The lettermark is all about simplicity. By utilizing just a few letters lettermark logos are effective at streamlining any company brand if they have a long name. For example, how much easier is it to say—and remember—NASA versus the National Aeronautics and Space Administration? ]]> 2019-02-28 01:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336221866 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222082 Is a font-based logo that focuses on a business’ name alone. Think Visa and Coca-Cola. Wordmark logos work really well when a company has a succinct and distinct name. Google’s logo is a great example of this. The name itself is catchy and memorable so, when combined with strong typography, the logo helps create strong brand recognition. ]]> 2019-02-28 01:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222082 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222214 Is an icon—or graphic-based design. It’s probably the image that comes to mind when you think “logo”: the iconic Apple logo, the Twitter bird, the Target bullseye. Each of these companies’ logos is so emblematic, and each brand so established, that the mark alone is instantly recognizable. A true brand mark is only an image. Because of this, it can be a tricky logo type for new companies, or those without strong brand recognition, to use. ]]> 2019-02-28 01:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222214 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222387 Is a specific type of pictorial logo. Instead of being a recognizable image—like an apple or a bird—it’s an abstract geometric form that represents your business. A few famous examples include the BP starburst-y logo, the Pepsi divided circle and the strip-y Adidas flower. Like all logo symbols, abstract marks work really well because they condense your brand into a single image. However, instead of being restricted to a picture of something recognizable, abstract logos allow you to create something truly unique to represent your brand. ]]> 2019-02-28 01:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222387 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222579 Is simply an illustrated character that represents your company. Think of them as the ambassador for your business. Famous mascots include the Kool-Aid Man, KFC’s Colonel and Planter’s Mr. Peanut. Mascots are great for companies that want to create a wholesome atmosphere by appealing to families and children. Think of all those mascots at sporting events and the great dynamic they create by getting involved with the audience! ]]> 2019-02-28 01:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222579 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222867 Is a logo comprised of a combined wordmark or lettermark and a pictorial mark, abstract mark, or mascot. The picture and text can be laid out side-by-side, stacked on top of each other, or integrated together to create an image. Some well known combination mark logos include Doritos, Burger King and Lacoste. ]]> 2019-02-28 01:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222867 victorhsegura https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222954 It consists of font inside a symbol or an icon; think badges, seals and crests. These logos tend to have a traditional appearance about them that can make a striking impact, thus they are often the go-to choice for many schools, organizations or government agencies. The auto industry is also very fond of emblem logos. While they have a classic style, some companies have effectively modernized the traditional emblem look with a logo designs fit for the 21st century (think of Starbucks’ iconic mermaid emblem, or Harley-Davidson’s famous crest). ]]> 2019-02-28 01:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/victorhsegura/GraphicDesign/wish/336222954
