They\u2019re inaccessible, often not particularly interactive, and if you try to contact them, they won\u2019t send you anything but a form letter.<\/p>\n<p>At least, that\u2019s what it seems like a lot of the time. As a matter of fact, brands interacting with their customers on social media has never been more common. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalwebindex.com\/reports\/social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Statistics indicate<\/a> that over one in every three internet users turn to social media when searching out more information on any given brand. So it\u2019s really to the advantage of any brand to appear friendly and, well, human.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-People-Talk-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"The People Talk Logo\" width=\"400\" height=\"402\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/402;\" \/><br \/>\nImage Source: ZillionDesigns<\/p>\n<p>Famous brands tend to have a fairly big PR sector in order to carry that out. But, even before we get to that point, there\u2019s something else that many brands do to start the \u201chumanization\u201d ball rolling, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>That something else is a logo that includes people.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Use A People Logo?<\/h2>\n<p>As a species, we are always looking for something to identify with. In entertainment, stories in the news, and in the people we meet, we search out traits that we recognize and respond to.<\/p>\n<p>Companies are more successful and effective when they present identifiable traits to their potential customers. These traits are communicated through branding. Branding is all about the personality of a company: what it stands for, what it offers, what it does, who it helps, and how it communicates.<\/p>\n<p>A people logo gives that personality a \u201cface.\u201d It turns the company from a faceless entity to a persona with likeable qualities.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be a complete person \u2014 logos don\u2019t always leave a lot of room for the complete detail that would be required. Good examples of partial portraits include such branding juggernauts as Kentucky Fried Chicken and Quaker Oats.<\/p>\n<p>People logos don\u2019t have to be \u201ctraditional\u201d portraits, either. Just think of Good Will\u2019s Lego-esque logo. And the \u201cpeople\u201d in the portrait are sometimes more like stylized ideations, such as the smiles from Amazon and Pepsi.<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes, you may not even realize that you\u2019re looking at a \u201cpeople\u201d logo until you take a closer look \u2014 and sometimes more than one.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Resilience-Education-And-Adventure-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Resilience Education And Adventure Logo\" width=\"400\" height=\"402\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/402;\" \/><br \/>\nImage Source: ZillionDesigns<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, whatever the style, whatever the logo, here are ten examples of logos that include the human element, lending a friendly face to famous brands.<\/p>\n<h2>Mascot Or Character People Logos<\/h2>\n<p>Mascots are one of the easiest ways to humanize a brand. Mascots give the consumers a direct person to identify with, someone who likely has feelings and motivations just like theirs.<\/p>\n<p>And while mascots are often thought of as being animals, albeit often with a human range of emotions, choosing a human \u201cmascot\u201d makes it even easier for a customer to identify with the brand.<\/p>\n<p>A human mascot or a representational character, or characters, is a great way for a company to say, \u201cLook! We\u2019re people, just like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Kentucky Fried Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>This is definitely one of the more famous examples of a character mascot. The Colonel is so well known that parodies of him pop up all over, and his newest incarnation is even played by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrn.com\/marketing\/reba-mcentire-be-kfc-s-next-colonel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Reba McEntire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the logo itself, however, the traditional design varies a little. But whether it\u2019s a circle or a \u201cbucket\u201d shape, the feature is the smiling face of Colonel Sanders, with his trademark bow tie, glasses, and goatee.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>Colonel Sanders, based on the originator of KFC, is a smart choice to keep as the logo and the mascot. Not only is he the internationally-recognized face of KFC, he also exudes a feeling of down-home old-world charm, giving KFC, as one of the biggest brands in fast food, a likeable face.<\/p>\n<h2>Quaker Oats<\/h2>\n<p>The well-known \u201cQuaker Oats man,\u201d meanwhile, isn\u2019t based on any particular person, but rather an amalgam of positive personality traits designed to be appealing to the viewer.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>The logo actually got its beginning way back in 1877, with a full-length image of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straightdope.com\/columns\/read\/1553\/is-the-guy-on-the-quaker-oats-box-john-penn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">original Quaker Oats mascot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, the Quaker logo is just a portrait of the Quaker Oats man, usually in full color. There\u2019s a lot of history to the mascot, so it isn\u2019t surprising that Quaker has chosen to stick with the same basic logo, albeit with some updates through the years.<\/p>\n<h3>Wendy\u2019s<\/h3>\n<p>Wendy\u2019s is another fast food chain that has chosen to use a friendly face to create a mascot easy to identify with, and it works. Wendy\u2019s is enduringly one of the most popular chains in the United States.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>Though Wendy herself has gone through a few updates through the years, much like the Quaker Oats man, the basics remain the same: snub-nosed, friendly face, freckles, and two red pigtails.<\/p>\n<h3>Foot Locker<\/h3>\n<p>Foot Locker may not be one of the first logos that come to mind when you think of famous logos that include people. The referee in Foot Locker\u2019s logo is a little less of a mascot or character and more of a representation of the standards and values of the company as a whole.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>But that\u2019s exactly the function of a logo: it should send a message. And given that Foot Locker is one of the biggest retailers of athletic footwear, choosing an honorable, market-appropriate mascot for a logo is a smart choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Stylized People Logos<\/h2>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Comodita-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Comodita Logo\" width=\"400\" height=\"402\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/402;\" \/><br \/>\nImage Source: ZillionDesigns<\/p>\n<p>Not all people logos are immediately apparent. And not all of them are a whole person, either. These logos belonging to some world-famous brands use highly stylized versions of human features, which still manage to evoke the same feeling of commonality with the consumer.<\/p>\n<h3>Amazon<\/h3>\n<p>Amazon\u2019s logo has morphed a bit over the years, but the current one includes a very humanizing \u201cpeople-inspired\u201d design choice: a roguish smile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty accurate reflection of the expression we usually wear when we get a package in the mail, so on the whole it\u2019s a great logo choice for this company!<\/p>\n<h3>Starbucks<\/h3>\n<p>You can trace the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fineprintart.com\/art\/history-of-the-starbucks-logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">evolution of Starbucks\u2019 siren logo<\/a> through the years, but some things have remained constant: though the siren is obviously part fish, she still retains the serene human smile we\u2019ve grown accustomed to.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>This logo is a favorite for its dedication to a vintage-inspired classiness, and at the same time the human aspect of the siren still gives us a \u201cpersonality\u201d to latch on to.<\/p>\n<h3>Goodwill<\/h3>\n<p>Goodwill\u2019s partial-face logo is very stripped down and simple, and seems to be inspired by the Lego man.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>Little more than a stylized line drawing with a dot for the eye and a smile, the Goodwill mascot still manages to evoke the calm and peaceful feeling of having done something positive for someone else.<\/p>\n<h3>LG<\/h3>\n<p>LG goes the extra mile with its logo, combining the letters of the company name to form a winking, smiling face.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>It\u2019s super-stylized and super-simple, but it\u2019s also effective on a lot of levels, giving a friendly, inviting face to a big brand without a lot of details.<\/p>\n<h2>Hidden People Logos<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, people logos are so stylized or so simplified that you may not even realize that you\u2019re looking at a people logo until you take another glance.<\/p>\n<p>These two brands are classic examples.<\/p>\n<h3>Pepsi<\/h3>\n<p>Pepsi, much like the example of Amazon above, has almost hidden its human features within its logo. But the company\u2019s description of its own branding makes it clear: that \u201cswoosh\u201d in the middle of the Pepsi globe is a stylized human smile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>While this isn\u2019t a traditional choice as compared to a lot of the people logos listed here, it is still based around the choice of a human element to give a humanizing effect to a big brand.<\/p>\n<h3>Tostitos<\/h3>\n<p>Tostitos is a great example of a \u201chidden\u201d people logo. You may never have realized that there are even people involved at all \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n<p>The two \u201cinside\u201d Ts in the brand name are stylized to become two friends, sharing chips and a bowl of salsa.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>This is one of our favorite examples because it isn\u2019t quite as obvious as many of the more traditional \u201cmascot\u201d people logos, but it still definitely raises a smile once you realize what\u2019s hidden in the logo.<\/p>\n<h2>The Overall Effectiveness Of People Logos<\/h2>\n<p>As the examples above have shown, using a person, or multiple people, in a company logo can go a long way to creating an extra connection between the consumer and the brand. This is especially important for bigger brands that have to fight the \u201ccorporate juggernaut\u201d cliche.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/People-In-Supply-Chain-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"People In Supply Chain Logo\" width=\"400\" height=\"402\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/402;\" \/><br \/>\nImage Source: ZillionDesigns<\/p>\n<p>But people logos are effective for brands of any size, for many of the same reasons. Whether to establish a character or mascot, to create a personal connection, or just to raise a smile, including the human element in your logo is definitely worth consideration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/charity-organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charity Organization Logos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/fund-raising-organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fund Raising Organization Logos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/environmental-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Environmental Care Logos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/wellness-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wellness Center Logos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/coaching-counseling-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Counselling Service Logos<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/selected-logos\/rehab-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rehab Logos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big brands may seem to have a wall around them.
