First, as a consumer; second, as a designer; I couldn\u2019t help but notice how so many of my favorite brands are using similar color palettes for their logos<\/a>. If one logo becomes a hit in an industry, other emerging brands follow suit and use similar elements of design.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the next question that pops in my head is about the role of the uniqueness of design. How does it contribute to the success of a logo? Are there any defining design elements for each industry? How would the consumers react if their favorite coke brand turned its logo to pink or sky blue? I guess there is a fine line between exceptional (in the sense of being original) and successful (while conforming to the existing design trends within an industry).<\/p>\n

Famous Logos On The Color Spectrum:<\/h2>\n

If we consider only one design element, i.e. colors, we can see how certain colors dominate within different industries. For example, most of the logos of computer industry<\/a> are designed blue, whereas, restaurant logos<\/a> incorporate colors ranging from orange to yellow. Is it solely because the color orange is known to stimulate appetite?<\/p>\n

There are, of course, many exceptions to the color rule when it comes to corporate giants. We collected many of such trend setting brand logos<\/a> which have achieved immense popularity by defying the standard branding approach in their respective industries.<\/p>\n

Check out our color spectrum of famous logos<\/a> and see which color has the most variety and number of logos associated to it.<\/p>\n
