Modern Logo trends Short Summary

  • Geometric shapes in logo design
  • Gradients in logo design
  • Minimalism in logos
  • Negative Space logo trends
  • Overlapping Elements logo trend

Below I divided every point in much descriptive way for a better explanation.

It’s my first article & I don’t want to get sued by any company or brand so I am using my own work for referencing the logo design trend. The work below shown below is copyright of their respective owners(client) that I worked for and I am sharing it with the permission to share.

Geometric shapes

Shapes in logos are starting to be used more simple shape to reflect the boldness of businesses, business type. Values & other aspects by just basic shapes. Using circle, line, triangle, square and rectangles. Combining these shapes gives a dramatic feel to the mark simple, clear, responsive. Logo grid makes it more expandable with the combination of multiple shapes together.

For Example just combining the 1 rectangle with 2 circles gives a powerful & Bold B shape.

Gradients

Gradients were overused in the past & seem to be the almost dead trend after flat color trend but now Gradient has risen from the dead over the last few years & Gradients will continue to rise through the new future. I personally don’t think they are going to be out of trend soon.

Minimalism

Minimalism revolution is still here and it’s not going anywhere. Logos will continue to be minimalist, simple, bold & clean.

Below in shared the project Unbox Innovations look the minimalist look of it. & Just below that take a look at its logo grid.

Simple yet effective result right?

Negative Space

Negative space logos are always attention-grabbing for me. personally, I did so many of them & I think the trend is going to be continued in the near future.

It's worked by combining two objects that are appropriate according to design brief & we are good to go.

Overthink negative space logos are a disaster. Try to be simple & clever with it.
