How to design a logo in 30 seconds
|
| ||||||||
| Compare: | How much does a Logo cost? |
An Atlanta-based brand, Malcolm Fontier, who produce “modern carryalls for work and travel” recently shared this video with me; it shows how they came to create their “double rectangle” logo within 30 seconds, poking a stick at the usually drawn out logo design process.
I thought the video and claimed true story was an interesting way to promote their brand & products, which seems to be geared towards those with minimalistic sensibilities.
I personally like the mark, and think it works quite well in context of the carryalls (see pic below), though the mark does have its fall-backs such as not being able to give voice to the actual brand name, Malcolm Fontier. With this said, I’m glad to see that they went with the logotype on the header of their website.
The overall brand identity of Malcolm Fontier has been pulled off quite well, though it does remind me of the approach Fresh Jive took a few years back (see pic below), when they chose to have no logo at all, just a white rectangle. I think Malcolm Fontiers’ approach is more successful as people can still come to identify & relate to the two rectangle mark, as appose to a blank space.
We’ve discussed ‘simple‘ logos on here before, but I’d like to hear your opinion on this one too.

Can a logo ever be too simple?
I’ve brought this question up once before in a slightly similar post titled “When is a logo too simple?” but after posting Kate Spade’s new logo (shown above) on Logo Of The Day, I think it’s a good time to bring it up again.
