“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
R.I.P Steve Jobs 1955-2011

W: Is it Necessary?
Again! Moving Brands blows wind of change on another brand, this time is Wikipedia. At first glance, the proposed brand marq looks very neat, contemporary and has drastically progressed from the current one, font weight is ultra light with very subtle blue.
I like it and looks great but does Wikipedia really need a rebranding?
Wikipedia isn’t Facebook or My space, it is not a space to kill time “unless you call reading killing time” and its look doesn’t need to be updated very often. Wikipedia has a content and that content is its brand image, regardless what they always talk about how far you can trust information from Wikipedia! well! bringing this point up, there is no other internet source “by far” offer that much of information for every single word, number, name, fact etc… you can think of as good as Wikipedia, hypothetically, believing that all information was not true, not confirmed or written by anonymous.
I spend daily couple of hours as an average and that logo on left corner looks just fine, not a masterpiece but it does the job!
Talking about Design!
I personally can see a massive gab between the current identity and the proposed one, Wikipedia has a very down to earth personality, it is almost a charity but with information, it has that universal language that everyone can grasp, new identity doesn’t have that! very progressive, ahead and i think Moving Brands pushed it little bit too far this time.
The existing identity is very much serving its goal “and i’m not against having new identity at all”, i am personally concerned about Wikipedia ending up like every other social media portal.
Impressive brand development by Brandient for the leading antivirus solution Bitdefender. Inspiration is very unique as well as execution and brand extension!
