Do you think Spotify's recent logo redesign into a 3D discomorphism ball was intentional to temporarily gain extra awareness?
I think this was a perfect move from a branding & marketing perspective, since it kicked off a bunch of discourse that led to a bandwagon effect causing popular brands to hop on.
Brands transitioning their overall identity, adding new features to their product, web changes, people barely notice. The moment one changes their logo, it immediately draws attention and sparks controversy, this is the power of the face of our brands - the logo.
For this occasion, I turned Google's Gemini logo into a 3D discomorphism star, someone who hasn't hopped on the train, but do they need to ?
I used @FLORA during my workflow to create the skeumorphism direction based on the Spotify's logo, expanding this further to a motion experience, finalizing the concept in @Jitter .
