  2. Hi Jacob,

    This is an outstanding curated list. Even though, I follow most of your posts, this one impressed me a lot. This should be a handy resource for a logo designer. I will keep my designers at ColorWhistle and LogoWhistle, follow these trends and keep inspire our clients in new ways. Thank you.

  3. Nice one.

    I actually had someone request a beard Oil style logo they called it, using the words modern and simple…

    I had to explain that is not modern it’s just trendy, the style they were referring to was a vintage style logo.
