Logo aesthetics

[lostinemotion]

gius, brand id, is basically anything relating to the use of their logo, i guess is the easiest way to say it. from the feel of the paper on the business cards, to letterhead style, web design, it all has to have the same feeling.

It says a lot for a good logo, like Chanel or Nike, that their logos have been able to maintain their strength for so long.

LAMB! I love LAMB's brand identity!

The graphics for tees and tags are lovely.

feel of the paper on the cards...
so it's not just the logo...
i guess also, if it's fashion, it could be the way they style the models' with the designer's clothing... and also the set design, shop design?

hmm sounds interesting
It wouldn't hurt starting a thread on it, lostinemotion

haha, those are so cute twomonthsoff
thanks for posting them
now i understand that song "wind it up"
the tune's taken from The Lonely Goatherd song in the film The Sound of music

the imagery it looks like it has to do with Christianity

Yeah well it's 'stolen' from the icon of the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei).

Risky choice for a brand!

wow i love those ... thanks tmo
i wonder why Gwen Stefani chose to call her label LAMB anyway
is there any interview on that?
i remember when she was part of No Doubt, she wore a white tank with AMEN on it, in the same gothic font as LAMB

i admit, i'm drawn to Christian imagery too
i use it in my own work
there is just something about it...

I wonder if it's blasphemy or something although I was born into a Catholic family

[gius]

I forgot to mention, even the actual design of the lamb itself looks like it's from someplace
I wonder if I've seen it in a children's bible !!!!
It has the same cross too
The only thing they changed is that they added a hearts (?) pattern for the hair on its body

LAMB stands for Love Angel Music Baby, I think it's the name of her first solo album.

I'm not very fond of the gothic LAMB logo, because I'm more of a minimalist, but it works well for the brand, because it has a punk/rebel vibe.

Here's a nice logo that I like, because it's simple but not boring, by rearranging the letters slightly differently than you would it expect, it spells out the name of the company as well as a figure.

It's from a site with tons of logos and articles about logo design.

gius - Gwen has said that L.A.M.B. stands for Love Angel Music Baby, but also it was her nickname for her dog when she was a kid/teen. Here's the 'story of lamb', supposedly handwritten by Gwen, and used as a print in the first season.

Also, the dog's name was Maggie.

yes gius your right about brand id...
the most successful brands are consistent with the image.
i notice the one's that do not have a brand id or weak one, get lost in the market.

[gius]

this one's definitely strong

Thank you gius for directing me to this wonderful thread, I find it very interesting indeed. It's great seeing all these labels in one place! .. and very inspiring, I love the Jeanne Lanvin one... ..and as I make and sell clothing as a hobby, I am trying to design that perfect logo. I have two that I designed with my own artwork, I love them, but I have another idea in my mind!.. and it seems the really simple ones work best, which I think I'm slowly getting to.

i really adore the dries van noten label!!
an sometimes the label of "ZARA"
