The logo design trends of 2012
This year LogoLounge.com published their 10th annual logo trend report. Among this years trends are the following:
Transparent Links
Tessellation
“Mosaic-like patterns range from highly complex to very simple solutions, created from a small number of elements.”
Watercolor
“Every year, there is at least one trend that does its best to build a bridge away from technology and back to the human touch. And whether this is achieved with a red sable hair brush or a digital filter, the tactile essence of watercolor is marking its territory in this year’s trend set.”
Selective Focus
Following the focus trend in photography, in logo’s it feels just as artificial.

G-Star RAW Furniture
Het Nederlandse kleding label G-star (waar ik fan van ben) heeft een eigen meubel lijn gelanceerd. Niet helemaal eigen, ze hebben eigenlijk alleen een G-star sausje over de meubels van de Franse ontwerper Jean Prouve gegooid.
Maar het resultaat is er niet minder om. Erg mooi !
