It’s fascinating to watch these candidates position themselves. Both in the media and with their web sites. It’s also fun to watch them craft a visual image. Some have really good teams behind their identities, and others only so-so. I’ll point out that Gilmore and Hunter have failed the apostrophe test. It only works one…
Logo of the Month #19
It has been awhile since we have posted and discussed a “logo of the month” and today when I ran across the Tiger Woods logo I was very impressed. To have such a simple mark for a name, yet easily identifiable, is impressive.
John Burns
John Burns designs and produces some awesome identities. He’s worked on big names like Intel, Sarah Lee, and Baby Ruth. Just thought I’d link to his site. You can see that by specializing (or at least, offering a site that showcases only one specialty in this case), he’s able to get work in a narrow…

The Logo of the Month has been on hiatus for a few months, but I bring it back today with this clever logo for a soccer team, the LA Galaxy. More details and photos, before and afters, and analysis can be found on Brand New.

For the logo of the month, I nominate this Yahoo logo for Hack Day 2006. Simply inspired.

I think it makes the colonel look 20 pounds lighter. This may have something to do with their new cooking oil.
Interesting that the really push ‘KFC’ everywhere now, then you get to the website and it’s good ‘ol ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’.
I think it’s a refreshing, ‘finger-lickin’ good update of the timeless Colonel.
It’s interesting how he’s no longer tilted, as if he was missing a V8 fix or two.
I think this a great rework that works on many levels.
1. By merely changing the outline color, the Colonel looks healthier, because of the up in contrast.
2. The Colonel appears happier, healthier, in better shape and thinner all because his posture has been straightened
3. He appears more personable and approachable because of the 3d effect caused by the tilted background and the breaking of the boundary by his head
4. By adding the bib, he is transformed into one who serves where before the plantation “master” outfit made him appear as one who should be served.
Interesting effect, considering the logo didn’t really technically change all that much.
Whats up with the three stripes on the new apron or bib as some of you called it. The apron makes me think they have old people serving food there for minimum wage.
The plantation outfit as someone put it is a suit with a southern style tie and represents how the man dressed. This shows the man to be more regal and part of a tradition. As opposed to some server who asks if you want fries with that.
Anyway the new logo isn’t all that different except I have to say the primary blue and red colors looked a lot better IMHO than the maroon and black. The beige on both seems to not be all that noticed on either.
The blue and red also kind of made it seem patriotic, after all the Colonel’s story was the stereotypical American dream. Also I like the “Bucket” shaped background.
Looks like he joined the Weight Watchers or did KFC aquire WW?
How bout this KFC ad from space?

Mark, I totally agree with you about those 4 points.
A much better rendition. Th logo and website definitely is refreshing to say the least! The apron has a nice social touch too. However that new logo is yet to arrive in Singapore!
More confident 4 everyone to eat there and its looks very attractive….like it give KFC a new face.wow….!
