Your brand reflects and shapes your relationship with your customers. Like any relationship, it\u2019s a balancing act. On the one hand, your brand has to be reliable, relatable, recognizable, and familiar, but it also can\u2019t be predictable, trite, or worst of all, boring. Boring brands are invisible and voiceless in an increasingly crowded marketplace, while brands that shift design directions too dramatically suffer from the same debacle Gap did<\/a> when they totally changed their logo.<\/p>\n If this sounds like hard work, it absolutely is. But it also can be rewarding and yes, a lot of fun too. What can we say, we\u2019re branding geeks, so we love this stuff!<\/p>\n As digital marketing and branding design professionals, one of the coolest parts of our job is staying on top of\u2014and ahead of\u2014the latest design trends. Not surprisingly, 2023\u2019s design trends are very interesting, and do more than just sell products or services, but give brands a voice in the larger cultural conversation. Trends we\u2019re seeing in other parts of culture and society are shaping what\u2019s happening in brand design (and vice versa) in exciting, inspiring ways.<\/p>\n What are these brand design trends, what do they say about our culture, and what do they mean for your brand? Get inspired and explore these six brand design trends for 2023!<\/p>\n VR & AR<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n Historically, AR and immersive worlds has been outside the purview of most web designers. In 2023, this trend is changing. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is pushing AR\/VR technology as the next frontier, and while they have hit a few snags along the way (to put it mildly), there\u2019s no reason to think the AR\/VR trend isn\u2019t here to stay. Imagine being able to try on a pair of shoes before you buy them online. The Vyking brand<\/a> is delivering this experience by creating technology that reinvents digital shopping.<\/p>\n Brutalism<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n You may think your brand wouldn\u2019t want to be associated with the word \u201cbrutal,\u201d but brutalism is a design movement based around stark utilitarianism. It emphasizes raw materials, muted color palettes, and sharp edges. Brutalism is great for trendy, irreverent brands, as it helps them stand out and attract a younger target audience.<\/p>\n Kitsch<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n For the past decade-plus, design has been getting more minimal. With TikTok on the rise, the pendulum seems to be swinging back (forward?) towards kitsch. A kitschy design has bold, in-your-face elements. Don\u2019t be surprised if 2023 sees websites leveraging pop-ups, brash typefaces, neon colors, and design that\u2019s intentionally low-fi like its 1999…or 1989. Think default fonts, patterned backgrounds, old-school browser windows, simple layouts, and decorative sticker icons that convey an amateur look\u2014even if the designer is anything but.<\/p>\n Dopamine Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that makes you feel good. Okay, there\u2019s way more to it than that, but we\u2019re marketers, not neuro-endocrinologists. Turns out, the colors we see impact our mood, and there\u2019s a connection between bright colours and happiness. When you use bright, vibrant colors, it can significantly boost your target\u2019s feelings of happiness and confidence. Does this make you feel a little manipulative? Don\u2019t let it. There\u2019s nothing manipulative about using colors to help make your customers happy. After all, isn\u2019t that what your brand wants<\/em> to do?<\/p>\n Scrollytelling<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cScrollytelling\u201d websites maximize their one-page designs by elevating the \u201cinfinite scroll\u201d to an art form. As the name implies, scrollytelling use the scrolling website to tell a story, with animations and full-screen displays appearing as the users scroll horizontally or vertically. This design was pioneered by The New York Times<\/em>, and is being used for longer narratives and news pieces. It\u2019s great for telling an immersive digital story like web editorials, interviews, and advertorials, but it also adds personality to corporate landing pages, blog articles, and About Us pages.<\/p>\n Return of the retro web<\/strong><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n Feeling nostalgic for pixelated designs, Skeuomorphism, and even flashy cursors? Good news for you; these retro design trends are all back in vogue! Retro designs give your content an ironic and iconic flavor that\u2019s ideal for irreverent and niche brands, especially if you\u2019re targeting Millennials and Gen Z. Don\u2019t get too<\/em> excited though; the retro trend is taking off because a lot of 12-25 years have never seen it before (#feelingold).<\/p>\n Is your imagination bursting<\/em> with excitement and inspiration right now?
