The preferences of consumers for simple versus complex logos (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Logotypförändringar har blivit alltmer vanliga och logotyperna blir allt enklare. Hur ser konsumenterna på denna förändring? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur logotypers komplexitet samt igenkänning kan påverka konsumenters preferenser. Metod: Datainsamlingen gjordes med hjälp av en webbenkät som spreds via Facebook med en svarsfrekvens på 134 respondenter. Enkäten bestod av ett valexperiment där, av två svarsalternativ, det föredragna alternativet valdes. I del två svarade respondenterna också på om de kände igen logotyperna eller inte. Resultat: Resultatet samanställdes i frekvenstabeller och bearbetades med hjälp av en logistisk binominal regressionsanalys. Inget statiskt signifikant resultat uppnåddes. Slutsatser: Studien visar ingen statistisk evidens för i vilken utsträckning logotypers komplexitet, samt konsumenters igenkänning av en logotyp, påverkar konsumenters preferenser. I specifika fall påvisas dock belägg för att individer som känner igen en logotyp föredrar den komplexa (gamla) och individer som inte känner igen en logotyp föredrar den enkla (nya).

Abstract [en]

Background: Logo changes have become increasingly common, and the logos themselves are becoming simpler. How do consumers perceive this transformation? Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine how the complexity and recognizability of logos can influence consumer preferences. Method: The collection of data was conducted using a web survey distributed via Facebook, resulting in a response rate of 134 participants. The survey employed a choice experiment, where respondents were presented with two response options and asked to select their preferred alternative. In the second part, participants also indicated whether they recognized the logos or not. Results: The results were compiled into frequency tables and analyzed using logistic binomial regression analysis. However, no statistically significant results were obtained. Conclusions: The study does not provide statistical evidence regarding the extent to which the complexity of logos and consumers' recognition of a logo influence consumer preferences. However, in specific cases, there is evidence that individuals who recognizea logo prefer the complex (old) one, while individuals who do not recognize a logo prefer the simple (new) one.
