2023 Design & Marketing Trends

Hot Tip! Check out the 2026 campaign first for the most recent assets and a little more info on the campaign as a whole.

Every year, we interview designers from 99designs by Vista to uncover the new and exciting trends in design and marketing. The goal? Provide clear, valuable industry insights for designers and businesses alike as they look to the new year and ask, “What’s next?”

2023 was the last year the campaign launched from the 99designs IP. So you won’t see any mentions of VistaPrint here. Now, onto the assets!

The goal with these videos was to provide a shorter, more casual vibe (i.e., capturing the way people actually speak), while still covering the same essential info as the articles.

Logo design trends

It’s that time of the year again, when we ask our designer community to tap into the zeitgeist, paint a picture of the logo landscape, shepard us through the creative wilds… Basically, we ask them to tell us the trending logo design styles of 2023. In this video, we’ll talk through the logo styles you’ll see everywhere this year, from liquid mercury to modern art deco.

Web design trends

Looking to refresh your website in 2023? Luckily for you, our designer community has pinpointed some seriously stellar web design trends. And they’re not afraid to shake up traditional design principles. In this video, we’ll talk you through the web design trends you can expect to see everywhere this year, from parallax zoom scrolling to 90s navigation.
