2025 Logo Trend Report w/ Bill Gardner
We’re back with the one and only Bill Gardner of LogoLounge to break down the real story behind this year’s logo trends. From emotional storytelling to the rise of activist branding, we explore how design is responding to a chaotic world—and why imperfection might just be the new perfection.

We talk about the evolving role of AI (spoiler: it’s not replacing us), the power of motion and bold color, and the shapes, styles, and type choices that are showing up across the branding landscape. You’ll also hear how to spot overused trends, how to bring clients into the design conversation, and what makes a trend worth using—or skipping.

If you're a designer looking to level up your branding game or just love geeking out on logo theory, this one’s for you.

Hosted by Tom Lauro

In this episode of The Next Level, Tom sits down with Nader Boraie, Chief Creative Officer of NBDco., a design studio known for building holistic brands out of New Jersey and New York. With over 15 years in design and art direction, Nader has carved a path that blends visual storytelling with the rhythm and emotion of music.

Together, they dive into how music has influenced their creative journeys—from mixtapes to mood boards—and explore how a passion for sound has shaped their design sensibilities. They talk candidly about the highs and lows of working on music-focused design projects, share tips on how to attract clients in the music world, and offer up strategies for curating a portfolio that resonates with artists, labels, and creators.

To close things out, Nader answers our signature “Next Level” questions, sharing the advice he’d give to his younger self, the insight that changed the game for him, and what’s next on his horizon.

Whether you're a designer with a beat in your heart or just curious about the creative crossover between music and design, this one’s worth turning up.
