6 GOLDEN Rules Of Logo Design (Logotype) - 100% Essential!
Рет қаралды 508,625
Күн бұрынWe're looking at 6 of the most important golden rules of logotype when designing your logo.
Here's the FUTURE of logo designing: • Are You Ready For The ...
The logotype is half of your logo, meaning if it fails then your logo design fails entirely. Follow these rules and you'll likely end up with awesome logo designs, realise how to design a logo properly, and be one happy graphic designer.
I've made a separate video on the golden rules of logo design, but todays video talks strictly about the logotype. This is the typography or text that makes up the logo. However, it isn't just a case of slapping your favourite font onto the logo design itself. Nono. You need to carefully think about it from the point of view of the target audience, and how they can be affected by your logotype choice.
Logo designing goes way beyond what many people think. In this tutorial I hope that you can become the best graphic designer that you are able to be.
If you found todays video on the golden rules of logotype design enjoyable or useful, let me know in the comments section and drop a like on your way out. Subscribe to stay updated to all of my uploads and until next time, design your future today, peace ✌️

Thank you for this great video Satori! As for Zara, when the new logo came out I was also confused. But with time I find it amazing. Just yesterday I was in Zara buying a jacket and I've taken a closer look at how they've implemented the logo on the inside of their clothes. Only then I realized that one of the main reasons why their letters are so close to each other is - you can print the logo much bigger on clothes than before, where the logo was wide and shallow. Now it's like a rectangle and can be seen way better. Also, in the Zara store I visited, they still had the old logo above the cash register. The old logo doesn't look nearly as creative as the new one. I like the new Zara logo. It's unusual but with time it settled really well.

Hi thanks for the comment and opinion. I replied to somebody who commented something similar, and so I will paste that response here. The problem was a need for more room, or moreover, that the design needed to fit into a less wide space. Instead of cramming the logotype together in an ugly fashion, the designer could have thought of a novel and original design solution to solve that problem. Instead they merely bunched the lettering up together as an eye-sore. How is that ahead of it's time exactly lol? A cat could literally do the same thing by accident while walking along the keyboard. The majority of designers in the community agree with this notion, and those who disagree either have some sort of attachment to the brand, or don't understand good design. Design is a problem solving exercise, and this was one of the worst solutions to that problem.
@thomasbecker5687 Жыл бұрын
@@SatoriGraphics I am also going to respond my reply here, simply because I think these arguments are subjective. These are bad arguments you're making. "Merely bunched up the lettering together as an eye-sore" is like someone saying that the National Geographic yellow rectangle logo is "merely a simply rectangle that communicates nothing." And THEN saying that most graphic designers share the same notion. This is a fallacy. How about the notion that MOST designers are actually pretty bad at designing, and aren't as experienced as someone who gets to design for a $13 million-a-year profitable company such as Zara? How about the notion that the company that owns Zara saw a significant rise in their stock prices, starting from the time of the logo redesign until 2022? How else can we measure success here if not through a business lens? How about the notion that it's super on-brand for Zara or any "high-end" clothing brand to lead innovation within their industry? This is especially true in the fashion industry. How about the fact that all fashion brand logos look pretty similar and this was the best way to stand out and start a conversation? For someone who talks about marketing, you're leaving out a lot of the marketing favor this new logo has, and instead are focusing on merely the aesthetics, which is a terrible way to critique a logo.

@@SatoriGraphics I have no attachment to the brand and I do understand good design, and I still think the Zara logo works. Not sure why you think those are the only two possible reasons anyone would like the redesign. Whether you think it was a good solution to the design problem at hand is really irrelevant. Whether it was done on purpose is also irrelevant. Also, the notion that the majority of designers in the community agree that it's bad is irrelevant. I don't even understand how you can claim to know what the majority of designers think. At the end of the day, regardless of whatever "rules" are in place, creative solutions are always judged with some subjectivity.

The golden rule should be that everything is subjective in the end. Most time the product sells itself due to its reputation so the logo is just something to identify it by. Honda has a reputation for building long-lasting, fuel-efficient cars that perform exceedingly well which means less of a money drain for a middle class person not because it symbolized luxury.

Hi thanks for your video. Regarding the redesign of ZARA which is a Spanish brand, not an English brand, I totally agree with you that they shouldn't had done that rebranding. Just to clarify here a bit. The redesign was done by one of the iconic French Creative Director Fabian Baron on the 90s and 10s in terms of fashion magazine design. However the problem is that pulled the old fashion fashion trick of tracking/kerning Bodony type. What he hasn't really realized is that that doesn't work for branding, specially for a shop name that needs to be seen from far as well as reproduced in all sort of mediums. I do have to say from the most basic type choice, that the previous font told fashion men while the rebranding font is now fashion for women. Thanks

We like or not Zara, has been the most forward company in fashion business worldwide. Will Comic Sans work? well, they proved that you can become the most successfull fashion brand in the world without doing ANY advertising during 40 years. I think that's good enough.

@drew9453 Жыл бұрын
He made some solid points about misreading the logo and not being able to recognize that it's replacing the letter... but at the same time, I feel like it's up to the designer's ability to find a way to make the design to come alive the way you intended it to be perceived. You have to trust your own judgment on this point. I agree with a lot of what he said... but I also believe that there have been some decent examples of it actually working for other applications. I've designed for multiple clothing lines, and worked in a print shop for a good amount of time in my early stages of designing. For a t-shirt design, there are ways to make this work and be able to make it noticeable. For a logo design, it's a lot harder though, because you want to create a sense of familiarity with the consumer. This matters when it comes to the masses. What WE may be able to see (since we're the ones designing the logo) the average consumer might not be able to. The safe thing to do is... just not do it. You want to simplify the brand enough to NOT confuse the consumer.

I do not know Zara or what they do, or what the old logo looks like. But if I were to judge solely based on the actual version with tight kerning vs the sample with normal kerning, I would say the new Zara logo really does well. The tight kerning made it really unique. Once one understands the principles and why they are needed, one can move beyond them. For example, if the goal is to add more kerning to make it more readable, what happens if a rebranding is done after the brand is already well known and can still be identified without picking out each letter? Nevertheless, I agree with all the principles you've mentioned. But you should really reconsider using the Zara logo as an example.

The reason manual kerning is a necessity is because it's virtually impossible for a typeface to be designed so that its kerning conforms to all imaginable letter arrangements. Yes, kerning groups exist, there are certain features that can help speed up the process, but sometimes in order to achieve the right balance you have to look at the word as a whole, not just at individual pairs or triplets. There's just too many possible combinations for this problem to be solved by the font designer. If you rely on automated kerning in a logotype, it's going to be sub-optimal. There is also a big difference between text and display type (sort of related to 4:44), and kerning is part of that difference. But automatic or built-in kerning can be a good starting point, depending on your workflow. Good video.

I have to tell you that I am a regular viewer and really love your content and appreciate the wisdom of your advice but I find rule no 1 somehow debateable.. It makes sense because your point is to emphasize clarity but because of the subjective nature of perception, there is no rock solid science like tons of research or mathematical equations behind this to make it an absolute rule. However, I understand the logic which is : '' don't replace the obvious with something less obvious''. That said, as you know, some symbols or icons are almost universally recognisable by almost all cultures and therefore are likely to achieve a better communicational result than a letter and give the logo an artistic edge with better retainability.. Who doesn't remember the I love NY logo?
@ivsonaguiar4979 Жыл бұрын

I think as general rule of thumb, rule number 1 is a excellent advice "Readability and Clarity" over "form and shape" (some even argue over color) but as all rules, in some situations someone can get away with it breaking the rule. The More wide spread products or service the more readable the brand must be (Wider audience) ; in the other hand some Niche and new products can get away breaking this rule because they need instant association between the brand and the product. Brand name, Audience, phonetics, geographics, what typeface and culture play an important role part on it. The bad thing about it is completely related to rule number 6, universally recognizable symbols and graphics (or very attached to a "word") can become trend quickly and someone can run in many designs looking the "samey" in aesthetic (less brand retainability and less brand recognition).

Then of course you need to be comfortable in design software. I suggest learning about marketing as well. It's very important.

Seventh Golden Rule. Be beautiful and harmonious. You could in effect follow all the previous rules and still create something ugly. A good designer knows beauty and unfortunately it’s something that cannot be taught. However, if understood by the viewer or not it’s extremely important to our feelings and these days is very much underrated.

Hello, I have a problem with snapping on Illustrator I neither used snap on grid/point/pixel but it used to snap on object like a square to a square by itself when I move it to make it snapped. But it’s not anymore any resolved?

Sometimes redesigns take a while to sink in, maybe because we were used to the old version, and the newer one might seem out of place. I remember when Zara presented the new logo and I just couldn't get my head around it. Now I can see it works pretty well, especially on tight spaces like clothing and price tags. Zara is a company known for its high fashion focus, all the while maintaining very accesible prices for the masses. It's the Honda of clothing. Zara is spanish by the way, not english.

HIGH FASHION FOCUS, don’t know if that’s what I would call High Fashion my friend. More like focus on disposable cloathing made in india or china and ripping off designers.
@drew9453 Жыл бұрын
Yeah... you're definitely confusing "high fashion" with "fast fashion"... these are two very different world's. While brands like Zara and H&M make a lot of money, they are far from a high fashion brand.

I started off coming to this channel exclusively to learn. Then somehow, over the last few years, Satori graphics got exponentially hotter, which has managed to become quite the [welcomed] distraction in the learning process for me. No complaints though, just thought I'd share to see if it was just me or not lol.

I have dyslexia, which makes reading more difficult for me, and I’ve gotten the habit to guess words instead of fully read them. With logos that replace a letter with an icon or symbol I always read them wrong, you could say my dyslexia helps me to be a better designer by instinctively not understanding these types of logo’s hahah

Wow that's a really interesting insight. Thanks for sharing
@noahgeerdink5144 Жыл бұрын
@@SatoriGraphics you could make a video about keeping disabilities in mind when designing, truly good UI design should account for this. Dyslexia effects 20% of us population alone. Colourblindness and ADHD or ADD effects about 8% of us population. Ect. You get the point, if you are designing something it is very likely that some portion of that group will have some kind of disability and if you can, you should account for those people to make the design truly effective. In fact, in many cases, accounting for disability makes design (especially product design) better.

lol. Instead of arguing, try showing them your design next to their idea, and explain why yours is better. Also you can show how notorious designs already do this and why it works 👍

I disagree about the Zara one, I think the overlapping letter work pretty well. I just don't like how boring so many logos tend to be, especially if they're nothing more than the brand name written in pretty average font. I like it a lot more when they put effort into making their own unique font or at the very least playing around with an existing one in a creative way like with the Zara on here.

One grievous fault not mentioned is making the logo an illustration - i.e. dependent on color or tone. Such logo designs often require different versions for different reproduction methods - e.g. signage vs letterhead vs newspaper ad.
