March 9, 2010Clients often approach me asking for snazzy 3D logos in web 2.0 format. I constantly (and successfully) push them in the direction of clean, simple marks that are memorable and recognizable. These are all fantastic and inspiring examples of the simplicity in logo creation that all designers should follow.

June 5, 2010I love these but I’m noticing that they are just a great visual play on the names of the companies, many of the logo’s leave me feeling like I have no idea what they do – i realise that a logo doesn’t have to say or spell out what a company does, but what if the name of the company wasn’t a word that is easily played on, like someone’s last name for instance? I’m sure there’s some great examples out there, and I feel they probably deserve some more credit for having a more difficult task to work with.

August 17, 2010Most of these logos aren’t for real companies – they’re just made up words to put context to some clever little graphic someone thought of…Either that or the symbol was made first, and then the name of the company was made up simply to fit.

October 8, 2010Some are brilliant although do any of the companies actually exist? It’s easy to design a logo for a fictitious company as you can make a name fit an idea. Logo design becomes difficult when a client comes to you with an established company name and you have to design and print something to fit.
