This is already the third part in gradient effect series, I hope you’ll enjoy this one as you might like previous articles.
First one was about showcasing resources and premade gradients for Photoshop to get started, on the second part I made a research on how gradient effects are used in web designs and tried to look a little bit behind the scenes. Today you’ll see 30 logo designs using the same gradient effects to get 3D effect using beautiful colors. Actually it’s not so easy to create good looking logo using gradients, it comes from a lot of learning, but also that’s great way to easily create unique logo design, if you know how to use gradients in right way. This is kind of inspirational article to show great examples of gradient use, in the next and last gradient related article I’ll try to find really good Photoshop, Illustrator tutorials teaching you how to use gradients correctly, so stay with us and get inspired this time!
Maybe not really usable but looking good however.

Nice logos. When doing these for corporates do you also do a one or solid colour version for all their stationary needs? 3D logos are great but can’t be used in every instance.

Double WOW WOW on most of these logo designs. I love gradients and 3D effects. BUT I also want the logo design to also be readable if printed in one flat color — like for the FAX design or stamped, stenciled, or cut from vinyl for sign or decals.
