Default Designers - What's your favourite logo?

I have two all-time favourites: Gatecrasher and Craghoppers. :)



Animal sillhouettes are the logos I love doing most but all I ever seem to get is eagles, funnily enough... and the odd cat and cow here and there!







Hope the pics are ok....

What's are your favourite logos?

I love the "An Organic Experience" logo above, very nice.

Not really thought about this before so after a quick look online, I like the....

WWF logo:



I think the Innocent Drinks logo is pretty good, with the halo and child like drawing it makes you feel that what they produce is going to be really good for you, even though they are full of natural sugar!





I love this one which has an "M.C Escher" feel about it, really love Escher (& Dali), some of his designs really played tricks on your eyes!

^ Ah, that was a concept design by one of my long-time online acquaintances (and inspirations) - Raja Sandhu!

I have to say FedEx is in there, but some of Raja's are very very impressive, he has a great mind!

Quite a broad question Sara.

To start you off, logo's are generally made in vector format, programs such as Adobe Illustrator offer this.

I also think that most of Raja's logos are excellent. Most have brilliant use of typography and solid ideas. I like the colours Raja has used too. With most of the logos you get the message immediately.

I don't think FedEx is that great though. It needs something added to it to signify a delivery business. It could do with re-designing. It looks old fashioned.

The Fire Fox one is brilliant but it could have been simplified more. I like it though. They've done well to incorporate a fox.

One of my favorite logos is the Mercedes-Benz logo. It has many associations but I see a steering wheel! Silver is a good choice for this logo as that is not likely to date quickly and has associations with technology and engineering. I like logos that have meaning and associations. The one's that are solely typographic date quickly especially if it's just a font like the Sony logo. The Nike one is another good example of a good logo. The swoosh signifies speed. Simple but effective and very good for printing because it's a solid shape. Shapes in logos add depth and if it's done in perspective it usually works really well.

Actually, the Stationery Direct Logo is a pretty good one advertised on this site. I can see the pile of papers and the colours are great. The green giving the company an association with the environment and trees!
