As there are increasing businesses around the world, branding is a huge factor. And not just branding; there is a need to stand out. Graphic designing is not limited to just illustrations, but to many types of videos including motion graphics, 2D animation, logo design, etc. 

How custom animated videos can help your business grow?

And one of the major factors in branding is the logo of the brand. And along with the brands, the competition among the best logo makers has also increased.

This blog will tell you about the golden ratio logo design technique. Also, you will get to know why and how I use it in logo design and how you can start applying it to your work.

What is the Golden Ratio?

Suppose you are a designer or trying to know how a designer uses rectangles and circles to form their logo designs or refine them to make them look better. There is a reason that designers are using it, and it is not a random usage.

 In fact, they are using an ancient formula according to which we can make any design look harmonic and more pleasant to the eye – Golden Ratio.

Before I explain the golden ratio in detail, there is a question that you should think about: is beauty subjective? Well, at webdew, we believe it's not all about subjective beauty. 

Why would anyone have to learn design, its principles, color theory, or proportions if it was? In that case, designing would not be considered a profession. 

But actually, everything around us is bound to one formula – the Fibonacci sequence. Nature, space, flowers, seashells, everything. Because subconsciously, we are so used to seeing it. 

There is a reason that artists, sculptors, and architects have been using the formula for centuries already to create their masterpieces.

The ratio is the relationship between two or more elements. It's been called the golden ratio when it equals 1:1.618.

How did we get the number 1.618?

This sequence comes from the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ……………. The next number is the combination (sum) of the previous two numbers.

What is Fibonacci Series?

To get into the golden ratio, first, we must understand the Fibonacci number series. It can be found everywhere, from the number of petals in flowers to the sunflower's spirals and the solar system's patterns. 

Once you become familiar with this sequence, you will see it everywhere. As defined above, This sequence comes from the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,... 

The next number is the combination (sum) of the previous two numbers.

Now, let's see the visual representation of this Fibonacci series. Here we took 1 number as a square shape and reached a number in the order of the Fibonacci series by adding the squares as numbers in square formats.

Now, if you solve this pattern as a puzzle, you will see that these shapes start forming a visual pattern that looks like this.

Do you find it crazy? It is. But wait, it is more than that. 

The Golden Ratio enters the picture at this point.

"The Golden Ratio is the relationship between two quantities where the ratio of the small quantity (a) to the large quantity (b) is the same as the ratio of the large (b) to the whole (a+b)."

Now not only is this type of pattern found in nature, but there is also another type of pattern that is found in nature that is called the Fibonacci spiral. It is also called the Golden spiral pattern. You can form a perfect spiral by adding a circular arc in each square.

This spiral may look very familiar to you as you have seen many shapes like this—for example, the shape of the galaxy and the shape of seashells. 

Here is one more representation that includes circles.

Tips to get started with the Golden Ratio technique

So you want to use the golden ratio in your brand logo design to make it look more harmonious and pleasing? Here are a few tips to get started with the Golden Ratio in your designs. 

 

  • To understand it better, I would suggest you first understand the concept and study the logo as much as the logo, and observe the Golden ratio in their work. The goal is to make your eye trained by the golden ratio view.
  • Trace as many as logos and make notes on what you have discovered. Notice if the golden ratio is used in all the parts of the logo or used in some parts of the logo. 
  • While studying the Golden ratio, you will start using proportions, better understanding the relationships between the shapes and alignments. As you learn, you see that you are making better designs with practice.
  • Use the Golden ratio to fix the proportion of the shapes when your logo designs are completed by 90%. As you start doing this, you will know how you can apply that earlier in your design process. 

But don't rush it, though. The motive is to use it as a guide and not force it.

Wrapping Up

The Golden ratio is a technique or universal formula that famous and great artists use to make their designs look better and pleasing to the eye. 

The golden ratio is not only used in logo design. Many people also use it in paintings; architects use it in building shapes. As I explained in this blog, when it was introduced in the logo design field, people liked it and appreciated it.

Now in this new world of logo design, it is a quick knowledge booster not only for designers but also for regular people to have a better understanding of the Golden Ratio.

Here in webdew, we have a team of experts and experienced designers who can give your logo a new fresh look that makes your logo pleasing to the eyes of your audience or customers and also proportional with shapes and spaces.
