Logo trends

When thinking of logo designs, it's important to know that logos are divided into 3 types: symbol/figure, lettering, and a combination of drawing and lettering.

In recent trends, we've seen brands use emblems to represent them. This trend is gaining a lot of traction, even though we've seen this style in the automotive industry.

To gain retention and recognition, the logo must be unique. It should reflect a deeper interpretation of the brand that evokes certain emotions and memories.

Many logos that we see today have undergone several evolutions from its original design form. Two great examples of this are Apple and Starbucks.

Knowing which kind of logo works best for your brand will depend on several factors: what your products are, who your target audience is, and your brand's mission and culture.

Combining elements also work well for logos. The combination of text and symbol is a classic solution. When your brand gains recognition over time, the symbol or emblem can stand on its own. You can also separate the elements based on your marketing needs.
