“…One recent study examined the difference in likeability and recall between image-based logos and wordmarks, finding that consumers who were less familiar with a company were more easily able to understand wordmarks, but noted that positive reception to more image-based marks would rely on the viewer properly interpreting the brand messaging (Morgan et al , 2021). Another study trained a neural network with over 500,000 logos to ascertain which traits influence memorability and likeability (Hu and Borji, 2018). In 2019, a series of experiments based on processing fluency found that more descriptive logos were positively perceived by viewers and likely led to increased brand equity.…”

Purpose When a new logo is released, it does not have an established meaning in the mind of the viewer. As logos have become more highly scrutinized by consumers and critics, it has become more important to understand viewers’ initial responses to logos. While other studies have researched the impact of aesthetic choices on viewer reaction to logos, this study aims to understand the effect of the surrounding visual identity system when a new logo is introduced. Design/methodology/approach This study combines a content analysis of 335 posts on the logo review website Brand New with the voting data from their polls to understand how visual context correlates with a viewer’s initial response. Findings Increased amounts of visual context correlate to an improved response from viewers. Different types of context that can be presented – from logo variations and environmental examples to videos and animation – have varied effects. Practical implications When releasing a new logo, companies and organizations may receive a better response from viewers if they provide more visual context. Animations may also provide an improved response. Originality/value This study takes a novel approach to exploring viewer responses to logos by combining content analysis with voting data. While most studies use fictitious or abstract logo designs, this study uses actual logos and context to better understand viewer responses.
