Below I will go over 5 Logo Trends to keep an eye out for in 2018.
Creative Typography
Typography is no longer just words on a page, the text, style, and placement should also fit and represent your business and brand. Check out some of these popular styles below.

Broken Lettering
Selective disconnecting letters and using negative space to create a unique design.

Hand Drawn
Typography that looks like it has been hand-drawn, rather than smooth and polished, irregularity is the key to this trend.

Focal Lettering
Adding a focal point to the logo by having a contrasting letter font, color, size, etc.
Simplicity
Designing for mobile and social media brought this trend to life, leaning more for a simpler yet effective logo design. Creating a practical, purpose-driven logo design that removes unnecessary details and keeps just the essentials.
Negative Space
This trend has been around for many years, and it is bound to stay around for many more. Using the negative, background or foreground space, to create an image out of another, allowing you to show multiple ideas in one.
Animation
This trend will probably be one of the biggest in the coming years. Animated logos can draw more attention and communicate messages that a static logo just can’t. These small GIFs or videos are great for almost any logo, and they give you an opportunity to say more about your business directly to your customers.
Social Media Optimized
Advertising on social media is not going anywhere, so your logo should be social media-friendly. Designing your logo with the idea that formats may change depending on what social media channel you are on, i.e., Facebook profile pictures on in a square format, does your logo fit that size?
