Logo Lounge reviewed almost 25,000 logos submitted to their website to come up with the top trends of 2014. What do you think of these? Does naming something a “trend” make you want to incorporate it into your logo designs? Or does it make you want to avoid it?
Overall they saw logos becoming simpler as they are being used at ever smaller sizes (think mobile, favicons, etc.). They also saw:
- Crests
- Letter Stacks
- Hand-drawn Type
- Dazzle (hairline strokes of type disappearing on screen)
- Flat Facets
- Geo Wires (like facets, but outlined with a single width lines)
- Trans Menagerie (transparent overlapping shapes creating animals)
- Waves
- Hexagons
- Geography
- Pompoms
- Knitting
- States
- Links
