Nice collection. But you got Elastic Digital twice.

I love Ice Cream Love and Bird for sure! you have Elastic Digital on there twice.

Nice collection of logos. Many of these look great in color, but they also break one of the foundational principles of logo design — reproducibility. I’m specifically referring to black and white line art and halftones. Although we are moving towards a more complete digital era, designers must not ignore print media. Nearly half of the logos presented here would not reproduce or translate very well in black and white or halftones. Some of the values, tints, shades and hues used in the color schemes are too close to translate into a very clear and high contrast mark even if just one color were used.

In addition to the color treatments, the illusion of transparency and the use of gradients, while popular and trendy today, is lost in translation when moving from full-color to black and white.

Keep in mind that we still have companies, vendors, customers, and clients who still use fax, advertise in the newspaper, or in the yellow pages. True, the time will come when none of these communication tools will be around, but while they’re here, logo designers must be cognizant of them when creating a mark.

Thanks for letting me share my opinion

Logosnap.com is a “fast food” logo site. It tells companies that it’s okay not to have an individual logo or a logo specifically designed for them, that it’s okay to half-ass something like their identity.

It’s bad enough I need to justify my services on a weekly basis, but to see someone in the graphic design field shilling for such a company is really hurtful.

There are two great arguments here and here.

Basically, why would someone pay my fees (which take into account my training, computer programs, computer, and talent) when they could get a free McLogo, with all of the cheap taste and lack of substance?

I don’t know what you mean by giving “life” to a logo. Last I checked designers were needed because while a small business owner may know what they THINK they want in a logo, they do not have the knowledge of what makes a good logo. Telling a small business owner that they can make a good logo for “free” (and then need to pay $60 to finalize it) is as good as telling me that I can cut my own hair. Yes, it CAN be done, but other people are going to know that I was too cheap to pay for the real thing.

I am sorry, but I really don’t believe that anyone on this site is a true graphic designer. I thought we could have a real discussion about this, but honestly, I think I’m just helping your SEO. I mean, today your entire post was just about the company you advertise for.

wow i love looking at others work, these are really cool

The more I look at these, the more I realize that most of these are really colorful. Movement is great and sometimes hard to achieve depending on the logo you are working with. Good Examples…It would be cool if these also had sounds with them , too!

Creatice logo compilation. Really interesting post. Thanks….
