There were times when people use to prefer frilly and vividly decorative logos but now time and trends have changed. To have a successful logo, designers are playing more with the fonts nowadays. Although clients coming up with the requirement to have a “type based logo” think such logos are easy to design. Maybe many of you won’t agree to this statement of mine…designing a typographic logo is much more challenging than creating a traditional one, which is, type + image.

Well, this new working approach made me research some successful and famous typographic logos. Although creative work can be never confined to specific categories but to highlight the beauty and variety of Typographic Logos, I have placed them under different titles.

I am sure you will be impressed to see how the subtle creativity and smart concept of these typographic logos can be so effective. Don’t you think Typographic Logos are more difficult to design…atleast, I think so :s

Although the concept of creating a face by playing with the letters, is quiet old but at the same time it a frequently used style. These logos here might look childish or cartoonish but one cannot deny the hard work and effort designer has put into them.

Cropped Typographic Logos:

In these logos you will notice how the letters are being cropped in unique way but still they deliver the company name quiet evidently. The designers have to be very tactful to design a cropped logo without the company name being overlooked.

Symbols and Typographic Logos:

It is a clever idea to merge symbols with fonts while designing a logo. However, designers should be careful enough to see that the used symbols contribute effectively in conveying the message of a business. Here are few typographic logos where symbols are used to deliver the message more clearly and successfully.

Looking at these conceptual logos, don’t you think Typographic Logos are little tricky and demanding to be designed. While designing these logos, graphic designers become more careful as they gotta convey the right message using fewer elements.  Now I would like you all to share your honest perspective….which logos you find more difficult to be designed, typographic logos or the regular logos (text+image)
