In recent years, some of the world’s biggest companies have discarded depth and detail to Debrand Burger King, lost weight.<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone found a cleaner edge. VW shared its depth and shadow, as did Kia, Pfizer, Nissan, Durex, Intel, Toyota and a host of other major brands.<\/p>\n

Even the munchable hero Julius Pringle had a flattening make under with shaved head dyed mustache, dilated eyes and new. Pre sprung eyebrows.<\/p>\n

But what prompted this landslide of logo debranding several interlocking forces are at work. The most immediate of which is the pressure of mobile first design<\/a> clients used to ask can you make the logo bigger?<\/p>\n

Such pixel pressure usually means returning to the 2D look of old. Of course this 2D look was more or less the norm until computers took over and.<\/p>\n

The design inflation spiraled out of control. Anyone who is over filtered and Instagram sunset knows the seductive lure of visual excess and it’s a seduction to which the pros are not immune.<\/p>\n
