Logorama, a short action-movie taking place in the world of brands, recently won the Oscar of the best short animated film. It is the creation of the french studio H5, often awarded in the past. It took them 5 years to complete this 17 minutes animated movie so this Oscar is probably more than welcome. […]

The evolution of big companies logos is always interesting, and I found car companies logo designs to be among the most interesting to inspect. One of my favorite aspect of these is to see how logos are handled when two or more brands are merging (see Audi, Mercedes-Benz or Mitsubishi). Renault Audi Volkswagen Mercedes-Benz I […]

While preparing to massively lay off its employees, AOL (sorry, Aol.) announced a rebranding that looks… erm… Microsofpaintesque! On the typographic side, I like the logo going lower case and taking some distance with the acronym, thus showing the company’s new orientation.

Brand New just released a revised version of the very popular Pepsi vs Coke branding chart (found via Design Notes). I don’t think that the initial chart was designed to be accurate, but to make a point about branding using humor. The revised version shows that Coca-Cola also tried to make its brand change and […]
