Latin Music Gets a New Logo
Contents
Latin music is evolving and so is its logo. Check out the new look for Latin music’s biggest brand.
The new Latin music logo
Latin music is getting a new logo, and it’s a big deal. The old logo was created in the early 2000s and was starting to look dated. The new logo is a refresh that will appeal to a new generation of Latin music fans. It’s also a nod to the past, with a design that is inspired by classic Latin American art.
What the logo looks like
The new Latin music logo is a stylized ‘L’ that incorporates musical elements and is intended to represent the unity of the Latin music industry. The logo was designed by branding agency GrandArmy and is based on the work of Cuban graphic designer Raul Gutierrez.
In an interview with Billboard, GrandArmy founding partner Diego Zamora said that the idea for the logo came from a “desire to come up with something that would feel ownable by the industry and timeless.” The agency reportedly worked with a group of Latin music insiders to come up with the final design.
The new logo will be used by Latin Grammy Awards, Latin American Music Awards, Premio Lo Nuestro, and other major events and initiatives in the Latin music industry.
What the logo represents
The new Latin music logo was revealed today, and it is a beautiful, simple design that represents the diversity and creativity of Latin music. The logo was created by the award-winning graphic design studio Work-Order, and it will be used to promote Latin music on all platforms, including streaming services, social media, and live events.
The logo consists of a yellow sunburst with a red heart in the center, surrounded by a green wreath. The colors represent the four elements of Latin music: sun (representing the energy and passion of Latin music), heart (representing the emotion and feeling that is at the core of Latin music), green (representing the lush landscapes and rich cultures of Latin America), and red (representing the fire and power of Latin music).
How the logo was created
Grammy award-winning Latin music producer and composer Sebastian Krys was approached by the producers of the Latin Grammy Awards to create a new logo for the show. Krys, who has worked with some of the biggest names in the Latin music industry, including Shakira, Ricky Martin, and Gloria Estefan, was given free rein to create a logo that would represent the Latin music industry.
The process of creating the logo
It all started with a logo design brief from the client. Our designers took inspiration from the music genre itself, as well as the client’s direction, to come up with initial concepts. After some back-and-forth, we landed on a winner and got to work perfecting the details.
The next step was to create vector art of the logo so it could be used for both digital and print applications. We also created a brand mark version that could be used on its own or alongside the wordmark.
Once the vector art was complete, we created a style guide to document how the new Latin music logo should be used. This included guidelines for color, typography, and proper spacing. We also created mockups of how the logo might be used in real-world applications like advertisements, social media posts, and merchandise.
And that’s it! The new Latin music logo is now ready for action.
The people behind the logo
A new logo has been revealed for Latin music, and it was created by a team of four award-winning designers.
The team, which consists of Jose Luis Curt Siebelist, Mauricio Valencia, Santiago Carbonell and Rodrigo Perez, was tasked with creating a logo that would represent the diversity of Latin music.
“We kept coming back to the idea that music is a universal language,” said Siebelist. “No matter where you’re from or what language you speak, music is a way to connect with people.”
The result is a simple yet powerful logo that features a stylized “L” made up of musical notes. The colors of the logo (red, yellow, green and blue) represent the different genres of Latin music, while the white space in the center represents unity.
“We wanted to create something that was immediately recognizable and iconic,” said Valencia. “Something that would make people stop and take notice.”
The new logo will be used on all officialLatin music merchandise, including albums, concert tickets and apparel.
What the logo means for Latin music
The Latin music industry is one of the most rapidly growing markets in the world. In order to keep up with the changing times, the Latin music industry has decided to get a new logo. This new logo is a symbol of the industry’s growth and diversity. It represents the Latin music industry’s commitment to its fans and its dedication to its art.
The significance of the logo
The new logo for Latin music is significant for a number of reasons. First, it represents a shift in the way that the music industry is approaching the Latin market. Historically, Latin music has been marketed as a niche genre, but the new logo communicates that Latin music is a mainstream force to be reckoned with.
Second, the logo is a nod to the growing influence of Latin culture on the mainstream. In recent years, we’ve seen an influx ofLatin American artists and influencers in the mainstream music industry, and this logo reflects that trend.
Finally, the logo communicates a message of unity and inclusion. The Latin music community is diverse, and this logo communicates that diversity. It’s a celebration of all things Latin, and it’s an inclusive message that everyone can get behind.
The future of Latin music
Latin music is getting a new logo, and it’s meant to signal a fresh start for the genre.
The old logo, which featured a yellow and red sunburst, was created more than 20 years ago and was starting to look dated. The new logo, which was unveiled earlier this month, is a more modern take on the sunburst motif.
The new logo is part of a rebranding effort by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, which oversees the Latin Grammy Awards. The organization is hoping that the fresh look will help bring new life to Latin music.
“We want to convey to the world that Latin music is alive and well and that it’s evolving,” says Gabriel Abaroa Jr., president and CEO of the Latin Academy. “The old logo had become an impediment to that.”
The new logo is just one part of the Latin Academy’s plan to revitalize Latin music. The organization is also launching a new marketing campaign, called “Latin Music Lives,” which will feature some of the genre’s biggest stars.
“We want people to know that there’s more to Latin music than just salsa and merengue,” Abaroa says. “There’s so much diversity within our genre, and we want to showcase that.”
The campaign will kick off with a series of TV commercials that will air in the U.S., Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and other countries with large Latino populations. The ads will feature performers such as Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Mana, J Balvin, Ozuna, Bad Bunny, Rosalia, and Camila Cabello.
