The large american pizza chain recently unveiled a new logo. It’s flat, round and of course, red.

As we’ve seen with a lot of new logo redesigns, companies tend to follow the trend of simplifying their logos. They mostly do that to stay current - Apple and Google, both push a very clean and relatively flat design for their devices, and believe it or not, the tech world influences a lot the rest of the world.

In the logo design world, there used to be a consensus. The de facto standard software for creating logo designs was Adobe Illustrator. There was a good reason for this: there was no real alternative to Illustrator on neither Windows or Mac platforms.

The right combination of components is critical in crafting an effective logo design. Now, the prime object of a logo design is magnetize its planned market and to stand out. With the resultant number of logo designs being made and the growing variety of logo design firms being invented, it is difficult to make your business logo memorable for your customers.

Many logo designers were surprised to hear about the move Adobe has made recently, when they've decided to bet hard on the Creative Cloud versus the traditional software distribution model. The idea behind is that you no longer own the software but you rent it to do your job. This shift has its ups and downs. However, the purpose of this article is not to debate on whether Adobe's move is a good or a bad one. It rather is to sieze the opportunity to explore the other available options out there in terms of vector illustration.

We are glad to be back with our "Logo of the month" award after the long pause. The March 2013 edition features outstanding logo design creations by some very talented logo designers. We selected great logos that stood out from the crowd through fresh ideas, carefully thought execution and nice presentation. Check out these great designs and leave a word of encouragement for the talented designers!

As we all know, there are many leftovers on a designer's hard drive. I know I draw quite a lot of variations / versions before choosing one to show to the client. I spoke to the other designers involved with The Logo Mix and we all agreed that we could work out some "friday freebie" worth downloading. And what would it be more appropriate but a logo? And not only a logo, but an unused concept?
