# Communist Branded Logos These Logos Reimagine Capitalist Companies with Communist Slogans By Akihiko Tse | Published 2013-10-12 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communist-branded-logos References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/361248/Famous-Logos-In-A-Communist-Regime/) & [stocklogos](http://stocklogos.com/topic/famous-logos-communism) StockLogos has once again re-imagined some famous brand logos, this time recreated as communist branded logos. While Karl Marx's principle notion of communism -- or Marxism -- was distorted somewhat by the regimes of Stalin, Mussolini and Mao Zedong, these original takes, titled '[Famous Logos in Communism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix),' on what huge conglomerates would look like in a communist society are hilarious. In one, the [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-show-us-your-meemaws) logo is re-imagined as a social networking tool for party members, with the words "Comrades" emblazoned in the Facebook typeface written above the words, "connecting party members." In another, an [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mls-season-pass) logo is chewed up, exposing only the core with the words, "A byte for everyone" written underneath, while another depicts a fashion brand by stating, "fcuk the rich." These tongue-in-cheek communist branded logos are, by the designers' own admission, not intended as a "serious socio-economic study on the effects of communism on capitalist brands." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reimagined Brand Logos:** Opportunity for companies to explore alternative branding concepts that challenge the traditional capitalist model. - **Political Satire:** Growing demand for humorous and provocative content that blends politics and popular culture. - **Subversive Messaging:** Rise of brands leveraging subversive messaging to resonate with consumers who seek unconventional ideologies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising & Marketing:** Potential for creative agencies to offer alternative branding strategies that push boundaries and provoke conversations. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic designers to showcase their creativity by reimagining well-known brand logos through a political lens. - **E-commerce & Retail:** Brands in the e-commerce sector could experiment with subversive messaging to attract a niche audience seeking products aligned with their unconventional ideologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Provocative AR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-so-happy-animals.md) - [High-Concept Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you.md) - [Satirical Girl Scout Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-scout-cookies.md) - [Logo-Centric Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mls-season-pass.md) - [Fictional Brand Collaboration Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brxndai.md) - [Fast-Food Graphic Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-x-graniph-1.md) - [Drug-Themed April Fool's Gags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin.md) - [Reimagined Legacy Fashion Logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novak-djokovic.md) - [Vegan Food Branding Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impossible-foods-3.md)
