Love 'em or hate 'em, hipsters have well and truly taken the torch from emos for most prevalent and hated-on subculture-that's-really-actually-pretty-mainstream. They seem to have suddenly popped out everywhere; our cities, our movies, our Starbucks... all full of camera-toting, scarf-weaving hipsters.
At DesignCrowd, we've decided to embrace hipsterism rather than fight it. Hipsters for everyone! We always enjoy a good laugh, and our designers are great at visualizing our every whim. Over many graphic design contests, we've had hipsters take over our company logos, our childhood heroes, our nations' leaders and our celebrities. Even Christmas and the friendly neighborhood garbage collectors weren't safe.
This article is a collection of some of our favorite images from our hipster-themed Photoshop, graphic design, and logo contests. We hope you'll enjoy them as much as we did!
