Check out these logo design changes for June 2014.
Contrary to our post about the, “Less is more” logo trend, Disney has given their logo a refresh but, has yet to adopt a flat design. With the type logo no longer surrounded by the box and mouse ears, Disney opted to make the ears smaller and incorporate it into the type logo itself. I think this makes for a much cleaner, distinctive, high quality logo.
“Less is more” has become a pretty strong trend lately in the world of logo design. More and more brand facelifts are sharing a common theme: simplicity. To name a few just in the past couple weeks, Netflix, Paypal and Avery have followed suit. Take a look:
For Orioles’ fans, opening day in Baltimore is like Christmas come early, and this year’s opening day did not disappoint. While the few weeks running up to opening day were snow ridden, March 31st brought warmer weather for Orioles and Red Sox fans alike. With the O’s victory over the Red Sox (2-1), many believe this could be Baltimore’s year.
Happy November! Here are some brands giving their logos a refresh:

I confess, I have a new obsession called “logo quiz.” It all started last Friday night when I was out at dinner with family. We had just finished up and all of a sudden my brother-in-law picked up my husband’s sunglasses and started examining them. A couple seconds later he was playing with his phone and was lost “in the zone.” It wasn’t until five minutes later that he actually returned to the conversation at the table and let us in on what he was doing. He was playing “logo quiz” and the logo on my husband’s glasses was one of the ones that had stumped him, so now he had the answer. I was curious, so as soon as we got home I downloaded the app and I was quickly addicted. It is a little something fun for the designer in me and it’s challenging. Now whenever I am out, I am looking at every sign we pass or when we watch tv, I keep my eyes peeled for any of the ones that have been keeping me stumped. All this logo fun got me to thinking, what elements are required to create a great logo? What is it that keeps these particular logos emblazoned in our brains and why are we able to recognize what they are even when we are seeing only part of the logo?
Just as summer leaves change to beautiful, new autumn colors, inevitably, old logos are redesigned to fit the current era. So here we go with our September Logo Round-Up!
We thought it would be fun to share some of the news in the design world (stuff we love to look at). Here’s a “round-up” of sorts to cover what’s iconic, what’s trending and what’s happening in corporate identity.
Corporate gift giving is a long-standing tradition and gift options run the gamut from greeting cards to custom imprinted laptop bags. But it can be challenging to decide what to give and to whom. Most businesses give the same gift to everyone on the list, while others give individually chosen items. So, as an advisory services firm, what should you do? Here are a few things to consider:
