Pepsi-Cola, American Airlines, IBM, Volkswagen logo rebranding

850

These companies were inspired by Swiss design techniques to rebrand their logos into more simple, cleaner forms. The brands wanted a more internationally recognized logo that stood out from competitors. The logos became less condensed,  more legible, and sans serifs were used to convey a more modern look. Many other companies were inspired by these new style techniques and incorporated them into their own logo designs, transforming society into a new era of design.
