Is your logo ageing like fine wine or vinegar?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of design and branding, a logo is not just a symbol but the embodiment of your brand's identity.

It's imperative to ask ourselves: is our logo evolving or is it stuck in a bygone era?

Here are a few signs your logo might be on the vinegar spectrum:

1️⃣ It doesn’t adapt well to digital platforms
2️⃣ It fails to resonate with your target audience
3️⃣ It’s built on design trends that have long faded

Contrastingly, logos that age like fine wine share a few characteristics:

1️⃣ Timelessness – They stand out today as much as they did years ago.
2️⃣ Adaptability – They look as splendid on an app icon as they do on a billboard.
3️⃣ Relevance – They evolve with the brand, maintaining their essence.

The lesson here? Regularly re-evaluate your logo and branding to ensure they’re not just surviving, but thriving and resonating with both current and potential audiences.

As we continue to navigate through the shifting paradigms of marketing and design, let's make sure our logos are ageing gracefully, telling a story that aligns with our brand's core values and vision.

Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences below. 👇

Apple's 🍎 Brand Secret That Ruins Movie Spoilers

Have you noticed that villains in Hollywood movies rarely hold iPhones? This is no mere coincidence, but a deliberate policy by Apple.

Why?

1️⃣ Image: Apple wants to be seen as a brand associated with good, beauty, and innovation.
2️⃣ Responsibility: Apple doesn't want its products to be associated with violence and crime. ‍
3️⃣ Marketing: It's a move that makes the iPhone the "good guy's gadget."

How does this affect us?
↳ On the one hand, knowing this "secret" can ruin the intrigue. When you see a character with an iPhone, you immediately know they're not up to evil.
↳ On the other hand, it can also be fun. After all, a perceptive viewer can use this "clue" to help solve the mystery.

Here are a few examples:

↳ In the movie "Her," the protagonist who falls in love with an artificial intelligence uses an iPhone. This tells us he's not a villain, just a lonely guy looking for love.

↳ In the series "Mr. Robot," the main hacker fighting the corporate system uses an Android. This emphasizes his rebellious nature and anti-system views.

So, the next time you watch a movie, pay attention to the characters' gadgets. This little nuance can tell you a lot about their characters and motivations.

P.S. I wonder if Apple really has an official policy on the use of its products in movies?

P.P.S. Sorry if I spoiled the intrigue for you! 🙈

Why font choice matters.

To avoid causing a big fuss worldwide.

Adidas recently removed the number 44 from Germany's national team jerseys due to its resemblance to a Nazi symbol.

Fancy fonts can look nice, but sometimes they distract from your message or convey the wrong idea.

How can you ensure your fonts are clear and on-message:

- Use font sizes and styles to create a clear hierarchy of information.
- Avoid using too many fonts in one design to prevent clutter.
- Consider the tone and message of your content when selecting a font.

Fonts are speaking about your professionalism.

Ads in the stars? The future of advertising might be out of this world!

Space billboards are constellations of satellites that reflect sunlight to create visible patterns in the night sky, potentially displaying ads.

While the technology is promising, it raises concerns:

Light pollution from satellites could interfere with astronomy.
Ads might ruin the beauty of the night sky.

Access to this technology might be limited to large corporations.

Space advertising could change the way we see the world. But should we allow ads in the sky?

What do you think about space-based advertising? Let me know in the comments below!

P.S. We might need sky ad blockers...😅
