What Makes Something Cute??

Round 

simple 

pastels 

soft, squishy, huggable, 

“baby proof”, no sharp edges

 Add a face!

Food! for some reason.

Animals

Young features. Big eyes but all other features small, roundness, big forehead, small/weak jaw, button nose, chubby.

Essentially...things are cute because they share qualities with human babies. And humans instinctually find our own babies cute to encourage us to care and nurture them.

10 Logo Design Tips for Clients | crowdspring

guidelines for a successful logo

A stand out tip was finidng the balance between obvious and abstract. the obvious has been done a ton of times while the abstract could be too farfetched. Strike for something that is a bit of an “inside joke” in a way. The customer needs some understanding of the brand to get it. Apple is the forbidden fruit of knowledge and technically has nothing to do with computers but a connection can easily be made. Strive for a logo that requires a little bit of thinking. Just a little.
