About once a month, there’s a new logo to fight about on the internet. The biggest one in recent memory was the highly controversial Hillary Clinton logo, which did not escape scrutiny from Vox.com either.
But as a designer/filmmaker, something about these repeated discussions struck me as missing the point on what makes logos tick. It often has little to do with the subjective musings. So I called up Michael Bierut, the designer of that Hillary Clinton logo and countless others. He sat down with me and helped explain the elements of a great logo in the video above.

Not into American president stuff, but the H logo is too simple and ugly..
Yes, a logo can be too simple, even in this time
I do like how Obama has started this thing of presidential candidates having actual logos, not just their name in an arbitrary font like they're too serious for pictures. (Ironically, he also made his campaign's actual font super popular, mainly by picking one that most people had never seen before.)
Nice video! Good information to keep in mind when designing.
