Very popular logo already, but thought I still share it in typography section.
Author’s comment: “Logo was made for a bold creative team consisting of two people. Two people being brothers …and fortunately born on the same day. TWINS was a suitable name for the two. To reflect the essence of the duo, a bold typeface was created to reflect the boldness of their approaches. The number 2 was integrated to show the creativeness of their ideas.”

Smart way to display height and the letter H.

Creative dynamic logo looking like some kind of mechanism.
23. Crown
Simple, clean yet strong mark that could be used for almost all business.
24. Precision Networking
Precision in logotype, stylized E letters and beautiful outcome!

37There are many clever semiotics missed here. For example: in the “Seolution” also the “e” and backwards “c” (that is not actually part of the word) reffer to a partnership between man and woman, but not necessarily a woman as bussiness partner (because “c” is not part of the word). It can be your wife simply help at home to make you happy.
Also the “Jump” logo is very silly.

34While some logos are fantastic, I think a few of them are really horrible. For instance, “haters” is unreadable, it takes a bit to figure out what it says. Logo is one of the first things the people pay attention to and it should take less than a second to figure out what it stands for. rinke is ugly, as you pointed, letter k is not accented, but besides that, I think it can be made a lot prettier with even standard fonts. Most of them are gorgeous though, i like the winery – great font and Y shaped like a wine glass, really unique and elegant…
