The area of the logo has increased by 125% when its diameter is increased by 50%. This was found by first calculating the original and new areas using the formula for the area of a circle, then determining the increase in area and finally calculating the percentage increase. This highlights how even a small increase in diameter can lead to a significant increase in area due to the square relationship in area calculations.
