Logos

The process of distilling everything a company's essence into a single image is fascinating. A company's logo is the bedrock upon the rest of the visual brand is built. Once it's set, it's hard to change. Think of Yelp's logo. It's terrible, but they've got so much equity built into it, changing it now would be difficult. The more time, thought, and effort a company puts into developing its visual signature upfront, the bigger the payoff later on.
