Should every logo be simple? In this video I'm oversimplifying famous logos. Starbucks, Nando's and Gorilla Glue. What will they look like?

Well, that was fun! Hope you enjoyed the video! Many don’t see the point or humour in this video so I’ll point it out: Not everything needs to be simplified. Simple is complicated. 😂
I legit like the simple gorilla face. Very fun experiment!
that face tho
OMG BOTH OF MY FAVORITE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS?!??!!??!!?!!??!??
OMG! Only 2 Replies + 1 From Me?!
I love your content:D
@BrandonShep New video soon hopefully? 🤞🏻 love your videos!
my brain is oversimplified
hahahahah Great to see you here!
hi dvnty im a big fan of yours and will patersons
He’s here!
Same!
Is ur brain sponsored by NordVPN? Don’t think so.
This video has taught me it's easier to overcomplicate than oversimplify.
I think for us, it's easy to see it being done, but doing it is a different story. There's so much to consider, especially when you want to retain the identity.
This is what I had to realize myself, it is very difficult
Have you thought about just slapping a giant X on it and calling it done?
Gorilla Glue went from a "manly-man's" industrial strength glue to a school kid's PVA real quick 😂
:')
I like what you said about it being "hard to simplify" in the sense of, how do you bring a logo down to its simplest form without losing the essence of what it represents. That's hard to do well. Great lesson. 🙏
the real life of a designer, where one may struggle coming up with ideas,,,, truly unscripted. Love it😁
hahah you're exactly right
For the Starbucks logo I think one of the key points for the logo is the green and white wavy stripes in the logo
I love how you leave the whole process of your random ideas in the video! Some people think we designers just whip out a brand new logo out of the Wonderlogoland 😅 great video as usual, and also! Can I get pinned?
I really liked that you showed attempts without previous rehearsal, it's clear that work like this can't be done in five minutes... But it would have been more interesting if you considered the history and original message of the logos... In the case of Starbucks, it is a mermaid with two tails (representing the seduction of coffee)... I think that based on this premise, simplification could have another path, no? Congratulations for the always interesting and intelligent videos!
Your "masked" Starbucks looks like the Wicked Queen from Disney's Snow White...
Yeppp. Was hard to avoid that comparison by encasing it in a mirror-like oval too, lol
I feel like the simplified trend started out bad by just taking all the personality out of a company, but it seems like everyone has gotten the hang of it and managed to still keep some uniqueness and recognizability in them. i.e. zerox=bad pringles=good.
The initial reception to the simplified Pringles logo was extremely undeserved. I’ve always thought it was brilliant.
the starbuck’s one is the best
Love your frequent reference to the "gobble-dy things" -- they are called a "wattle". lol 🐓
Hello, Will! I am a huge fan! I am from Portugal and I loved watching your interpretation of the rooster. The heart is important, but if you google "galo de barcelos" you'll see that at the end is all about the shape. Please keep rocking!
thats a cool looking keyboard
Great work Will, very educational
love the brandon shepherd shoutout. such a good channel! great work as always; the aesthetic on the starbucks one was cool
I like what you intended to prove here from this video 🎉
Thank you :)
@@willpatersondesign it's so freaking nice to see such great Pro tips From a Pro like you . That helps so much for Noobs like me hahaha !
Keep rocking 😎🤘♥️
@@techwithizzy Thanks it means a lot. Take everything in this video with a heap of salt!
@@willpatersondesign pleasure is always mine Sir !
Also the way you are delivering the message is so funny and sneaky as well 👌
Nandos redesign was funny
your Starbucks logo reminded me of the queen from sleeping beauty looking at the mirror 👁👁
I think the first logo could have been simplified into a singular shape of a rooster without the black stroke. The design Will came up with was a bit of a miss for me.
This proves how logos are more than just a collection of elements. They're engrained in the minds of people as representations of brands and the elements which we believe are "extra" give character to the logos and also a recall factor. Not to forget, they are in the cultural Zeitgeist for years and years and simplifying them isnt that "simple".
Well said!
I actually like the nando's redesign the best of the three but I think that's because I'm way more used to the Starbucks and gorilla glue logos, so any changes to them seem weirder.
Yeah lol I think the same tbh :)
The ultra simple Gorilla Glue isn’t too bad
That was refreshing 😮
I think the ultimate oversimplification font isn't Helvetica, it's Gotham. Set font to Gotham, spell company name like this- C O M P A N Y, put near logo - boom, instant hire
what about an episode paid logo designer vs ai logo🤔
My biggest challenge designing logos is owning the decisions I make. Most of the time I'm unsure (don't like what I make) and have to convince myself before presenting to the client, even if I've gotten positive feedback from trusted sources. Do you have any tips or techniques on how to overcome this?
I enjoyed this video way too much haha
gorilla glue is actually kinda good!
The iconic rooster of Portugal is black lacquer, though.
I bet gorilla glue may want to use your new logo ♥
Starbuck's one was my favorite, all were great though!😮
Hi! I do really like your videos for real,I can’t wait for the new one.
I just wanted to give some review ,which annoys me a lil.
I think you shouldn’t rush that much cus that could ruin the quality of the video. I don’t know why you say that you don’t have time for redesigning stuffs..acc i get it cus some logos take really long time. But I think spendind a lil more time on them would be great. Sorry for my English but it isn’t my first lang :)
Haha this was so much fun! 😂
Who else thinks he made the Starbucks Siren look like the Evil Queen from Snow White?
I think the Starbucks siren looks too much like the Queen from Snow White. Maybe add the hair back? Or give her a trendy new short haircut?
The Starbucks logo could be simplified to just a crown with the mermaid fins on the branch’s of the crown.
Starbucks I would put a circle behind the S make the S white, leave the crown and put three wavy lines under the latter part of the word Starbucks to sorta resemble water but also in the same style as the hair. However I think I left the realm of simplicity. To break it all the way down take off the rest of the letters move the waves under the S with a circle and crown maybe.
Starbucks one is giving the Magic Mirror in Shrek 😭
hahahah
To be hair, how often does simplifying logos really look good? The fact you don't even like your own designs for oversimplification just tells me people shouldn't do it. We rarely like actually proposed logos that do this.
LETS GO PORTUGAL BARCELOSSSS
2:05 that's just love disc from pokemon
Eggs Benedict
Make more negative space by removing alternate stripes in hair and fins. All those stripes are too busy.
Oversimplified Starbucks logo lookalikes the villain from snow white 😆
Oh My Goodness
I follow those accounts and have watched those videos 😯🔥
❤
i wonder if adding the subtle curves to the simplified gorillas mouth that the original has would help it
What should I do when I made my logo so simple that there is no Simpler option
you should honestly have put the gorilla face instead of the O in the simplest gorilla glue one
The Nando’s logo with the just the “N” with the black stroke looked exactly like the logo for a knock off Nandos fast food chain near my house so not too far off 😂
The Starbucks crown needs to be simplified
Gorilla just needs the head
what have you done. you’ve made the starbucks mermaid The Evil Queen from Snow White
For the Starbucks one you could have put money and a star on it
Make logo luxury please. The logo must be kids logos
Probably an unpopular opinion, but the simplified oval variation for the starbucks logo is very good and imo is better than original but people wouldn't recieve it well because they're used to the normal starbucks logo, but it would grow on them, the only problem is that as you mentioned it looks creepy, but I could suggest adding negative lines to represent the texture of fish fins in the background to take attention from the face because it's sort of creepy when all the focus is on the face, but overall I really loved it but didn't like it circular personally but I loved it when it had the oval shape, for some reason it gave it a luxury brand sort of vibe for me. EDIT: Looking back again at the circular starbucks design, the circular one would look fantastic when enlarged and it features fish fins on the sides with the face simplification, I think it'd objectively look better than the original tbh, maybe with some added hair because it'd look sort of creepy. The ultra simplified gorilla glue one is interesting, but I like the original more, the nandos one is a nice try but the original looks a lot better imo, overall nice work dude I really enjoyed this.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I might have to try them again with these suggestions!
@@willpatersondesign You're welcome, thank you for the video ❤
Don't give those companies ideas Will !!!
Bro was about to turn that chicken into a Luvdisc
For me on Starbucks logo l will choose the one with eclipse shape in egg shape kind of
is it just me or the new Starbuck face looks like snow white's evil step mum
I've never heard of Nando's
I wish that brands were never simplified
I think for Starbucks, you missed the STAR as iconic part of the logo. It was in the crown, but you didn't copy the negative space element that made it obvious.
That’s a good point! :)
8:13 Top. Bottom just looks creepy.
Refuse simplification, return to monke.
13:01 IMO, the logo could look a little better if you just erased the eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears off the gorillas face and just keep the original head proportions. But still, I liked your designs.
Would’ve put the heart in replacement of the roosters pupil
I thought starbucks already had a simple design? Isn't it the star over an R? I believe it's called Starbucks Reserve.
Why did you not remove the face from the starbucks one? it was the least memorable element. The crown and fins are the recognisable i think, and the green.
Love your videos, fun challenge.
I fell like the first 2 were already too simple. For gorilla glue, i would just have the gorilla head and glue as text next to it
Can you try McDonald’s?
What app do u use bruh? To design the your logo pls let me know
Adobe Illustrator
Hat.
So much glottal stop. The Americans are going to end up with a better version of English than us.
I actually liked just the heart with the eyeball. Lol. Was it good? No. But it def that oversimplified corporate vibe that really feels like a committee put it together and ran it though a bunch of poorly selected focus groups. Like the vegans hate the chicken or it was too evicative of a specific country with a problematic history. So the only elements that werent offensive in any way was the heart and the eyeball. And then absolutely everyone hates the redesign and they waste a bunch of time and money only to end up using the original logo anyway.
starbucks' one looks like a pineapple
A rooster is a chicken
Fun fact this proves we dead
👋
Amazing to see you overthink the simplifying so much 😂
You just made bad versions of the logos 🤣
🩵🩵🩵
Oof! I love your channel but you're right,these are bad.
haaha. Yeah they are. Simplifying logos isn't always the answer :)
Will, as a subscriber of your channel and a keen viewer of all your videos, I always look forward to your new content, however, this video seemed a bit different from your usual style, coming across as somewhat rushed. Perhaps a more fitting title for this video might have been "An ATTEMPT to Oversimplify Famous Logos: Work in Progress".
It might have been helpful if you would have opened the video with a slightly more in depth case study of a successful oversimplified logo, followed by a detailed process of how you then attempted to do the same.
While it was interesting to see you experiment with these logos in Illustrator, it would have been more impactful to see a final version of each oversimplified logo. Including some examples of how they would look against different colored backgrounds or mocked up in their appropriate environments.
Please take this as constructive feedback from a loyal viewer who appreciates your work and eagerly anticipates your next video. Keep up the great work! Best regards.
Thanks! It really wasn’t rushed though. It’s supposed to be just a fun video showing how oversimplification can create strange outcomes. ❤️
What was the point in this video? Lol
fun experiment. :)
The is mistake in title. It should be "I messed up Famous Logos" :)
I Ruined Famous Logos By Oversimplifying Them... lol
It’s the first time I don’t like a video of yours, Will 😕
Out of all your videos, this one is kinda in the lows. Would be cool to see you put more effort into it, aka sketch some designs first and all. Oversimplification can sometimes be achieved with shape lines instead of just shapes
I think you misunderstand the point of the video. It's just a fun video lol
Im sorry but none of those redesigns look great or work 😅 not everything needs to be simplified. Some logos look great just the way they were designed
That’s kind of the point of the video lol
@@willpatersondesign nonetheless it is still a great video! Thank you for your response!
@@ElChorchis Thank you :)
Stop
Wow, you really butchered that Nando's logo😂
haha, not for the faint of heart
Please stop spreading Fake News. That isn't the new Firefox logo, but the logo of their parent company Mozilla that also makes other products and therefore doesn't have the fox in the logo, because the fox is reserved for the Fire*FOX* browser logo.
nandos was bad
Maby with the hair of the marmaid may look better
why did you make her bald
