ENVY

Here is a taste of a men's  ENVY long sleeve button down, as well as the Marilyn Monroe ENVY tank for the women. The ENVY line is still some months away from launching but a lot of progress is being made. Stay tuned for a few more sneak peeks to come in the upcoming weeks.

2009 GRAPHIC DESIGN TRENDS

MORE will be the new LESS.  In recent years, designers have become more aware and sensitive to design history movements and styles than they were in previous years. They are discovering ways to make logos reflect their roots.

Minimalism was a strong anchor for swooshes, sparkling little balls and other accidental manifestations. But as of now, we are witnessing a fading out of minimalism, and this weakness is paving the way for spectacular remixes to take over.

A particular style can't emerge and expect to stay at the top indefinitely. Developments in logo design indicate that trends have a short lifespan, going through a "now you see it, now you don't" roller coaster.

New trends emerge only to be contradicted by others that go in the opposite direction.

After proliferation of "bastard" icons, the new logos are harder to reproduce given their solid sense of originality and craftsmanship.

2009 ushers in something new, something experimental, something outrageous. MORE will be the new LESS! Strong visibility and passion are the dictating themes.

2009 will be influenced by:

Psychedelic Pop Backgrounds 



Origami




Arabesque



Classic Modernism



Typographic Logos



Street Art
