Great Visual Identities

Recently I had the experience of designing a logo for a client who wasn't able to envision it without the branding context. As soon as the client has seen the logo applied on a business card or a letterhead, he was convinced that it was suitable, working and alive. Following on the same idea, a few days ago we had the pleasure to post an interview with the award-winning logo designer Leighton Hubbell, who expressed the idea that a logo can live or die depending on the branding program. I agree with Leighton that some really good logos fail to reach their full potential when the branding is not top notch, while some rather ordinary logos can get a breath of new life with great branding. With these thoughts grinding in my mind I've decided to make a selection of some great visual identities to see how great logo designs work in a branding context. I've followed the way designers manage to continue the design ideas condensed and expressed through logo design and the way they expand the graphic elements and build appealing visual identities.

Interview with award-winning designer Leighton Hubbell

We have the pleasure to bring you an interview with one of today's most prolific logo designers, an artist who's work has been recognized and featured on over two dozen books on logo design, identity and graphic design. He's been designing logos for more that 20 years, and I'm sure I am not mistaken to say that for many of us, his work has been truly inspirational. Fellow designers, we present you Leighton Hubbell, award-winning logo and graphic designer, who's been kind to take some time out of his busy schedule and share with us a bit about his experience and design work. Enjoy!

Cool April Fools Logos: Jesters and Clowns

It is hard to believe anything anyone says today. You wake up in the morning, you look at the calendar and the first thought is "I should be prepared". I don't know if anyone made a joke on you today, but I've been tried a few… It is a day of fun though, and even if you make a bad joke, today it is excusable.

Jesters and clowns were in charge with the fun making around the royal courts, marketplaces and public plazas in medieval times. Today we found them at the circus and in dictionaries under adjectives. Every group of people has its "clown", and at a certain time everyone tried to crack a joke or prank someone. Today we dedicate this post to all those who make us laugh out loud. Enjoy this cool selection of april fools logo designs with jesters and clowns.
