# Evolutionary Logo Diagrams Stock Logos Predicts How Companies will Look Over Time By Matt Ho | Published 2011-09-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stock-logos References: [theawesomer](http://theawesomer.com/past-and-future-logos/125846/) & [stocklogos](http://stocklogos.com/topic/past-and-future-famous-logos) Instead of waiting for famous companies to change up their look, Stock Logos has decided to give viewers a preview of how some of the most recognize labels will evolve over the years. Stock Logos has depicted a couple of drawings of how companies may look as the years go on. They've covered iconic labels such as LG, [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-pro), Gap and Volkswagen with some fairly interesting interpretations. What's interesting is how the future appears to indicate that the look of labels will head towards a simplistic, minimalist approach. Since [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-coffee-house) and [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mls-season-pass) have pretty much been doing that these last couple of years, I really wouldn't be surprised if companies decided to strip down their logos to the bare minimum. The overall results of the other brands covered are both hilarious and intriguing at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Simplistic Branding:** As companies move towards a more minimalistic approach to their logos, there is an opportunity to create branding solutions that are simple yet memorable. - **Evolutionary Branding:** By predicting how brands will evolve over time, there is an opportunity to create innovative branding solutions for clients that anticipate future trends. - **Humorous Branding:** As seen in the Stock Logos article, there is an opportunity to inject humor into branding solutions to capture consumers' attention and make a memorable impression. ### Where This Applies - **Advertising and Marketing:** The advertising and marketing industry can utilize evolutionary logo diagrams and simplistic branding trends to offer clients innovative and effective branding solutions. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can use the minimalist approach to differentiate their work and help clients stand out among competitors. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can leverage the humorous aspect of branding to create unique and memorable campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Automotive Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-brand.md) - [Adventurously Reimagined Logo Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-logo-desgin.md) - [Minimalist Logo Rebrands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-logo.md) - [Next-Generation Soda Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-pepsi-logo.md) - [Logo Visualization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-metal-visuals.md) - [Accessible Brand Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-enough-logos.md) - [Refreshed Pantyhose Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leggs.md) - [Soda Logo Rebranding Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-logo.md) - [Mountain-Inspired Soda Rebrandings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-dew-2.md)
