We frequently talk about typography here at WDL. Whether it be in web design or print design, typography plays a big part in making or breaking a design, especially if the design’s main focus is typography. In this post we are showcasing 30 typography focused logo designs. In these logos you won’t find any icons or symbols. It’s all about type.

I wanted to show you my company logo that I designed, which is also a typographic logo: https://www.gillico.com/images/gillicologo128pt.png

What do you think?
Nice collection, lots of inspiration 🙂
Very creative logo designs, although some of them are difficult to read
Nice collection. But, some are vey difficult to read.
Really a nice set of logo’s that any new company can draw inspiration off of when looking to create new logo.
Great round-up, thanks for sharing.
The key to getting an amazing typography based logo is to hire someone who specializes in typography 1st, graphic design 2nd.
Wow, some very creative examples here. Unfortunately, a more than a few are very hard to read, even one or 2 that I still am unsure of.
Good inspiration for how to work with typography, but definitely legibility needs to be key to a typographic logo.
Interesting ideas, but the proble with most is that they are difficult to read. Rule number one, people should look at the logo and know exactly what company it is for. If you have or want to do something nifty with the type, create one that is easier to read with some type of graphic and a more standard text. Then shop it around to like minded peole and your grandmother. If it passes, it will work for most.
It is a very good collection of typography based logo designs.
I sometimes get asked about wheter to include an icon or typographic elements in a logo design. My answer is that typography always needs to be there, as nearly understood the same way all over the world, and it is the best way to make your brand memorable.
So typographic design is an essential part of logo and brand design.
Nevertheless, if your typographic approach is hard to read, I suggest including your brand name in a more standard, but extremely clean – and easy to read – way, as an additional tag-line. That way, people will remember your full name in a blink, while keeping your image distinctive and eye catching.
I really liked …
1. One Fund
2. Sweet Land
3. Adipe
Really great examples..there were some that I couldn’t even make out the company name…Thx for posting
Great work, it very hard to master these type of logos.
Not all of them work great as a “logo” but nevertheless great collection of nice logos!
Thanks for putting this together!
Best wishes
Expression without illustration is hard to design. Choosing typeface/ fonts for the logo is a tough job. with the right balance of colors and fonts one can create legendary logo designs
Some good examples are ‘3m’, Microsoft, and ‘LG’ logos
Good work .Thanks a share
Great collections of simple logos
Hi all
Im new here, but wow the fonts are all looking very good.
How do i download them?
Some of them deserves a medal, others are hard to read and only a few will see the whole thinking behind these logos and “read” them.
great collection of logos , thanks
Some are very good but some are way too complicated and difficult to read. If you look at the biggest companies in the world, their typographic logos are very simple and easy to read, Google, Facebook, Sony, Philips, etc. Less is definitely more.
Very inspiring collection, I love the Amazing Seven logo, simple is often best. Thanks for sharing.
Very Cool, inspirational and very creative applications. Some though are difficult to read, and the charm logo is straight, not much thought put into that.
