FEATURED POST: Star Wars Logo and The History of The Franchise
The Star Wars franchise is arguably one of the most powerful and famous TV franchises of all time. After all, it’s rare to interact with someone who hasn’t at least heard of Darth Vader or Princess Leia before. The franchise, founded by George Lucas in 1971, has gone in various directions since its first conception.
Although you may know the history of the film franchise, the history of the logo itself is different and has a complicated history to get to the point we see now. In this article, we’ll break down the history of the Star Wars logo from its inception to where it is today. Let’s get started.

In their contest brief, the client described what they were looking for as the following: “It should possibly connote what we do, as when I give my business card as a woman, we are often mistaken as an outlet for lotions or messages.

Also, people always wonder what TGIF stands for (To Get It Fixed….in case you forget the name, you say to yourself, I need to get it fixed….of yes, TGIF).

21 Iconic 90’s Logos to Get Transported Back in Time
There’s no doubt that fashion/ art/ visuals are such a green trend itself when tons of “former styles”, such as the fashion eras, the ’70s, or ’80s, seem to rebirth somehow in the modern era. So, because all eras come back somehow, it’s why today we’ll be living the comeback of 90’s visuals and a bit of 2000s.
That’s why today, in terms of logos, we’ll see that although minimal logos such as Google, Airbnb, or Spotify are the tops of the last decade, logos are returning to a 90s colorful vibe.
In this case, we see that some of today’s logos simply aim for simplicity. Think of the sans-serif word marks and flat designs of Google, Airbnb, and Spotify, for example, and you realize that the adage ‘less is more’ is a popular and effective branding approach.
