They offer a sense of belonging and connectivity and the process starts even before the customer notices a brand. A simple logo identity is what brands are aiming for. Perhaps that\u2019s the biggest challenge for designers. Besides the exception of a few brands that have become cultural icons, all others seem to be lost in the clutter with too many symbols. Hence the brands who want to be recognized universally are now tying up their logo identities with brand stories. Here\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/portfolio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">list of eye-catching logos <\/a> with animations you should definitely check out.<\/p>\n<h2>Airbnb Uses A Song In Their Chronicle<\/h2>\n<p>The brand story is well presented in the new symbolic logo which is why the idea caught on and Airbnb\u2019s vision of belonging became universally recognized. This was not possible without a clear brand identity that could maintain uniformity. When belo (the logo symbol for Airbnb) was introduced, it instantly became the talk of the town. While most people were quick to associate it with controversy, the idea from the makers was to create a symbol that could be drawn by anyone and was easy to identify anywhere irrespective of language and geographical boundaries. If the universality of the symbol is to be analyzed, it would emerge as a real success. Now check out how the symbol is cleverly merged with the brand story.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nMITXMrrVQU\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"650\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Johns Hopkins University\u2019s Amazing Discovery<\/h2>\n<p>Now here\u2019s another logo that was redesigned to create synergy with the brand. They have incorporated the story of their identity quest in their brand story to explain the roots as well as the future prospects of this research university. The final design for the main university logo is based on existing iconography and is rooted in the official academic seal. The book represents knowledge and discovery, the globe symbolizes the university\u2019s worldwide reach, and the crest of Lord Baltimore indicates the university\u2019s connection to its community. Here\u2019s the logo formation story.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iued3RW2WM4\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Seimens Healthineers Revitalized With New Energy<\/h2>\n<p>Seimens healthineers is a medical technology company that serves as one of the largest suppliers to healthcare industry and a trendsetter in medical imaging, laboratory diagnostics and health IT. The typeface and color palette is impressive and communicates the message fairly. It is pulling off nicely in a san serif font. However, the brand is unable to create a connection with the dots that appear pointless because there is no meaning associated with them. They appear as a symbolic identity to complement the wordmark logo. On a side note, those dots could also point towards the universe of healthcare system but that\u2019s something we are making up on our own now. Or perhaps they left it unexplained to the viewer\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n<p><!--<center>\n\n<iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8NIN8dJqdc\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n<\/center>--><\/p>\n<h2>Karhoo \u2013 Where Oos Do The Talking<\/h2>\n<p>Karhoo, the cab comparison app, gives you the flexibility to choose and book your cab based on the features that matter most. Well, they are new but know the art of storytelling using the logo symbol. First of all, I would like to congratulate them for a simple but clever use of symbol. Note how the symbol is derived from the wordmark and fits in to their plot. Besides the brand story, the same mark is used to present the process making Karhoo a friendly and convenient app for the users. A beautifully simple world of graphic \u2018wheels\u2019 in all of their sizes, behaviors and colors that scream \u2018choice\u2019.
