After I started hanging out at design forums I've seen more and more logodesign that uses hundred colours, four gradients, a drop shadow and some photoshop filters. I know many designers (myself included) sees logos as something that should use a minimum of effects, and if possible no use of gradients and "effects". This has been taught for ages due to printing resources and all the different uses a logo should be used in. Has this suddenly changed? Do you feel that it is okey to use drop shadows and gradients in logos? Discuss
