there's been a lot of crazy things going on in the logo design world in the last few weeks from the
bbc looking as if it's hired a high school student to rebrand parts of their company
to facebook morphing into meta but let's take a closer look at exactly what's been going on
but yeah first here is a logo story that kanye west has managed to get himself wrapped up in
now do you recognize this logo on screen now i assume most of you probably do recognize it
and it's of course the walmart logo but then if you look at this logo do you recognize it
as well this is the new logo from canus fashion label easy but do you think walmart has grounds
to take this issue to court or do you think they aren't similar enough to cause any kind of issues
or furthermore do you even think this design reflects the easy brand in any way shape or form
now walmart has already tried taking the issue further by blocking the new logo design
by yeezy however it failed according to the fashion law they haven't given up though
and they are continuing their efforts to get the new logo design taken out of circulation
but my question is this does kanye want his fashion brand to be linked to warm hearts in
any way shape or form and i personally wouldn't obviously the design of the logo hasn't given
it much thoughts and the design will cause consumer confusion between the two brands
that much is obvious but yeah what do you think about that new yeezy logo
so the bbc has been around for what seems like eons and according to some designers their logo
has needed a rebrand for just as long the bbc has spawned a number of channels throughout its
history such as the bbc iplayer sports weather and so on these channels have needed a rebrand
for ages now and so recently in october the broadcasting company proudly released a new set
of designs to represent their channels the problem is that much of the internet and designers alike
did not agree with their positive sentiment given by the bbc moreover most people think the logos
pretty much suck obviously the designer has tried to maintain that theme of having three squares
but turning them into relevant designs according to each channel so the sound logo could be seen
as having sound levels and the weather logo has sun rays the problem is they don't look good and
they lack any sort of memorable personality in my humble opinion these designs are a giant fail
especially considering the bbc likely paid hundreds of thousands of pounds on this project
the designs have even been added to the crappy design thread over on reddit
but what do you make of these designs are they a triumph or a failure
next up a logo that has a hidden message within the design
and this project was well received online unlike the previous story the lego design for the 55th
karla v very international film festival has been designed to appear as two eyes watching something
obviously relating back to the film industry now in my opinion by yourself on screen or on the
board in adobe illustrator this logo doesn't look so awesome but when it's actually seen in context
in real use and with some typography as you can see behind michael caine here in this photograph
at the festival it does work well in my opinion the black and the white approach in the color
scheme also helps to its success the logo was largely liked online with tweets and comments
praising its clever and sleek execution but what do you think about this logo do you think it works
next up a case of change most people don't take drastic change too well
and that was exactly the case with the rebrand of facebook the old logo was an uppercase spelling
of facebook or just that single lowercase f icon and the new logo is something entirely different
the company has totally rebranded to meta the reasoning being that the future is likely
going to be lived largely in the metaverse but that's a topic for a different video as for the
logo many people have slammed it and made jokes online some people have suggested it looks like
a pair of testicles or coining the phrase lung book as they feel it resembles a pair of lungs
for some reason there's a theme of bodily parts being linked to the logo and yes there has been
a lot of backlash online which i'm sure mark zuckerberg and facebook knew would happen
beforehand but i personally don't think it's a terrible logo most of you probably know i'm not
a fan of gradients on a logo but the metaverse is all about an online world and so gradients
aren't actually a bad choice here especially considering it's a mild and subtle gradient
i think the design is recognizable memorable and very brandable even though the meta logo is only
a month old i already instantly recognize it anywhere online at a snap of a finger
that holds testament to how brandable and how memorable this design is
what i do know is that metaverse is likely to be a big thing in the future especially considering how
much money and power is going to be put into it by mark and his brand but what do you think about
the logo and what do you think about the metavis so yeah there were a few crazy things going on
in the lego design world in the last month or two and if you want more videos like this do
let me know in the comment down below and until next time guys design your future today peace
