About the Study: The Details
We based our research on the latest Forbes list of the world’s most powerful brands. Since brands frequently change or update their logos, our study reflects only the logos featured on the list. The color white was not included as a design feature if other colors were present. Apple’s white logo was the only exception.
The Results
We found that most brands opt for a blue logo featuring the world’s most popular sans-serif font, Helvetica. Serif fonts ended up being the least used typeface, although it hasn’t stopped Google from being listed as the #5 top brand in the world.

Another epic infographic. Makes me wonder how much something like logo color impacts website conversion rates..
Superb. But I wonder if the companies who use “logo only” also attach an audio with their ads or somehow bring the consumer another sensory perception as to obtaining their brand name.
Was definitely surprised by “Blue” but blue is so generic. There are a million shades of blue nowadays. Is there any particular blue that is prominent? I thought the winner would be red!
Anyway, nice little infographic. Thanks for the data!
Blue is so popular because it conveys trustworthiness. This post caused me to revisit my branding portfolio at http://getlucid.net/portfolio/branding/ to see how much blue I was unconsciously using. Turns out, blue is in the majority of the logo examples there.
Great job! However, you should’ve found the proper Ford logo rather than running a quick trace on that Ford logo ;)
I think it’s a great idea, but very inaccurate. UPS is Brown, “What can Brown do for you”, Verizon is red, Disney is blue, and I doubt Hyundai and Dell can be considered a top brand.
