Image
After looking at the top 10 sports logos on the list, we can notice some expert design techniques at work. You can use these three tips to make your own sports logo look professional. Aggressive pets Some teams can make a sports logo with a brand, but most prefer to use a scary animal. The names of sports teams and mascots tend to be large and / or predatory animals, or at least aggressive, like the little hornet.  But your animal doesn't have to be scary, as the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Orioles show us. You can use design techniques to make them look more imposing. For example, if you add sharp angles or narrow eyebrows, any pet will be a little more threatening. A good tip is that your team already has a suboptimal name.

The story behind the Apple logo

Image
When looking at famous logos, have you ever wondered, Where do they come from? Where did the idea, the inspiration come from? Why have they changed over the years? Logos usually have a story. Today we will talk about the history of the Apple logo, one of the most famous logos in the world; have you ever wondered why the bite on the apple? Rob Janoff created the logo in 1977, when he contacted Regis McKenna to become its artistic director, with the mission of designing the logo for Apple Computer. Since then, a number of myths have arisen around the famous logo. One of the most popular myths is that it would be a tribute to Alan Turing, the man who invented the basis of the modern computer. Turing was not exactly recognized for his work, but was sometimes humiliated for his homosexuality and even jailed for indecency. So he ended his life by eating an apple that he had mixed with cyanide. While this has been a good myth, Rob Janoff has den...

The logo is one of the most important points to consider in a business. It is the first eye contact that your customers have with the brand, so if it is well designed it exudes confidence. And if it generates trust, they will be more willing to buy your products or services.

To help you successfully solve the first piece of the visual identity of your business, below we are going to give you 4 e...
