What are famous logos turning into? The typical, flat and minimal. Some are fine-tuned with customized simplicity; and others have lost their charm. These logos have been stripped into a two-dimensional logotype or brand mark with no element of intrigue what so ever. I\u2019ve personally been a fan of logos that have depth and thus, in the video I aim to share ten awesome hacks you can use to make brilliant logo designs.<\/p>\n

What Is Depth?<\/h2>\n

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, depth is \u201cthe distance from front to the back of something\u201d, which means there should be a z-axis that ideally makes a 3D object. Nevertheless, there are many other ways to inject complexity, deepness and distance in a compact design. Then, there are four-dimensional tricks that create mind-bending illusions with a sense of infinity.<\/p>\n

If you get a chance, look at the art works of 18th and 19th century painters who have turned planar surfaces into magnificent examples of perspective with impeccable detailing. Additionally look at the extravagant works of graffiti by Edgar Muller, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever to better grasp the definition of depth in design.<\/p>\n

As for now, you\u2019ll know exactly what depth is once you finish watching the video, after all I can show you better than I can tell you.<\/p>\n

Depth In Logo Design<\/h2>\n

It is absurd to make a logo without a symbolic or a visual dimension to it, and to an extent these two are interlocked. You can\u2019t add meaning to a logo design unless you strategically include graphic elements, principles and depth infusing techniques. Whether you use shape, line and color to create logos or simply a font \u2013 you can surely augment your logo design with the following hacks.<\/p>\n

Look at these logos that say nothing more than the name itself. You shouldn\u2019t be inspired by them, in my opinion, because there is nothing interesting about them. What do you think?<\/p>\n

Adobe Illustrator To Design Logos<\/h2>\n

While Corel Draw is a software many designers use to make logos, there is something about Adobe Illustrator<\/a> that is irresistible. The abundant tools, panels and options allow designers to experiment, create and even animate complex logo designs for an array of communication channels. To successfully make a winning logo design<\/a> you must have a sense of aesthetics, knowledge about graphic design, and awareness of the software.<\/p>\n
