Branded bird madness? May 04. 0521
What’s the deal with all the bird brand logos at the mo…?
Is this the next drop shadow, the next trend. Maybe I should get me a bird in my logo… or a Badger.
You forgot smallTransport.
Jens, I also doubt the German correctness at this moment, however, when we discussed it at art history, it was Natureingang. Hey, it’s gotta have a name anyway! (Ich komme aus Holland, by the way, so my German may suck a little at times.)
Rob, what do you mean with “Natureingang”? I am German, but I don’t get it. Ok, Natur is the same as nature in English, and Eingang is a german word for something like entry, but the two words put together?!?
I told you what it means in my first post. According to my teachers, and that’s the only sticky issue, Natureingang is the finding of inspiration in nature et al. It was especially popular during the Romance (is that the correct English name for that period?).
Crikey, really need someone with more knowledge of art history here.
“Originality is undetected plagarism”
I’ve seen it spelled Naturingang (“Nature Beginning”) and only in relation to Middle English works like Chaucer.
lol, I just stumbled upon this post again, and am scared that my own site now also uses a bird logo anyway … But of course, this just a nice thing.
Rob – Natureingang? Unfortunately, that is not German :)
Why birds? Because bonsai are so last season :P
They’re all nuts (especially that Oxten fellow – :) )
I think I’m going to make…. (thinking a moment)…
a SHARK logo.
actually, that would be pretty cool.
Dont know about birds, BUT I’ve done a monkey (no not like that) like this: http://www.brown-monkey.com
Okay, fear my art history skills here…
Natureingang. The only German word I like. What you do is inspired and pushed by nature. Currently, nature-related objects as a silhouette are the rage. Adobe CS(2), 9rules, the ones you mention (sorry folks, I just like ducks ;))… There’s plenty more. Silhouettes are all the bummin’ rage, and nature-inspired stuff is just as hip.
There you have it. I think.
(That’s a lie: I prefer Zeitgeist.)
Also, yes, blame me, but copying Denis? Nah. It wouldn’t do his work right.
badgers!? badgers!? we don’t need no stinking badgers!
what about an emu? its a bird technically so you get 2 points there but it doesn’t really look like a typical bird so its individual enough to stand out.
Joshuaink bird came quite spontaneously. It was meant to be a part of the illustration, but then, it was perfect for a logo.
Here are some more worth mentioning bird logos
SRC, was good but never adopted.
These two logos are both great Their vague similarity is a coincidence.
Denis. Yes I saw the ‘SRC’ logo before on your site, it’s a really great example of just how much information a considered logo can convey. :)
Just droped in from Oxton’s…
I remember I first saw logo birds at Sinelogic.
omg my names nathan pitman too. hahahaha. thats all i wanted to say. ha
Quite clearly these others are copying me… you can blame Denis. of course!
Actually, you’ve given me the incentive to finish a post I was going to do last week…. When I have finished that all important client work that is! ;-)
