What are some of the most recognizable business logos in the world? McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Starbucks, Apple, Google, Lexus… There are a lot, and anyone who knows anything about advertising can tell you that being immediately recognizable is a business gold mine!
Whether you were around for the beginning of a business or not, usually a company’s logo has its roots in early meaning.
- McDonald’s buildings used to have golden arches built right into the buildings.
- BMW took over Rapp Motors and kept their familiar round badge with a thick black band around it, and replaced the inside design with the blue and Bavarian flag.
- Pepsi wanted to be patriotic during WWII, so they added a swoosh of U.S. flag colors to their scripted name.
Combining name and symbols or image details make for a cohesive logo. And that’s exactly what Ikea is working on.
The Foundation of a Business
Ikea is known for providing attractive furniture that the average person can not only afford, but can take home and put together themselves. Assembly is typically required to get your new desk/bed/cabinets from the flat box that they came in to a finished product you can use.
The new proposed logo gleans those concepts of creativity, do-it-yourself-ness and building and presents the letters I-k-e-a piled up loosely in a 3-D image that looks like they are one assembly step away from building the word Ikea.
Taking the building aspect a step further is the business card concept. One-fourth of the logo is printed on the back of each card, so when four employees with all four card colors (red, yellow, green and blue) come together, they make the entire logo.
