• Animated Colorless Logo Designs: With the popularity of minimalism in logo designing came the popularity of the black and white color theme in design, too. Due to the simplicity of the color theme i.e. black and white, not only does the logo look less ‘out there’, but it also has the potential to significantly lower printing costs for the business. This, when used with animation effects, has a great outcome! The animation is actually a very steaming designing niche currently and is predicted to maintain this appeal in the years to come.

  

• Typography in Logos: One of the most favorite trends in logo design is the use of typography in it. A useful characteristic of typography is its ability to create a picture out of alphabets.

This may include creating relevant symbols from alphabets or just making the text stand out to make it unique as a logo.
