Funny, but as a designer, when I tried to come up with logos similar to these in school, my instructors failed me. The Winehouse, Mister Cutts, and the Wiesinger Music logos are the most clever I think. The rest are just obvious reactions to easy brand names…

I feel most of these logos were created from a nice idea not for real clients with real….boring names, though nice and inspirational it would be good to see real logos promoting real identities.
Mar 4th, 2010
Enrique Serrano
That’s right, these logos seem like creative exercises for fictional brands, not just real company designs working in the real world.
Anyway, the imagination and great graphic execution of all these concepts makes them outstanding. I really loved the Spartan concept.
Some of these approaches would have worked in the real world. Nevertheless, real brands usually need much longer names to avoid name overlapping and other copyright issues, which makes simple, brief names much more complex.
That’s why creative concepts designed taking into account company name initials are some of the best ways to tackle real company branding: they keep it simple and memorable.

What do people think about the nike logo? I have always thought it was a brilliant logo, but the design world seems to think that it is awful and that the only reason it is good is because it is plastered on everything they make… any comments?
Mar 4th, 2010
txl kid
oh and brilliant logos by the way. I am learning logo design in a graphics class right now and this is just the inspiration I needed!

It’s nice to finally see a list of logos that really follow the basic rules of a good logo design… simplicity (that work in a single color) and creativity. Often it’s the client that gets in the way when trying to achieve those things.
I do agree with the statement that a lot of these, while great, seem like the names of the companies are made up for student projects. Rarely do existing companies come to you with such strong and simple brand names.
“Zip” and “Foot” and “Horror Films” top my list of faves. Thanks for the quality collection!

The Spartan Golf Club one is cool! At first I didn’t really look at it, but then “spartan” image finally clicked in my mind! I guess for some people, they wouldn’t look at it that closely – nor ever notice. But, I like how the swing motion forms the helmet…and you follow it from there.

Nice set of logos… logo with true meaning….

Great logos. I’m not into how they’re presented though. We’re not so dense that we have to be told beforehand what the visual pun is. We know. If we needed to be told, the logos wouldn’t be effective. They’re great because they explain themselves. If it takes us a second to see the inference, even better. We’ve been engaged.
We’re also fully capable of appreciating that each one is “clever”, “brilliant” and “creative”. Also unnecessary.

IRON DUCK, LOOK, FOOT & WIESINGER MUSIC are my best, all others are simple as well.
Well done.

Logo design is remarkable in many ways. It can only be produced by one who sees with the mind first and then the eye….
Mar 6th, 2010
Sarah
Yay for visual puns. Chelsea was right. These are all really predictable. A couple are nice, but for the most part, these are just nicely designed first ideas. Sure, they’re pretty. But not that original.
I’d like to see some really original designs show up on here.

Dude, I love the Spartan Golf Clubs logo and the Swing logo the best. Those are awesome. The broken swing for the “i” in swing was brilliant, and brings back childhood memories.
I also like the alternating bg’s in your comment boxes.

Am I the only one who really like the “B” logo? I thought it was really sleek and cool. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. But they were all pretty creative.
Some made me chuckle a bit.

I especially like the ones where the names are incorporated into the work. Some art is just best built custom and inside.

Personally, I’d have to go with the Goodduck as my favourite. The use of font is poorly chosen though, but it takes a few seconds to see the full duck and not just the beak the first time around. I think the discovery makes the logo all the more memorable.
Mar 17th, 2010

Also, the contrast and clean cut presentation of the WM is fantastic.

To “somebody” – you REALLY remind me of some of the clients I’ve had in my thirty+ years in printing and design. That said, I’m going to go bang my head against a wall. (Amazing how the designer was able to turn the “golfer” into a “face.” Or, was it the other way around?!)

Some really nice logos. I’ve designed quite a few now and the problem I find is that the client quite often asks me to change a design so it goes from a cool design to a shit one. What to do?!

Pretty sweet collection. I love the Spartan golf and FCO cycling. If they are real logos for real companies I think they did really well with their choice of designers.

I agree with Marsadie. You suck Sarah. :)
That said these are fun. Always good to see creative. Why do we have to critique everything. Can’t we just look and say… cool. I am thinking people like Sarah go to the Rocky Mountains and say “well they could have been bigger, and well I’ve seen pictures that look better.”
Carpe diem my friend.

Great logos – very creative. I stopped doing logos a long time ago because the client and I never agreed on one important thing – simplicity! These logos are exactly that – and I think that they are all wonderful! Most clients want something very complicated – they THINK! And I found I spent more time on a logo than I could possibly charge for, so I no longer do logos. Enjoyed seeing these tho.

My favorites,

I tend to agree with Sarah….
I can’t say they are creative but quite obvious and predictable.
ALL of them.
Sorry dudes
Even Spartian…
I don’t say they aren’t good.
Just not original
My favorite…

how is it your instructors fault if you couldn’t come up with a strong concept and apply it visually, sounds like someone has a case of the blames.

Yes, most of them consist on making the object fit with the word and, that’s not being creative :S

omg it took me FOREVER to realize the spartan golf one was actually a spartan XD
Oct 27th, 2010
Lauren
These would be great if there were actual companies involved … it is far easier to come up with a clever image for a word (pause, swing) then it is to come up with a logo that is meaningful to a company. Twins = 2 = what letter can I replace with the 2 = simple.
What does Pause do? Maybe they are a dog groomer and this logo has no relevance whatsoever.
Weisinger Music … also not a company … six piano keys looks like a W and an M … hmmm I think I’ll type a name that begins with W and the word music … oh look, great logo …
Would love to see of a roundup of great logos for companies that actually exist.

Chad Sanderson
Lauren, it’s funny you used Weisinger Music and Twins as examples, considering both of those companies are quite real. I think the ability of a designer to create a logo that makes you go- Why didn’t I think of that?- is one that should praised, not insulted. The time and effort put into each of these is enormous, and every designer listed here is famous in their own right. Good round up, by the way.
