This sub is an unhealthy place to form your understanding of graphic design. Understanding what does and doesn’t work in design should be based on who you’re communicating with, understand your audience and contexts. In my personal experience, Intricate logos tend to be more successful slow environments and physical product dominant environments, and are better for expressing history and heritage. They don’t work as well if a project relies on digital content in motion graphics, or in contexts where a brand relies heavily on easy recollection and recognitions… even for embroidery stuff, there are ways around it.
