A professionally designed logo will not only distinguish your company from the rest but also it uplifts your company’s brand image in the market.

LOT OF CREATIVE IDEAS FOR LOGO IDEAS. THANK YOU! I AM FORM SRI LANKA THEREFOR I WISH YOU AS A BUDDHIST 'THERUWAN SARANA WEWA!!" ROHANA YAPA.

Great post. You got a good point of views, lots of ideas and information regarding logo design styles and techniques.

I can see why there isn't one true approach to logo design. Even just by looking at the couple of examples you provides, you can totally see the variety of designs possible. I think choosing a style mainly depends on what kind of message you want company's logo to have.

Very informative post. I really do hope and pray this stuff works!

Thank you, James!

Great article

Daryl, WOW, nice feedback. We can almost make a separate post out of your comment. Thank you

Really neat breakdown. Logo's are weird things. They portray your attitude / outlook toward consumers. They portray your business ethic. They portray the services / products you offer. And all conveyed with a mysterious element. A logo should never blatently portray your services. The mysterious / abstract element in a logo should allow the viewer to take your logo in and relate it to something so that it is ingrained in their memory.. like you are, in a way, 'allowing them to finish your sentence (logo) for you'. They must be simple (the logo's, not the consumers); as too many elements in a logo will actually leave 'nothing' for the viewer to absorb (a persons memory bank isn't infinite, so your logo should be simple, relative and POP!). By too many elements, I mean, don't use a fancy typeface AND a detailed image; you need just one element to draw the viewers attention and 'upload it into their memory drive' :) My favourite logos are probably ones that use negative space. It tells potential consumers that you think outside the box; that your outlook is not one-dimensional. I must say, simple as it is, the Diamond Paper logo is also very clever. And I'm assuming it wasn't conceived right off the bat. I didn't even have to go back up the list to get that name again. But, ultimately, your logo is just one aspect of your identity. It can't carry your company into the future, only you can do that by strategically marketing your company through relative mediums, 'using' your logo as your mascot and spokesperson (metaphorically speaking, ofcourse). 2nd last point - The design of your letterheads, email signatures, etc.. also play a role in creating your identity. The layout and graphic elements of these mediums need to tie in with your logo to help form a well-rounded brand. Lastly, and most importantly - Colour! It's really the most important element of any brand. Colour definitely triggers emotions. But be careful; the wrong shade / tint / tone / hue of yellow and you go from exciting the viewer, to making them cry. Blue is the most popular colour worldwide. It is very a calming colour; possibly because it reminds one of water (life-giving liquid) or the sky. Imagine the sky was red.. how eery would that be. Yes, now it would be, but if was always red, we might see red as a calming colour. If we didn't we, would probably go bonkers because the sky is in your face all day long. A survival / coping mechanism I guess. Sorry for the rant, but colour, in my opinion, is so critical in conveying your attitude and receiving the best emotional response possible from the viewer. How would you relate to Facebook if their logo was pink / brown...? I don't think they played a game of rock, paper, scissors to choose the colour, they chose their shade of blue to give the viewer a feeling of calmness, security; and to have the viewer see them as a strong company, well-structured and trustworthy. There are always exceptions to the rule though. Life would be pretty boring without them :)

Awesome inspiring logos! I never thought it can be classified or collected. Very extended review. Love it.

Nice article. I think this just about covers the various logo design styles. I especially like the selection of logos you chose, most of those really are very creative.
