I worked on a logo and icon for an Elsevier brand called MethodsX which came alive in a really nice animation to explain what MethodsX is. Animation done by in60seconds.
Philips recent refresh of its logo is among the most succesful logo redesigns of 2013 and I can’t agree more. The subtle adjustments in the stars and the simplifying of the waves make the receognizability easier when the logo is used small. Using the reversed version of white on a blue shield gives it a more modern feel. Pretty clever for a logo that saw the light late 1930s in the current setup.
