Oh holy LOL... I just got a logo from a friend that I help out with occasional design work. Not sure what he needs, we're going to talk tomorrow, but it has to have been made by someone following that hipster logo guide to a T. It has all the hallmarks:
1. Jagged circular badge background.
2. Inwardly notched horizontal banner.
3. The EXACT ESTd text.
4. The little X arrows with pointed tips and feathered ends.
5. Slanted text that reads "The Original" like a kid's baseball jersey font.Totally amazed. This is gonna be a fun conversation.

hipster today means conformity because they all look the same.

I just can't wait for the guy to tell me who made it. I have a suspicion it's a mutual friend, but I don't think he has the PS skills to assemble a logo.

Does everyone who makes this kind of logo just copy a hang tag from Urban Outfitters or something?
What is all this "heritage" design based on?

I'd be interested to know that, and see where that style first existed and how it became the de-facto heritage-esque format.
I just looked at http://yourlogoisnothardcore.tum… (posted above) for the first time. Oh man... a sea of sameness. Sea of lameness.

i think most of it is simply the natural tendency to like symmetry. the wes anderson effect.

hmmm, i must be a hipster because i think alot of those look pretty rad. its funny to me how everyone is so quick to laugh at something because its trendy, there are still some nice design elements in some of those. minus the arrows and anchors, haha.
