    Beautiful collection, you’ve got a really nice eye for it! Eden & farmdog are my 2 favourites I think. Keep it up!

  2. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks Liam, really appreciate it! Will try and keep it up :) Eden is one of my top faves too - another top of the top is Kotton & Zipliner.

  3. J.D. Says:

    Yum. Great selections. Like every single one of them.

  4. Dustin Brewer Says:

    Great collection of logos, definitely some inspiration to be found in this list.

  5. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks J.D. - glad you like all of them!

  6. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks Dustin, appreciate the comment & hope it inspires you in the future!

    Thanks for including bLog-oMotives in your logo blogs resource list! - J.

  8. adelle charles Says:

    No problem Jeff, keep up the great site!

  9. Gaetan Says:

    We are pleased to see that you like one of our logo’s

    Thx!

  10. David Pache Says:

    Thanks for mentioning Zipliner and K12Reader :)

  11. foo Says:

    Really pretty logos. But: If you resize the logos to fit your design, please add a href to the full version. It looks ugly this way it is now.

  12. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks David & Gaetan, great work!

  13. adelle charles Says:

    foo, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it, although I don’t agree that they look ugly - a well designed logo done the right way should look good at any size.

  14. Nout Says:

    WOW
    nice logo’s!
    That one from interfacefix is really great!

    Bistro 1689 is the nicest logo I’ve ever seen.

  16. adelle charles Says:

    Nout, thanks so much - yes i love the details in the interfacefix logo. I checked out your blog as well - nice!!

  17. mbh Says:

    Much appreciation and thanks for your time and effort on this post. That said, I wish you would have sized the images and not squeezed them into the spaces above.

    My eye was immediately drawn away to the jagged appearance thereby hindering the full enjoyment of these short of doing a view image on each one.

    Thanks

    barf - not even close - come on - completely derivative

  19. MyRule Says:

    Great logos! I really like eden & interfacefix :)

  20. Elevate Says:

    I have to say at least 80% of these are terribly mediocre. And yes, they should’ve been resized.

  21. Digital Fake Says:

    Hi, lovely set of logos, but i have to agree with Foo about the resizing of the images and your slightly missing the point of what he’s saying. Or you just poking at him ( am only poking now so so don’t take offence).

    All well designed logos should look good resized, on paper or web. But we are working with pixels her not pts.

    Its the first thing I noticed and i’d say it would be the first thing their owners would too.

  22. Jonathan Gardner Says:

    I love them all but InterfaceFix and Twentyfive92 are some of my favorites.

  23. Trevor Says:

    the most striking thing about this collection is how similar they all are to each other. Great set if the point was to show how few new ideas there are in logo design today. It’s actually stunning to see how nearly identical the compositions are (icon up top, type centered underneath on all but 9 of them). Beyond that, scaling, form and color is depressingly similar throughout all 50.

    The inspiration here should be to break out of our safe themes, not to keep to doing the same things!

  24. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks for the comment Trevor, the similarities probably come from my style, I chose them because I liked them and it’s similar to color palettes, type and treatment that I design.

  25. adelle charles Says:

    George, that’s your opinion and I respect that.

  26. adelle charles Says:

    Jonathan, Nice picks!

  27. adelle charles Says:

    Elevate, thanks for the comment, however I was choosing designs that I think reflect a certain style and are very well designed logos. I’d like to know why you think they are mediocre or perhaps out of the 20% you do like, which ones?

  28. Trevor Says:

    adelle charles - very good point that we should all pay attention to with these lists. When showing the work of others, we’re saying as much about our own personal tastes as we are about what we’re looking at. And that can be plenty useful in its own right.

  29. Pavlow Vinelli Says:

    Salvation is perfect wonderful amazing and so all.

  30. Ryan D. Says:

    Nice…most of these I’ve seen which means they’ve done a good job at branding. :) I suck at creating logos…

  31. Joey Says:

    Very nice Logos, I like them al.

  32. herval Says:

    Excelent logos, but some of the company names are TERRIBLE!
    ‘ingenioustries’? Ouch!

    :-)

  33. David Airey Says:

    Hello Adelle.

    Thanks for the kind mention in your resources section. All the very best.

    Um… no. Maybe if they were vector-based you’d be correct, but a jpg re-sized (but not resampled) does indeed look like garbage.

    It is hard to appreciate these pics when you need to constantly “rightclick->view image” (in FF).

  35. Chris Jones Says:

    Great post, it inspired me to design new logos for my sites.

  36. Rob Says:

    I count only 43 … ??

  37. Fubiz Says:

    Amazing list!

  38. liam Says:

    @ Elevate I’d love to see what your idea of a good logo is if you say that these are just standard. I disagree with your comments as I can appreciate the simplicity and elegance of these logos. They’re stunning.

  39. Affordable Web Design Says:

    Fantastic collection of logos you have here, thank you for the inspiration!

  40. Brand Design Says:

    Superb collection I must say, some great examples!!

  41. Sealy Mattresses Says:

    I really like Zipliner, very cool logo.

  42. anna Says:

    These are nice logos indeed! But, to me, the best one I have ever seen is this one: http://nmi.nl/img/logo_gfx.gif . Sometimes I drive by in my car and see the giant logo on their building http://nmi.nl/img/home_main_content_gfx_delft.jpg

    (NMi is a knowledge intensive organisation focused on metrology and gaming.)

  43. adelle charles Says:

    Thanks Anna! That is a very cool & simple logo. Nice eye!

  44. Teasas Tips Says:

    awesome logo designs. very creative.

  45. sumit Says:

  47. John Says:

    The Core Cider logo and the Bistro logo are my 2 favorites :)

  48. Jen Says:

    There are a few good concepts in here, but most of them are pretty vanilla. Nice inspiration for form, though.

    These images seem to be resized solely to fit the design of this page. Squeezing a 300×200 image down to 50×50 (just an example) will distort the image. Anyone not “in the know” would only see jagged images and not understand why. Full respect for the artists’ works means showing the image(s) as they intended. (Try the “fuel your creativity” icon at 270×219.)

  55. iParasite Says:

    awesome collection, but why did you chose the feedsburner logo, it’s so ugly

  56. michigan seo Says:

    I must agree that they are quite mediocre. As much as I liked Twentythree92, the use of numbers as letters is so overused.

  57. Wes Says:

    Great post! I can’t get enough of the “Core Cider” and “Cream” logos.

  58. Max | Design Shard Says:

    i find logo design one of the hardest tings to do, and can be quite nerve racking hopefully ill beable to get some inspiration from these [stumbled]
