5 Incredible Simplified Logo Rebrands You Didn’t Notice

11/17/2023

0 Comments

 
A logo is one of the most important parts of creating a unique and recognizable brand- and our world is saturated with them! However, sometimes companies are up for a change and go for a rebrand. Sometimes these logo rebrands don’t succeed, but other times they improve on the original and then some! Keep reading for 5 great examples of logo rebrandings that simplified the original design, and why they’re so great that you might not have even noticed they changed!

1. Burger King
As part of their first rebranding in 20 years, Burger King modified their classic red, yellow and blue logo! The rebranding changed not only font, but the company colors as well. This new logo resembles the original by keeping a burger shape, but also simplifies the font and imagery into just yellow and red. Sleek!

2. Starbucks
Starbucks is another brand that gradually simplified their logo over the years. Beginning with the classic two-tailed mermaid, the original logo was black. As time went on, the chain began using their dark green color as well as a more graphic mermaid. Despite these changes, the logo is still recognizable through each transition- the mark of successful rebranding.

3. Dunkin’
Not only did Dunkin’ simplify their logo design, but also their name! Dunkin’ Donuts became Dunkin’, and their logo followed suit. Doing away with the coffee cup image but keeping almost the same font and colors helps keep the brand consistent despite the name change.

4. Airbnb
What a drastic change! Airbnb’s original logo was a lot to take in, with cursive font and a light blue and white coloring. It was not sleek and didn’t help get the brand’s mission across. Now, their new logo completely changed the brand font, colors, and even added an image! The result is a much more straightforward, simple, and appealing design.

5. Nissan
Nissan’s logo has always resembled the wheel of a car, with the shiny gray coloring and the circle around the words. In 2020, the brand simplified the design even further and changed the silver of the wheel to black lines. The font also underwent a simplification. Ambitious!

Have you ever bought a product from a business without realizing that the product was made unsustainably, or that the business was not one you want to support? We’ve all been there, and it’s not a good feeling! 

Luckily, there are a multitude of brands that focus on sustainability and giving back that you can support without feeling any guilt! By co-branding with these brands, you’re demonstrating that you care, value, and support doing good in the world. And doing good feels great.

          1. Welly Water Bottles
Welly collaborates with charity: water to help bring access to the 785 million people in need of clean water. Having access to water helps keep kids in school and gives women time to take charge of their futures! 

Welly donate 1%+ of all sales to charity: water projects that bring wells and other long-lasting clean water solutions to communities worldwide.

          2. FinalStraw
​
Single-use plastics are a disaster- polluting our lands, endangering marine ecosystems, and contaminating the food chain. FinalStraw’s mission is to create reusable Foreverables that reduce the need for plastics! They also empower individuals to change their buying habits, and raise awareness of the impacts of our everyday decisions. And, it all comes in sleek, compact, sustainable packaging!

          3. Camelbak

          4. Soapbox Soaps
Founded in 2010 with a simple mission: to empower people to change the world through everyday, quality purchases, Soapbox Soaps lives by the phrase “Soap = Hope”! For every Soapbox product you purchase, we, together, donate a bar of soap to someone in need, either state-side or abroad. Truly a company focused on giving back!

          5. Eos
Ingredients matter, and eos has always believed in adhering to the strictest safety standards while using the best sustainably-sourced oils, butters, and beeswax for their products.

They are partnering with TerraCycle to help recycle the plastics in the spheres that hold their lip balms. In the process, they’re substantially reducing the amount of waste contributed by eos products. Finding sustainably produced and handled makeup can be a challenge, but eos is up for it!
