It's crazy cause the "bad" one in the thumbnail is way better & more legible than the "good" one.

Got a case of the bad logos? Don’t despair! There’s always a way to turn them around 🤠

[@zackakai5173]

This video had might as well just be titled "how to chase trends and make your logo look instantly dated" Every time a see a company do away with a highlight or a gradient in a logo to make it "flat," the new logo inevitably looks far worse than the old one. Most of the trends described in this video already reek of the 2010s.

[@MultiSciGeek]

While I agree. Logos should be exactly the same in just black and white. How do you do that with a gradient?

[@UCEBuster]

@@MultiSciGeek Halftone printing has been around for something like 150 years.

It seams you have no clue about what you are talking. The first misconception is that a logo should say something about the business. No, it must not, think about Apple, Nike, Adidas.... Most of your "simplified" examples are still to complicated with to much colors and hard to reproduce and recognise in small scale.
