 LOGOLOUNGE

 TREND

 REPORT

  By

 Bill

 Gardner

 As

 with every

 logo

 trend

 report

 I

 write,

 I

 look

 to

 the

 past

 before

 looking

 ahead.

 You

 can’t

 tell

 where

 something

 is going

 if you

 don’t

 know where

 it’s

 been.

 There’s

 always

 a

 reason

 something

 goes

 viral

 or

 takes

 off—something

 set it

 in

 motion,

 good or

 bad.

 So

 let’s start

 by addressing

 the

 white

 elephant

 on

 the

 planet:

 COVID-19.

  Crises

 often

 accelerate

 trends

 in

 society

 and

 design.

 It’s

 very

 reactive

 and

 rushed—i.e.

 if there

 were

 a

 ten-step program

 that we

 typically

 follow to

 get

 from

 point A

 to

 point B,

 we

 skipped steps

 six

 through

 nine

 to

 get

 there during

 a

 crisis.

 Next

 year,

 we’re

 probably

 going

 to

 see

 a

 lot

 of logos

 that came

 as

 a

 result—some

 will

 be

 brilliant, while

 many

 more

 probably

 won’t.

 No

 matter

 what,

 I

 believe

 the

 design

 industry

 is

 going

 to

 come

 out of this

 better than

 we

 were.

 Some

 firms

 will

 not recover.

 It’s

 going

 to

 be

 survival

 of the

 fittest, but

 having

 said

 that,

 we’ll see

 an emergence

 of little

 start-ups and

 uncover

 some

 talent

 we’ve

 never

 seen

 before.

 People

 will

 regroup,

 find their

 niche and

 come

 out of this

 with a

 new

 resilience.

  We’re

 going

 to

 see

 a

 new

 way

 of working

 and

 doing

 business.

 While

 working

 remotely,

 we’ve

 also

 come

 together and

 grown

 closer

 with a

 new

 kind

 of face-to-face—something

 we

 probably

 weren’t

 doing

 anyway.

 Just

 because people

 work in

 close

 proximity,

 doesn’t mean

 they’re

 connecting

 or

 talking.

 Zoom

 and

 Facetime

 have

 become

 the new

 norm

 in

 business

 as

 companies

 work with offsite

 pods of people

 with different

 skillsets.

 We’re

 talking

 to

 each other

 more

 now

 than

 before.

  Another

 offshoot of this,

 is

 that we’re

 seeing

 the

 big telecom

 and

 technology

 companies

 step

 up and

 lead,

 offering expanded

 services

 to

 help

 students

 with e-learning,

 keep

 remote

 workers

 working

 and

 provide

 more

 entertainment options than

 ever

 before.

 Sometimes

 the

 price

 of doing

 business

 means

 being

 a

 good citizen.

  This

 is

 a

 shared

 generational

 experience

 that we’ll never

 forget

 and

 hopefully,

 we’ll all

 learn

 from.

 Next

 year’s

 batch of logos

 will

 surely

 reflect

 this!

  As

 for this

 year’s

 trends,

 we’re

 seeing

 some

 intriguing

 clusters

 of design

 innovation

 driven

 by technology

 and

 tools. For

 instance,

 there

 are

 a

 lot

 of logos

 this

 year

 that employ

 variable

 fonts and

 effects

 filters,

 maybe

 for no

 other reason

 than

 we

 have

 the

 capabilities

 to

 do it. As

 designers,

 when

 new

 tools are

 introduced,

 we

 start

 with the obvious

 effects

 and

 objectify the

 coolness

 (which

 gets

 tired

 after

 a

 while).

 Fortunately,

 there

 were

 many

 great examples

 by designers

 who

 took these

 tools to

 the

 next

 level,

 exploiting

 their

 capabilities

 and

 creating

 new

 logo experiences

 that we’ve

 never

 seen

 before.

  We’re

 also

 seeing

 two

 opposite trends

 that hearken

 back to

 the

 best

 of the

 1970s.

 Wordmarks

 with big fat fonts came

 out roaring

 this

 year

 (think

 bell

 bottoms and

 afros),

 perhaps

 as

 a

 counter

 to

 the

 minimalist

 sans

 serif

 aesthet - ic we’ve

 gotten used

 to

 the

 last

 five

 or

 six

 years.

 At

 the

 same

 time,

 there

 are

 a

 lot

 of ultra-minimalist

 vector

 images with clean

 positive/negative

 fields

 that may

 have

 resulted

 from

 a

 desire

 to

 return

 to

 clarity

 and

 simplicity,

 ala

 Saul Bass

 and

 Paul

 Rand—the

 pendulum

 swings

 both ways.

  There’s

 also

 a

 tendency

 toward minimalist

 effects

 using

 transparencies,

 where

 one

 surface

 hovers

 closely

 to another.

 It’s

 getting

 tiresome

 and

 I

 see

 a

 movement

 away

 from

 this.

 On

 the

 other

 hand,

 we

 have

 what

 I

 like

 to

 call “Potter Pics,” which

 reference

 the

 little

 animated

 movements

 in

 some

 logos,

 like

 the

 wink

 of an

 eye.

 They’re

 subtle and

 clever.

  Hand-drawn

 naïve

 symbols

 that are

 more

 crude

 are

 emerging.

 They’re

 kind

 of a

 New

 Age

 throwback. In

 a

 similar vein,

 there

 are

 logos

 with flowers

 and

 leaves

 referencing

 organics

 and

 natural

 products. Expect

 to

 see

 more

 of this as

 the

 cannabis

 market

 expands

 in

 the

 next

 few

 years.

  Bolts and

 Twinkles

 have

 reached

 a

 place

 of critical mass

 this

 year

 and

 they

 are

 far-reaching.

 The

 mystical

 and lighthearted

 applications

 have

 a

 level

 of charm

 that can

 be

 seen

 in

 conservative

 business

 to

 business

 brands

 as well

 as

 little

 boutiques—ie

 They

 are

 equally

 at

 home

 in

 the

 boardroom

 as

 they

 are

 on

 the

 boardwalk,

 and

 that’s not something

 you

 can

 say

 about

 a

 lot

 of things!

 Gradient

 solutions

 are

 rampant,

 but

 it’s

 taken

 on

 a

 new

 level

 and

 being

 applied

 in

 novel

 ways.

 The

 simple

 ways

 of washing

 green

 to

 blue

 or

 red

 to

 orange

 are

 tired,

 so

 now

 there

 are

 more

 fashionable

 applications.

 For

 instance, there

 are

 waves

 of purple

 to

 pink,

 then

 zooming

 into a

 blackhole

 or

 interacting

 with colors

 that aren’t

 necessarily adjacent

 to

 each

 other

 on

 the

 color wheel.

 It’s

 quick and

 busy

 and

 interactive.

  And,

 of course,

 in

 the

 opposite corner

 there

 is

 a

 trend

 toward intricate

 linework

 that is

 so

 fine

 it’s

 taking

 on

 a halftone

 effect

 by default

 when

 it’s

 scaled

 down.

 Things

 that have

 gone

 rampant

 include

 kettle

 weights,

 anvils,

 Legos

 and

 animals

 like

 foxes

 and

 tigers—but

 not Tiger

 Kings.

 Wait

 ‘til

 next

 year!

 There

 are

 also

 a

 lot

 of logos

 with a

 third eye

 thrown

 in.

 The

 third eye

 is

 supposed

 to indicate

 self-actualization,

 but

 I

 don’t

 think

 that was

 taken

 into consideration

 so

 much

 on

 a

 lot

 of these.

 It just

 felt like

 a

 weird

 element

 that was

 added

 as

 an

 after-thought.

  I

 never

 grow tired

 of reviewing

 the

 thousands

 of logos

 we

 receive

 every

 year.

 It’s

 always

 a

 fascinating

 study of creativity

 and

 innovation.

 These

 trends

 come

 and

 go and

 then

 come

 back again.

 I’m grateful

 to

 the

 logo

 design community

 for bringing

 their

 best

 to

 LogoLounge

 each

 year.

  This

 report

 is

 an

 observation

 on

 the

 logo

 industry

 and

 isn’t

 meant

 as

 a

 guide

 for best

 practices.

 Trends

 are

 trajecto - ries

 that will

 evolve

 and

 modify over

 time,

 not a

 passing

 fad.

 Use

 the

 ideas

 here

 to

 push

 your

 design

 skills

 to

 the next

 level

 and

 keep

 the

 trajectory

 moving

 to

 the

 next

 iteration.

  COUNTERS

 There

 are

 more

 than

 enough

 idioms

 in

 our

 language

 that lambast

 the

 individual

 that can’t

 spot the

 obvious:

 They can’t

 see

 the

 forest

 for the

 trees;

 Couldn’t see

 it

 if it

 hit you;

 Hidden

 in

 plain

 sight;

 or

 a

 personal

 favorite,

 Can’t see a

 hole

 in

 a

 ladder.

 Though

 questioning

 a

 designer’s

 perspective

 can

 be

 treacherous,

 their

 personal

 use

 of these phrases

 is

 less

 an

 insult

 to

 the

 viewer

 than

 an

 attempt to

 brag.

 They

 themselves

 have

 seen

 the

 obvious

 and

 if you were

 equally

 as

 smart

 you’d see

 it

 too. These

 logos

 are

 less

 about

 the

 colorfully

 arranged

 elements

 floating

 on

 the background

 but

 more

 about

 the

 negative

 counter

 space

 created

 between

 them.

  There’s

 no

 better

 way

 to

 endear

 the

 public to

 a

 mark

 than

 to

 build margin

 in

 the

 design

 for them

 to

 participate. Recognizing

 the

 consumer’s

 intelligence

 and

 leaving

 room

 for discovery

 and

 the

 aha

 moment

 in

 these

 logos

 allow them

 to

 live

 on

 multiple

 levels.

 A

 tread

 forms

 an

 S,

 as

 well

 as

 a

 pair

 of arrows

 intersecting

 where

 diverse

 content joins

 together.

 A

 series

 of parallelograms

 represent

 structures

 with a

 sunset

 gradient

 on

 the

 horizon

 crafting

 a mnemonic

 reminder

 of the

 letter

 H.

 These

 marks

 tend

 to

 work best

 when

 simple

 and

 relatively

 geometric

 in construction.

  ... But who

 can’t

 see

 that?

 HORIZON THERAPEUTICS

 MAZES Mazes

 and

 their

 inception

 have

 always

 puzzled

 me.

 In

 classical

 times,

 I

 can

 imagine

 them

 being

 laid

 out and

 pruned within

 an

 inch

 of their

 life

 to

 amuse

 the

 owner

 of some

 well-healed

 estate.

 On

 the

 other

 hand,

 I

 can

 see

 that they

 could have

 been

 a

 way

 for the

 elite

 to

 dispose

 of boorish

 guests

 that had

 tested

 their

 limits.

  Whether

 you

 look

 at

 a

 maze

 as

 a

 delight,

 a

 mystery,

 or

 a

 punishment

 it

 is

 a

 challenge

 that visually

 represents

 many

 of the

 objectives

 a

 client

 may

 wish

 to

 associate

 with their

 brand.

 As

 a

 rule

 these

 marks

 are

 a

 continuation

 of the

 mono - line

 aesthetic

 with an

 even

 distribution of positive

 and

 negative

 weight.

  Some

 of these

 marks

 identify

 a

 path

 that enters

 at

 point A

 and

 exits

 at

 point B,

 while

 others

 guide

 you

 directly

 into a blind dead

 end

 or

 a

 goal

 or

 starting

 point, depending

 on

 the

 perspective.

 Either

 way

 there

 is

 a

 specific pathway

 that leads

 you

 to

 a

 timely

 completion

 of your

 task.

 Having

 a

 guide

 for the

 journey

 that might

 otherwise

 be

 interminable

 is the

 underlying

 promise

 these

 marks

 address.

 As

 addictive

 as

 click bait,

 they

 invite

 a

 consumer

 to

 visually

 trace

 their route,

 demonstrating

 it’s

 much

 easier

 to

 find your

 way

 to

 freedom

 with a

 birds eye-perspective

 of the

 challenge.

  SISTERS Humans

 have

 a

 desire

 to

 achieve

 a

 level

 of balance

 and

 harmony.

 We

 like

 to

 create

 order.

 As

 a

 rule,

 order

 can

 give

 us a

 sense

 of wellbeing.

 This

 is

 all

 part of a

 much

 bigger

 psychological

 conversation

 associated

 with the

 Gestalt

 theory, but

 for the

 purpose

 of this

 it’s

 driven

 by our
