Happy New Year of the monkey, everybody! February marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which each year cycles through one of its 12 animal signs.
This year the monkey reigns supreme, so get ready for some shenanigans. In Chinese astrology, as in real life, monkeys are associated with intelligence, creativity, and playfulness.
Astrologists are predicting this year to be eventful and fast-moving, creating invaluable opportunities for those willing to take risk. They encourage new business ventures and see a boost to economic growth and rewards for unconventional business models and wild schemes. It's the perfect climate to make the jump on that company you've been dreaming about.
Any good company needs a great logo, and thankfully a great logo is quick and easy to come by on DesignCrowd. Crowdsourcing provides you with dozens of options in just a few days, so you'll be up and running in no time. To show you what's possible, celebrate the innovation and creativity of our designers and pay tribute to the monkey spirits, we've found our favorite monkey logos sourced from among our ranks.
Business, like Chinese astrology, likes to associate monkeys with cheekiness, wit and unconventional ideas. They're perfect for young companies showing a quirky edge and loud personality. Perhaps making a monkey logo design is the perfect first step?
Tech start-ups and young, hip companies in communications, arts, and music are fond of primate logos, as are a good number of food and alcohol brands.
Fortune tells us this is the year to take risks to make your dreams come true. Maybe your company would thrive with a monkey at its helm, or maybe you're after a more demure, sophisticated look. Whichever it is, don't wait too long to take the plunge – your future is waiting for you. As soon as you're ready, we'll be right here to get you started.
