Have you ever pondered the reasons behind the association of certain colors with specific brand logos? Ever wondered why the bluebird is instantly recognizable? If not, then maybe you’ve noticed the prevalence of blue in some of the world’s most recognizable logos, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Skype, and Telegram. A neuromarketing expert sheds light on why major players like Google, Facebook, and Twitter all opt for the same color branding. Recent research from print company Solopress has revealed the best-performing colors for business logos across various industries, including food, drink, fashion, finance, and tech. Additionally, it explores the psychological impact of color on our purchasing decisions. Interestingly, black and blue logos dominate the tech industry, accounting for 53% of the most successful brand logos worldwide. Specifically, blue is commonly used in social media apps and is utilized by 30% of the top-performing tech companies. So, why is this the case? One might assume that they would want to differentiate themselves, right? Well, neuromarketing expert Katie Hart explains that the color blue is now often associated with communication as it evokes feelings of security and safety. Furthermore, even slight changes in the shade of blue can make a significant difference. For example, Google altered the shade of blue used for their links during search results, introducing a more reddish hue. Interestingly, most people didn’t consciously notice the change, yet it contributed an additional $200 million in advertising revenue annually. Surprisingly, blue also has a calming effect, reducing impulsive tendencies and lowering heart rate, despite not being the first attribute one associates with social media apps. On the other hand, the food and drink industries favor red and pink, which account for 41% of the food industry and 29% of the drink industry. Longer wavelength colors like red stimulate recipients, inducing action and increasing appetite, heart rate, and blood pressure. Consequently, it encourages faster behavior, impulsivity, and potentially more consumption, making it an ideal choice for the food and drink sectors, particularly fast food chains. All of these insights into neuromarketing and color psychology highlight their significant influence on our behavior, communication, thoughts, emotions, and ultimately, our purchasing decisions. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect is that color affects us subconsciously, exerting power over us without our conscious awareness or control. It’s certainly something worth contemplating.
