Using visual breaks, warping, fragmentation and distortion captures the imagination. Clever, surprising logos are the result with design elements overemphasized or kerning altered in unexpected ways.
To make sure this style works for a client, provide mock ups on different media to draw them into your vision. It helps bring your design come alive when showing a client how it looks on apparel and signs.

Logos using gradient designs are modern and distinctive. No longer will gradients dominate the foreground. Now designers use them clever ways in backgrounds to add dimension and depth to designs.
Gradient uses color cleverly in a way that appeals to almost everyone. This allows designers to incorporate mood, realism and 3D elements into their artwork.
