more logos

Here are some more logos for your inspiration



















I really like this logo. Not only is it visually pleasing, but it works. It could looks great in color but could also be easily converted into black and white if it was needed (for cost purposes)
This shop is located in Nederland Colorado, which is a mountain town. It therefore fits to this has slightly textured outdoorsy feel and trees that would be found in this area. The logo is designed well; for it is visually pleasing and it also fits the cliental that this shop is looking for.



















This logo is really very nice, and it quite the opposite of the last logo we looked at. This is a logo for Colier - sparkling wine. The logo is very simple, limited only to type. However, with their choice of type faces and layout of those type faces they create a very classy look for themselves. The star and the curve of "sparkling wine" creates a nice balance. Remember, when designing a logo it is very important to know what your company stands for, how they want to be perceived by the public. This logo shows the consumers that this is a classy sparkling wine, however, if it was designed like the last logo it would do quite the opposite.


Below I am including some more logos. Remember to consider more than just their visual appeal but also their effectiveness and whether they fit the company or not.

  1. So interesting logos, I really liked the bishop one, and the design factory. First the descriptive mark really fits with the typography, I wonder what kind of company it is. Second, the design bakery, I really love the name, because it is true we are an ideas factory, an ideas machine, or in this case a simple bakery. Talking about the logo, the texture, makes me feel the idea of a bakery, and also the shape of the logo makes me think about bread. Jose Pablo Garcia

  2. The Tin Shed is my favorite. I am interested to know what context this example is from with the texture in the background that extends beyond the view shown here. Ultimately this is not a problem because, as already noted, it would work great black and white too. That said, I really like the colors. They give a nice vintage kind of look. I noticed it looks like this logo contains three different type faces. This does not appear to be a problem with this design though. I think this is about as busy as a good logo can get but it is probably only used in a limited number of contexts (signage and website) that all would work well.

  3. My favorites were the Tin Shed and Nordic Mines logos. With the Tin Shed logo, it feels good at first glance, but when you look at it longer it is a lot more interesting. I like how the "tin shed" is referenced by shaping the orange box on the edges to resemble corrugated metal. I don't think it needs to be three-color though. The light green doesn't add anything for me and I think it could be just as strong with only green and orange. I like the Nordic Mines logo because it looks nice and conveys the subject perfectly. The shield and star make sense. The fonts fit. And the cold rock pattern has an almost Eric Carle blue horse feel to it that makes it more fun.

  5. I think that logo for The Design Bakery was really cool! I really like how it is extremely simple, but at the same time it defiantly fits the name of the design company because of the logo's shape. At first glance, it appears to be a nice logo, but after looking at it for a while, it becomes apparent that it is very well designed. It really portrays the shape of a loaf of bread which is neat. The logo, which is shown in black and white, could also be easily printed in different colors as well. It would work well on the web and look great printed too. I guess I just like the fact that the logo, even with it's extreme simplicity, has meaning and was well thought through.

  6. I think that both the Tin Shed Sports logo and the Colier Sparkling wine logos are well designed. They are both pleasing to look at and both fit the company well. The Tin Shed Sports logo has a nice design and color scheme. It also has a rugged feeling to it which fits the company well since it is an outdoor sporting goods store. The wine logo is elegant and simple. They didn't over do the logo with a bunch of imagery but it has just enough text to be appealing. The choice of a script font also gives a fancy feel that people look for in wine.

  7. My favorites are the Bishops and Nordic Mines logos. I like the classic simplicity of the Bishops logo. It feels sophisticated, clean and elegant, just like the bikes presented on the company blog. I also like how the 'B' is somewhat reminiscent of a bike pedal with footstraps, just a more elegant stylized version. The Nordic Mines logo says to me, "We are a mining company for the modern world." The clean typography and strong shield shape give the company an efficient, powerful feel, while the cool blue mineral pattern sort of humanizes the endeavor. I like the Design Bakery logo in that it is well laid out. However, initially I see a tombstone. Eventually I see the bread/old style oven door shape, but I still can't help but think this is a place of death, or perhaps more positively where they resurrect designs from the grave (Design Zombies)?

  8. I really like these logos, especially the Design Bakery logo. It is so cool the way they made it look like a brick oven without it screaming that is was a brick oven. I also really like the Colier wine logo. The script font adds such an elegant feel to the logo. This logo is also very classy and sophisticated, just the reputation you want as a wine company. Nordic Mines and Bishops are also great logos. They both explains the companies goals very well.

  9. I really like the Nordic Mines logo. I think the texture really makes the logo unusual but nice to look at. I would assume that this logo would need to be in black and white if used for most purposes other than on the screen. The typography lines up well with the lower shape and makes a nice looking logo that appeals to the eye. I would be interested to see how well this logo fixed the clients problem initially.

  10. I really like the Bishop's logo and how simplistic it is. I think that the fonts work well together even though they are different and I love how classy this piece feels. What I don't feel is it's strongest attributes is it's ability to convey what it is marking. Bishop's is a cycling company and when I look at the logo I don't think of cycling at all I think more along the lines of English tea room. The company is from New Zealand and their goal is to restore bikes for "path racers" or cyclists. From looking solely at the logo I would have never of guessed this. So even though the logo is wonderful, I don't feel that it conveys what the company truly is.

  11. I thought the Colier logo was nice. I knew instantly, without reading that is was a wine label, not because I drink or know the company but because the logo had that style. It had the look of a high-in wine. I like the stark black with the softer feeling white font. I could see it looking really well on a bottle.

  12. I'm a big fan of the textures and shapes used in the Tin Shed, Nordic Mines and the Bakery logos. Each one seems to present a different feel appropriate to the nature of the subject. With the Tin Shed, we have a very woodsy background integrated into the woodsie design itself. With the Nordic Mines there is an obvious gem like feel to the color scheme and texture within the text. It's a really cool effect on the white. Finally, the bakery has the shape of a loaf of bread and this powder like texture giving it a very oven like feel. All of them do their jobs extremely well.
