September 7, 2009Most of these logos are quite clever and beautiful, but I’m not sure about the use of the word “brilliant” here to describe them.

Much harder information to get hold of, but would be much more valuable than just the ones the editor of WDL likes..

September 7, 2009While these logo’s are good for their time (right now), they are–for the most part–too stylized to support any kind of longevity. If any of these companies intend on being around for more than 5 years, a lot of will find themselves with a dated logo (people will be able to guess the year it was created based on stylistic trends).
Matt
September 7, 2009Have to agree with the ‘Brilliant?’ and ‘Scaled Down’ comments here. A lot of these logos are very stylized and clever enough for web sites that require little or no print branding, but very few really carry the necessary aspects of a truly great logo. Scalability, Symbolism, Simplicity, and Style. Just realized I kind of invented some sort of 4 S rule there… Anyway, these logos just fit a kind of style and act as an illustration for a website, where really the quality of the service provided creates the brand, allowing the logos to be in a more painterly fashion. Used as a style element rather than a mark to easily identify the company in many different sizes and mediums. These are all ‘pretty’, and well done in that regard.

September 7, 2009A nice selection from LogoPond guys, all good but I have to wonder how some might look when scaled down.

September 7, 2009really creative logos and i really like there all list.
Dietmar
September 8, 2009The list’s including some nice logos but I think creating a stunning logo is more, or better, different from some of the above shown. A really good logo must be simple and timeless…

September 8, 2009The Get Wired logo is very clever! Great collection here, very inspiring.
Sam Logan

September 8, 2009Im not convinced… make all these grayscale and scale them down to 1″x1″ and you will start to get a feel for which logos are effectively designed. I agree, as is they are all pretty… but “brilliant” design is far from just looking pretty

September 8, 2009Great collection! I always enjoy seeing good design:)
George Wiscombe
September 9, 2009Some really nice designs, Moon Balloon & RazorRSS are probably my favorites, beautiful and clever – always a good combo!
Cheers.

September 9, 2009Oh, how clever, how interesting!! just about every one of these, a pleasure just to look at.
As someone who is involved internationally, not only in North America but in Europe and on the African continent, I am personally interested in logos that cross over languages and socio-cultural barriers. This is another design universe altogether, applying an additional filter or criterion to considerations that go into coming up with powerful logos.
Comments on this aspect and perhaps in future, a series on logos that address this problem would be interesting.
I came upon this website by hapstance. It was a lucky moment.
Nora Reed
September 9, 2009These are fantastic. Simple, but yet very creative. As someone who is always looking for creative logos, it’s always nice to see a well put together collection.
Chris Morata

September 11, 2009All of these are great! Thanks for sharing. A nice collection to possibly draw inspiration from.
Danny Halarewich
September 11, 2009I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Just because you see a stylized logo does not mean there isn’t a simpler version available for limited mediums, such as print. It’s ignorant to assume that is the case based on seeing a gallery for inspirational purposes.
I don’t believe we should limit visual presentation on screen to match limited mediums, like b/w print. With that mentality, websites would use “web safe” colors always, and we would still be using tables.
I can’t speak for all, but at LemonStand we have a 2-color version that works quite well. It scales down very small as well.

March 5, 2010Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anywho I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also touched on this as I had trouble finding the same information elsewhere. This was the first place that helped me understand this. Thanks.
