new, broader visual identity).


The ellipsis in that sentence is telling. It seems to indicate a confusion of purpose. If only the ellipsis had turned into a real pause—and they'd put on hold this instinct to ditch the key symbol of the brand's personality.


As often happens with logo redesigns, Instagram goes into great detail about the creative decisions that went into this one. The brand says it started off trying to "modernize" the original mark. That produced a "brighter, flatter option" that wasn't working. So, they began an effort to work the rainbow and camera lens into a different mark entirely—hoping to produce "a more modern app icon that strikes a balance between recognition and versatility."...
