Jan 14, 2013 - Brand New: Univision Needs More, More, Más
Launched in 2002 as TeleFutura by parent network Univision and quickly rising as the second most watched U.S. Spanish-language television network, the recently renamed UniMás has been retooled specifically for Hispanic millennials with programming geared to a “younger, bicultural audience,” as well as complementing Univision’s programming plus being its “cultural connection más the coolest content for young, U.S.-based Latinos.” The new name was conceived internally as a combination of “Uni” from Univision and “Más” for “More” and “Plus” in Spanish while the identity and on-air graphics were designed by Troika.
The UniMás name was brought to life through a logo mark that alludes to Univision’s signature “U” shape, but delivers a distinctly youthful feel through a fresh twist on the mark. To call attention to the network’s brand promise of more, the logo features bold “Más” typography to contrast the thinner “Uni” font that precedes it.
“UniMás’ new logo and graphic design truly exemplify the Más Generation - Hispanic Millennial trendsetters,” said Ruth Gaviria, senior vice president, Corporate Marketing at Univision.

Graphic Design Examples Worldwide: How Nationality Reflects In Artworks - by Rachel Arandllla
Latin America is occupied with 500 million people, consisting of 20 Spanish-speaking countries save for Portuguese Brazil. Latin America has produced the most unusual and energetic form of graphic expression history has seen. Art is alive and well in the streets of Argentina, Ecuador and Brazil. Building exteriors filled with graffiti & stencil art. Latin American design is a reflection of the rampant street art scene: colorful, tantalizing, soulful, and a bit naive.
Her art revolved around her surroundings and culture. It is diverse, given its hundreds of years of exploitative colonization from other countries. Latin America is one whole continent and stretches more than 21 million kilometers, but we see a common theme for all Latin American design: the latino’s love for life, dance and celebration.
Most Latin American posters have evident pop art and art deco influences. It makes use of contrasting colors, wacky typography and energetic shapes. The latino’s piousness is evident with the use of religious themes and Roman Catholic symbols. Propaganda, nationalism and revolution are also common themes in Latin American graphic design (especially in the Caribbean islands).

2004 - Mexican Brands Targeting American Consumers | US Markets and Competition | brandchannel.com
"The only thing growing at a more explosive rate these days than the US Hispanic population," writes Scott Donaton, in Advertising Age's “Hispanic Fact Pack 2004,” "is perhaps the interest marketers, media companies and agencies have in tapping into this highly desirable market." According to the “HFP2004,” the numbers speak for themselves: Of the 40 million Latinos in the US, representing 13 percent of the population, one in three are under the age of 18, two in five are foreign born and two thirds are of Mexican descent. Donaton waxes ecstatic, saying, “Their purchasing power is a stunning US$ 581 billion.”
The rise in status of the US Latino demographic couldn’t have come at a better time for Mexican brands. In the mid-1990s, with a peso crisis and political instability in the form of the Zapatista uprising and assassinations in Mexico, things were not looking so good for Mexican producers to compete in their home market. A tough climate was further compounded by US multinational corporations preparing to come in with their full marketing prowess and already established loyalty from Mexican consumers for such products as Coca-Cola and Kellogg’s.

Hispanic/Latino Sites | Ask Marivi | RBIRD
Fonts like Arial, Verdana and Helvetica were the ones more used due to their ability to look good in most web browsers. But that's common to many sites on the internet, not just Hispanic/Latino sites.
Imagery in general was focused to enhance the topics of greater interest, but I didn't find any particular graphic element besides cultural iconography [Aztec/Mayan border motifs, sun-gods, Olmec heads, etc.] that was prominent.
What I noticed the most about design, is that colors were warmer and a favoritism for orange+blue or red+orange combinations stood out in most sites. I was really impressed with how this combination of colors is used like a "must-have" when designing for a Latino/Hispanic audience.
Here is an example of a very good website that I think has taken graphic elements into consideration for appealing to this "hot-passionate" audience. You'll see how the Cool Colored [blue] is used for non-Hispanics and Warm Colored [red-orange] is being used for Hispanics.

May 17, 2012 - Hispanic marketing: Better by design | by Jonathan Mikulich
Having several years experience in design, I am sometimes asked what type of graphics, images, or colors are more appealing to Hispanic audiences. I have found this to be a challenging question. Because Latino audiences are so varied and diverse in their cultures, nationalities, and acculturation, it is difficult to suggest there are specific visual preferences that have widespread Hispanic appeal. Relying too much on traditional images like sombreros, maracas, tacos, or colorful dress, may promote stereotypes and have a negative effect on marketing and promotions. As designers, we believe visual communication needs to deliver value based on subjective and empathetic insights about an audience’s beliefs and attitudes.
Unfortunately, with the exception of the examples above, I don’t believe the topic of design for Latino appeal has garnered enough widespread discussion. Perhaps now, with the explosion of Hispanic populations in the U.S., a valuable discourse is due. However, I still maintain that visual communication should focus on value based strategies versus familiar or (shudder) stereotypical images. Yes, I have no doubt certain colors or images may be trend worthy and relevant specifically to Latino populations, but like all good design, an empathetic understanding of your audience will always carry the most merit.
