One more logo showcase, but in this one you really will need to look twice! Every logo is carefully picked with second thought and I think such logos are really hard to create. Get inspired, hopefully this article will help you to look different at logo creation – it’s not always just about typography, good looking font and nice animation.
You need to really deliver message to people and you need to deliver the RIGHT message – those are logos, which will be remembered. Of course it’s hard task, but this collection should help to get better!

This one is my favorites logos and it is unforgettable! White playhorse which everybody knows and can recognize with black colored outline of child on the horse and black background which makes an illusion that child had disappeared. Amazing, what designers can create just from shapes and two basic colors!!!

Logo design for rock band from Vancouver B.C. This logo is very intelligent solution in my opinion.All what designer did was take all the letters of the word BISON and make them look like a bison body. I like the way how the body details are found within the letters, as tail or horn. The version linked seems like a much easier execution.

Kudos to the designers!!

Sunday, February 14th, 2010 02:01
Oh I love posts like this. There are so many great ones in here that I can’t even point out my favourite in this comment! I do love the simplicity and effectiveness of the Horror Films one though – that’s just genius!

Hi! nice roundup of interesting logos. I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but since I see you didn’t operate any correction, my guess is nobody noticed it : the name of the creator of number 8 is MUGUR not MUGAR… as seen even in his weblink. I would be grateful if you would operate that correction. Thanks.

No matter how many times I see some of these, I still love ‘em.
Fold It is one of my favs, reminds me of the F1 logo style.
Shocked is great.
…and Eight impressed me, simple but effective for capturing attention.

It annoys me that the Uck logo actually makes me think of the exact opposite of what the company stands for. If I knew nothing about the company and saw this logo with a swastika and an f-bomb, I would definitely think it was for some kind of neo-nazi group. Seems like poor logo design to me.

The best one among all these logos is “Texas association of stolen children”….it is amazingly creative and intelligent use of negative space. Rest of the logos did not amaze me much as I have been using them on ‘n’ off on my blog but have lately I stumbled across amazing negative space logos

One of my favorites is the logo for Grande Punto from FIAT, the Italian car producer:
http://www.cartype.com/pics/1587/full/fiat_punto_05_logo.jpg
The ‘P’ has a “punto” (which is the Italian term for ‘dot’) over it, but it also can be seen as the head of a driver sitting in front of a driving wheel with both arms in front of him.

Some of these are great but a few I think have put design and technique above communication, you shouldn’t have to look as hard as you do at some of the logos to get the initial meaning hidden meaning is great but the initial meaning should hit you in the face.
If you hadn’t told me that DJ loop was the name of the company it would have taken me too long to look at it and guess.

Love them. It is a great collection of logos that deliver strong messages through simple design.

Monday, October 12th, 2009 21:07
a logo needs to work in two colors. I agree some are interesting and work well. or at least start the design in two colors. the negative space on SOME of these are well done, however some are not and do not work. period. read some design books before posting “these logos rok yo!” terrible. the fold it is an interesting design, but it wouldn’t reproduce small well, you’d have to create a 2nd version. some are just illustrations, frogami… the haggar springs logo is probably the worst example up there… atrocious.

Really nice collection of logos (and I appreciate the fact that you linked to your sources). I will be revisiting for inspiration in the future.
However, your writing could use a lot of improvement, Dainis. Having a friend proofread the article before you publish would be a good first step. I think if you could express yourself as powerfully as your content, this would be a great blog!

you’re kidding! you’ve got it backwards! tidy tom’ sucked and the i hate/love you logo worked great on so many psychological levels.

that’s a great collection of logos. It can be tough to create a good, meaningful design, but creativity is always a great way to go. I love when hidden messages are integrated. it makes it much more interesting.
