Announced Dec. 24, 2021 by Armin No Comments on The Year in Review, Part 5: The Best in Icons, Monograms, Wordmarks, and Mascots
This installment covers logo stuff: icons, monograms, wordmarks, and mascots (which are sometimes the logo and sometimes not but it made sense to bundle them in this installment). There is no minimum or maximum number of inclusions I made… I went with as many as felt right. All selections (except for the mascots) have been rendered in Brand New red so that we can appreciate their design on a more even basis. There are no captions in these posts because I have pretty much written everything there is to write about all these things in the original posts. Perhaps also worth reminding that the order of the selections are my own and not a direct reflection of the poll results, which I do use as a barometer but ultimately I go by gut feel and what stood out the most when seen together.
