graphic designers logos

A good font with 2 simple shades that focus around the color black. the umbrella is in between the words to draw attention to it without being in the middle. Very interesting curve to it too.
Simple with two initials that have two simple corresponding colors and an interesting stroke. The words Graphic Design are below in a good matching font so that people know what the company's about.


The focus is on the i in ignite that takes the form of a torch, perfect for the logo.

logo images













very simple and easy to remember. An H and a P, white and blue, as well as a good font along with parts of the letters stretching out to keep it interesting.


never been a fan of internet explorer, but they have no problems with their logo. An e for explorer with a golden ring to imply traveling the globe. I could never forget it.

one of my favorites. interesting swirrels that make the shape of a hot cup with a combination of blue and red. the best logos in my opinion leave something for the imagination.
