# Cosmically Inflated Logos The Markie Darkie ‘Various Type Designs' are Colorfully Colo By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-03-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/markie-darkie-various-type-designs References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/graphic/various-type-design.html) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/markiedarkie) The Markie Darkie ‘Various Type Designs’ is a cosmic explosion of color. Taking a simple but colorful logo, Canadian artist Markie Darkie expands it to another level. Injected with her creativity, these flat logos get new life breathed into them. Infusing the letters with a bloated look, then adding laser-like effects with scattered flower petals, Darkie transforms the logos into a different dimension.

Designs that are brighter appeal to those who want to live a more content lifestyle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorful Logos:** Expanding logos through colorful injections creates opportunity for energetic and lively branding. - **Bloated Letters:** Applying bloated looks to letters creates opportunity for designs that look and feel more dimensional and playful. - **Laser Effects:** Creating laser-like effects with flower petals opens up opportunity for innovative designs inspired by nature and technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Opportunities for graphic designers to create more visually appealing logos and branding materials. - **Advertising:** Opportunities for advertisers to use colorful and bloated logos to attract consumers who value optimism and happiness. - **Art:** Opportunities for artists to incorporate laser-like effects and natural inspiration into their work, creating unique art pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventurously Reimagined Logo Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-logo-desgin.md) - [Fantasy Energy Drink Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-energy-ultra.md) - [Colorful Kombucha Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-kombucha-branding.md) - [Accessible Brand Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-enough-logos.md) - [Expressive Beer Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buqui-bichi-brewery.md) - [Lively Soda Rebrands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fanta.md) - [Artful Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-jefe-energy.md) - [Celebratory Odd Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridiculous-design.md) - [Expressive App Icons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-teen-icons.md)
