Logo Royalty

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

One question that I have always had is whether or not whoever designs your logo gets a royalty every time it is used. I think most people just get an upfront fee, but why is that? Musicians get royalties for their music, and so why don’t artists or logo designers? Or how come they don’t at least get their name or initials next to the logo. For instance, I would like to know who designed the Nike Swoosh. It is a great logo, and whoever designed it should be rich, but I doubt they are. I guess logos are simply assets not artworks to most companies, and so they want to pay once for the whole thing, instead of worrying how many times they are or aren’t using it.

Fila’s Folly

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

There comes a point when you see a graphic and it just screams, “I was made in the 80’s!” They are just awful, and it blows your mind that they still use it. Sure there is some value in consistency, but overall you need to stay up with the times and the new graphic designs. The company I have in mind is Fila. They have had the same logo for years, and it is looking worse everyday. It really is straight out of the 80’s, and it could be a main reason why Fila is falling behind other sports companies like Nike and Under Armor. Fila could definitely use a new “F,” since seeing it on a new piece of clothing just makes that piece of clothing look old.
