In pictures: AKA has just opened the industry and allowed his fans to take part in recreating and rebranding his logo. It didn’t take long for things to turn seriously hilarious, and Super Mega also expected it.
“Have an awesome evening … I’m sure when I log in later, we’ll see some interesting stuff … and laugh too.”
Twitter started almost immediately after the announcement to get creative overnight.
People were allowed to conceptualize and design something as big as representing a superstar like AKA.
Social media went wild, coming up with ideas and concepts trying to capture the eye of the Super Mega.
A Famous page on the app called @RealXavier011 asked him what exactly he was looking for, and he explained.
Forbes said this logo would be for his entire brand and used across all platforms, and he said people should approach it as a corporate identity for an artist. His logo would have to be unique to only him, and when people see it, they must immediately know that it’s the Super Mega. He explained.
AKA actively engaged people who came through with their ideas about the logo, and the first ones that came through were hilarious.
He opened the floor to all his followers to comment on the work.
The comment section went wild at some of the work submitted.
One follower created a logo that looked like it came out of a superhero movie, and another one the commenters found hilarious said it looked like a cell phone advertisement.
Some users came through and impressed him so much that he gave his opinion on how they could improve it, and some he outright asked to see more of their work.
One Comment acknowledged that the others who sent in their work were playful and didn’t take the opportunity seriously.
This created a conversation among many people complaining about the entertainment industry and how they are never given opportunities to showcase their talent.
One user mentioned that this opportunity AKA is giving in his platform is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that the person who makes it would have built a solid portfolio to sell themselves.
Twitter noted that some of the work submitted showed a lack of commitment and creativity, and those are the ones that made AKA laugh the most.
Kieran Forbes ensured that the person whose logo he selected would be paid.
Check out some of the logos submitted on his Twitter page.
