Spring is in the air and it seemed like the right time for a little brand refresh &#8211; check out the new Lellobird logo!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d actually been thinking about making some changes for a while; like many of the clients who come to me for a logo update, I realized as my company grew that the original logo needed some tweaks to grow with me. The old all-yellow logo didn&#8217;t work well on light-colored backgrounds, which affected how I set up labels and letterhead and other things. The rectangular shape of the bird meant that on social media sites my little bird&#8217;s beak and tail feathers were forever getting chopped off to fit in the circular profile pictures. And I struggled with how to use the logo in one-color or black-and-white situations.<\/p>\n<p>The solution was actually pretty simple: I created an outline version of the bird, with some wing details mirroring his angled legs, to give him some definition in both color and black-and-white uses. And I shortened up his tail and changed the angle of his beak and eye to give the logo a more circle-friendly aspect and a slightly cuter appearance. Then I put a yellow fill behind the outline for when I need to add color, just slightly offset from the outline for a playfully retro feel.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really happy with the big change just a couple of edits made! And since I keep referring to my logo as &#8220;he,&#8221; now I&#8217;m thinking that little bird needs a name&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Could your logo use a little spring cleaning? <a href=\"mailto:hello@lellobird.com\">Drop me a line<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lellobird.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/new-logo-cover-image-768x380.jpg\" alt=\"The evolution of the Lellobird logo\" width=\"764\" height=\"378\" class=\"alignnone size-medium_large wp-image-500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lellobird.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/new-logo-cover-image-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lellobird.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/new-logo-cover-image-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lellobird.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/new-logo-cover-image.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the cobbler&#8217;s children do get new shoes!
