Minimalist and simplified logo redesigns inspired by Patreon’s rebrand
Take a look at these insane (unofficial) logo reinventions of some of the world’s biggest brands. These logo redesigns were inspired by Patreon’s rebrand.
Patreon’s recent rebrand takes the trend of logo simplification to the extreme. Patreon switched out their unique “p” symbol for a rectangle and a circle.
Frustrated with the trend of oversimplification, Reddit user /r/g_noodle took it upon themselves to reimagine other big brand’s logos in a minimalist form. Can you guess which brands each of these logos represent?

Starting out easy: it’s eBay‘s logo, simplified!
![Apple Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/apple.png)
You probably guessed that this logo redesign belongs to Apple. Apple’s logo is already quite simple to begin with.
![McDonalds Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/mcdonalds.png)
Starting to get trickier, McDonald’s distinctive golden arches are trashed for some rectangles. I like this one because it looks like fries.
![Twitter Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/twitter.png)
Logo redesign for Twitter. You can see the bird’s head shape with the beak.
![Amazon Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/amazon.png)
This one would actually make a good favicon for Amazon.
![Facebook Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/facebook.png)
Facebook‘s lowercase F is looking a lot more blocky.
![Fedex Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fedex.png)
FedEx still clearly identifiable with this minimalist treatment.
![Google Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/google.png)
Some of these re-imaginations are clearly better than others. Did you get Google from this circle?
![Monster Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/monster.png)
Monster energy drink loses its primal look with these rectangles.
![Nike Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/nike.png)
This one is my favourite because it’s ridiculous. Did you guess Nike?
![Pepsi Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/pepsi.png)
Pepsi‘s logo didn’t need that much of a change to arrive at this circle logo.
![Spotify Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/spotify.png)
This one is meant to be Spotify.
![Subway Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/subway.png)
Subway. Eat rectangles.
![YouTube Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/youtube.png)
I didn’t guess this one. Did you get YouTube?
![Firefox Logo Simplification](/assets/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/firefox.png)
Finally, this one was difficult to guess. Firefox!
That was fun. One must wonder which brand will be next to get the terrible rebranding treatment. How many logos did you manage to guess?
