Top 10 Brand Design Blogs
A huge issue faced by brand designers like myself, is finding great brand design blogs, for inspiration and knowledge of current trends. The blogs content must hit the right cords not only visually but intellectually. Here at Truly Deeply we are forever celebrating and promoting creative talents and websites, so I thought I would put together a comprehensive list (in no specific order) of my top 10 brand design blogs.
The Most Comprehensive Trend Report on the Visual Language of Brand Identity
Trends in the visual language of brand identity are driven by many factors from the ‘me-too-ism’ of designers and their clients mimicking the visual language of market leaders, to new and emerging trends such as ‘sustainability’ that draw a similar and en-mass visual response from designers all over the world. Over the past 12 months we have collected more than five thousand different brand expressions spanning almost every major industry and category of the western world.
Our 2010 Trend Report has been picked-up and re-published in blogs and marketing publications around the world – so by request we’re providing the report as one, complete pdf download (even if it is a whopping 6.8mb in size).
