Posted 65 days ago 14The Fashion Law Institute is great and the Cherry Software logo and Bread & Breakfast are pretty cute. Besides that, I have to agree with Gregory Atwood, these logos are bad at best. 1stwebdesigner.com is still a great site though. Check out some of our work, we’d love to help you guys on your best of search for the upcoming year if you’re open to it. Rivington Desighn House

Posted 66 days ago 12I felt like the overwhelming majority of these were quite mediocre; in fact the irony was that I had just visited what the author had described as a list of the WORST logos and frankly these weren’t much better. Surely 2011 produced better than this!

Posted 66 days ago 13I felt I should add that there are three that I consider excellent:
–Mattis Landscaping
–Preston Park Dental
–RIP Steve
The worst were:
–2fit
–Help Hand
–Social Box
–Who You Know
…I could go on, but why bother?

Posted 87 days ago 3Most of these are quite brilliant. I’ve seen a lot of them before via Logo Of The Day by Just Creative Design’s Jacob Cass and some I have not seen. I particularly like Radio, E-Drop, The Corner Deli & Meath & Bread. You don’t have to be a hero to feel invincible. Creativity Takes Courage!
