In this episode, I chat to Pete Miller, part of the co-founding team at Octopus Energy, who helped design one of the most recognisable new logos in Britain.
Hear how Octopus used two proven psychological principles to build a logo people remember (and why those same principles are being ignored by most of the industry).
You'll learn:
- Why a distinct logo made one beer taste 5% better
- How a 1933 German study explains why Octopus stands out
- Why brands from McDonald's to KFC give their logos human faces
- And what happened when researchers asked people to turn off a robot
