25 Branding Pros to Follow on Instagram

Here at HOW, we talk quite a bit about how you can up your branding game. Sometimes we take a close look at emerging logo design trends so that you can determine whether they might be effective in your own work. Other times we study a particularly strong branding project to see what we can learn. And occasionally we consider what it would mean to take things to the next level—e.g., positioning yourself as a branding expert even if the thought terrifies you.

But we also have to wonder if something as simple as surrounding yourself (physically, digitally) with those who are killin’ it can help you up your own game. We like to think so. That’s why we’ve identified 25 design firms to follow on Instagram.

These firms have all been recognized in either the HOW Logo Design Awards or the HOW International Design Awards for their brand strategy and identity design skills, and we highly recommend following them for a regular dose of inspiration. (Hey, don’t forget to follow us too @howbrand!)

We had the honor of working with @_FareStart on branding, interiors and environmental graphics for their new restaurant Maslow’s- @MaslowsSeattle FareStart provides students the technical and life skills they need in the restaurant and hospitality industry. This expansion will allow them to nearly double their reach over the next 10 years across all of its job training programs in an effort to raise more people out of homelessness and poverty and into long-term financial stability. The restaurant opened this week and is located at 380 Boren Ave N in Seattle, WA. Maslow’s is named after Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, asserting that human beings provided with basic physiological needs, love, and esteem can move into self-actualization and altruism.
