It used to be that for every different website or social network, you had to remember a different log in. There was OpenID and other ID providers but when Facebook created a social login API allowing people to log into websites using their Facebook credentials, it was quickly adopted. The social log in wasn’t quite as ubiquitous as the newsfeed but eventually other social networks created their own social login APIs.
Since Facebook was the first social network to enable the social login technology, it essentially created and dominated the market for years to come. However, a recent report from Gigya, a provider of tools that help businesses connect with customers, indicates that with the presence of more options, social logins are becoming more distributed across networks.
“In 2011, Facebook was way higher in the aggregate with 60-62 percent of social logins,” says Victor White, Director of Marketing Communications for Gigya, “Now they’re at about 50 percent. Concurrently Google/Google+ has made really significant gains.”
White attributes this growth in Google social logins to the fact that Google is just a attractive as an identity for people to log in with. He also said that when people use Google+ to log in to a website using an Android device, they are prompted to download a website app.
“In general when people use an Android phone, it would tend to make sense if their on mobile with Android to log in using G+,” White says.
Still, according to the Gigya report, Facebook holds a 50 percent market share of social logins on the web and a 66 percent majority on mobile devices. And when it comes to e-commerce, Facebook accounts for 74 percent of social logins.
While the social logins in North America are widely distributed, Facebook still holds a majority of logins worldwide. However, White says that in coming quarters, we can expect a shift in global social logins to mirror North American distribution.

Logo designers have several puzzles to solve when presented with a new logo design project. One of the main considerations that a designer must deal with is to understand what it is that the client wants to achieve with the logo design.
The designer asks the client a series of questions that illicit answers helping to bring the parts of the puzzle together. A typical question might be “What qualities does your business want to be known for?” The answer might be for a doctor for instance, “I want to be known as someone you can trust”. So the question and answer begs: How does the designer portray trust in the logo design?
Scientists have been studying the way we react to colors for many years. Certain colors make us feel a certain way about something. As long as the designer knows what these colors and emotions are, the designer can use that information to help present the business in the right way. These are not hard and fast rules but smart designers use the information to their clients advantage.
