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.”
Just smart logo, which ring the bell!

Smart way to display Height and letter H.
Creative dynamic logo looking like some kind of mechanism.
Simple, clean yet strong mark that could be used for almost all business.
Precision in logotype, stylized E letters and beautiful outcome!
Did you know how half of letters can be displayed and separated just by stylized straight, invisible line? Real beauty.
Already classic and famous logotype with smart little accents.
How high? Smart perspective logo with depth.
Progressive logo, I really like it!
Find exit -subtle, smart accent in letter i dot, excellent logo!
Type Nosey and see human face at the same time! Very inspiring!

Exactly opposite logo from same artist with very interesting typographic play in devil’s face.
Very good stylization in letters with just typography.

Very sharp logotype!
Interesting logo, where 4 and 7 read nicely, but if you look closer you’ll also note “S” in negative space! Really smart!

This logo really invite to take a sit!

I must say I have never seen sucha impressive work I am new in web designing and for me it was great to find this post few designs are truly creative and some are best for commercial purpose specially that coffee logo. The use of color and the beautiful use of “ff” is simple awesome.

I think the “k” is accented in #41 because if it was bent back it might look confusing next to the k’s upper arm that is already bent

I consider the logo one of the most important parts of a website. It can completely change the appearance of a conventional site into something quite exciting; and you don’t have to be a wizard with Illustrator to create an attractive logo either – just play around with some unusual typefaces
Friday, September 18th, 2009 18:20
Some amazing logo designs here. Imaginative use of typo
This is a GREAT collection of logo’s for inspiration and Designers…

typography plays a big part in making or breaking a design, especially if the design’s main focus is typography.

While 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…

There are loads of sites with logo inspiration which can provide a large amount of logos for your design work. It’s nice to see a small selection purely for inspiration.

There 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.
