K-Swiss is a famous American tennis footwear brand. They have recently revamped their identity, logo, typeface and the color scheme which they think better reflects their true identity. K Swiss recently formed a new team that was given the task of redesigning the brand shield logo. The immediate change to its logo that is observable can be noticed that the stripes are pointing upwards. The original red white and blue which is known to be the American heritage has been kept but with a bright facelift. The blue that we see is no ordinary blue, At K Swiss they call it Brunner Blue, which is named of the founders of K Swiss.

The new color will be promoted in all fronts which include the logo, packaging, websites and retail displays. K Swiss has positi

oned itself in the All American category and they proudly reflect that gesture in the latest revamp. They have managed to overhaul the image of the brand by keeping the originality of the symbolic colors and the shield which has brought them long term equity. The typeface is inspired from the Federal Highway administration’s interstate road signs. Indecently both of these organizations were created in the same year i.e. 1966.

There are many different types of logo designs that the developers use. But by looking at them from an outset, we can see that they do not look alike or follow a pattern. Well to be honest, that’s exactly why logos are formulated. The purpose of a logo is create individuality and give a face to the product presence.

One of the very common types of logo design is the symmetrical type of logos. They look intricate and balanced which creates a perspective about the brand. A famous symmetrical logo is that of Motorola. It’s a very simple looking logo in the monotone colors of black and white. The logo is a black full circle with a “M” in the center. It’s a very simple yet brilliant logo considering the simplicity involved in it. The ‘M’ is in the shape of two communication towers, which goes with the brand identity i.e. communication devices. Another good example is the logo of Unilever. The logo on the outset looks li

ke a U of the Unilever with written in the bottom. By looking closely the U is actually a mixture of many symbols and signs. This denotes that Unilever has many brands associated with them and all of them are in perfect alignment with the organization.

Logo is one of the most important aspects in brand making.  The reason behind that is companies try to be creative, and create something that is instantly recognizable. That’s one of the main purposes of branding and logo designing. It is that image which customers can relate to, recall whenever they see it.

A logo creates the first impact on a consumer. So it acts as a tool of identifying your brand and also differentiating from your competitors.  A successful logo also carries the brands values with it. They are designed with the brand in mind. How they can create value and individuality within the target market.

Some of the world’s most famous logos aren’t just popular because of the brand they are representing, it is also because the logo’s carry a message. Sometimes the logo’s have a subliminal message hidden in them.  Famous logos like Amazon, Coca-Cola and FedEx have some hidden messages.

FedEx

has a very simple looking logo that appears to give out a name of the company. Simple typography and plain two tone colors is what give FedEx its identity. Their aim is to promote delivery accuracy and speed with a hidden arrow between the letters of E and X. This is subliminal in nature but very obvious if looked a little closely.

LogoBench Reviews the science behind the colors used in web development.

The colors we see in a website normally depict the organizations theme or the brands color combination. The colors let you relate to the physical product or the organizations identity. Colors are used to drive attention of the visitor.

Nearly all visual individuality have neutral coloring's (i.e the shades, tints, and hues of whiteness’s, grayness’s, and blacks) that are used on with their primary colors. In most modern patterns, these achromatic colors often take authority in terms of how much real property they take up.

If the primary colors of an organization are say red and yellow, then you won’t find their web page with those bright and loud colors as the background or the font color. Usually the background will be a shade of yellow or white and shades of red in some places. The banners or main images may be of the actual colors of the brand.

These shades or white backgrounds are helpful in calming the minds of the visitor. They would feel the text is not pushy and will spend more time on the web page. Some colors have particular effects on the user such as blues, purples and greens gives out professional, and a business look. Whereas orange and red color give out a sense of creativity and dynamism.

Logobench Reviews how a logo can be more than a logo.

Whenever a new logo is launched by a high profile company people come up with relentless comments that a five year old can come up with a better design or 200 thousand dollars for a scribble! That’s a rip off! Criticizing a logo is easy but understanding the logic behind the new logo design and the reasons behind the rebranding approach is difficult for a consumer to understand. When a company re brands itself , it means they could have changed their product line, or a new management is in place. It can also occur in the case of the company being acquired by another company. In a joint venture the companies involved retain their identity but in case of a merger or an acquisition. The companies involved lose their identity and then there is a need of a new identity and a new logo, possibly of a new name too.

Sometimes it can be very dangerous for a company to change its logo. People who are loyal to your product or service don’t want to change. Not everyone thinks alike, and it’s not necessary the new identity is liked by everyone. There are a lot of examples of a successful re branding and new logo designing. Pepsi have changed their logo time and again but the changes are slight.

Logobench Reviews the web developers who aren’t really developing.

Just like the websites these days, web developers are popping up everywhere we see. We live in the age of technology and the WorldWide Web

. Every brand, every company no matter how small or big that it may be, they want their website to look like an award winning eye candy. Web developers know this fact and they try come up with all the new ideas. Some come up with their new and creative ideas, some copy the good one, some follow templates and there are a few who just want to trouble the client and extort money from them. They charge thousands of dollars and in return give almost nothing. Since they are only available online and very few of them are physically in front of you, it’s really hard for you to catch them and get your work done. Or for that matter get you money back in case of a rejection from your end. It is a sort of a thing that can happen in any business.

Many of the cases that are being observed indicated there is still a substantial knowledge gap between business concern operators and service suppliers when it comes to website developing, leaving business organization open to victimization by some developers.
