# Rapper-Infused Logos The Kanye West x Adidas Collection Inspired Mike Frederiqo's New Logo Art By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-05-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanye-west-x-adidas References: [complexmag](http://www.complexmag.ca/sneakers/2014/05/kanye-west-adidas-trefoil-logo-design) & [mikefrederiqo](http://www.mikefrederiqo.com/) Mike Frederiqo, a Netherlands-based artist, most recently applied his love for [humanized logo branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix) to the Kanye West x [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami) collection. His work, which infuses pop culture figures into iconic logos, has become so well-known that he has started to sell them printed on apparel like t-shirts and tanks. This most recent art combines Kanye West with the Adidas heritage [Trefoil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-pet-collection) logo. Mike created three different variations of the Kanye x Adidas logo concept and they all contain multiple statured Kanyes in solid colors of gold and black. The true collaboration, which is set to be released by the athletic brand in 2015, is highly anticipated. Mike's logos would actually suit it perfectly so maybe Adidas should take his artwork into consideration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Humanized Logo Branding:** There is an opportunity for brands to incorporate humanized logo branding, like Mike Frederiqo's work, to create unique and memorable visual identities. - **Pop Culture Infusion:** Infusing pop culture figures into iconic logos, as seen in Mike Frederiqo's art, can capture the attention of a younger and more diverse audience. - **Artist-brand Collaborations:** Collaborating with artists, such as Mike Frederiqo, can result in innovative logo designs that resonate with consumers and amplify brand awareness. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the use of humanized logo branding to create unique and eye-catching designs that appeal to their target audience. - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel companies can leverage pop culture infusion, like Mike Frederiqo's work with Adidas, to create limited-edition collections that resonate with sneaker and streetwear enthusiasts. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can embrace artist-brand collaborations to create visually striking and culturally relevant logo artworks, driving interest and sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Playful Character-Adorned Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil.md) - [Artist-Designed Streetwear Logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaolu-slawn-1.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Reimagined Sneaker Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-adidas-superstar-ii.md) - [Artist-Centric Networking Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-snipes.md) - [Remixed Artist-Designed Logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix.md) - [Sportwear Celebrity Fusion Tease](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-x-adidas.md) - [Artistic Apparel Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-kenshi-yonezu.md)
