15+ Amazingly clever logos

December 10, 2008 from Youssef Sarhan's blog

Logo design is a huge part of graphic design. A logo is a name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition. I'd like to share with you a selection of logos that I feel are some of the best around. Hope you enjoy.

These are all taken from the book, 'Logo', a book from a design journalist, Michael Evamy, published by Laurence King. Laurence King have a great range of Art & Design related books.

 Sonudos Case Study by Jennifer Cirpici
The image of this Study Case I'm about to explain is made for the client Soundos. She's a comedian in The Netherlands. I worked on it at work for 2 days, around 13 hours. It was a fun project and the client was very happy with it when it was done. And when the client is happy, I can consider it done. First version Here is the first version. Nothing special about it yet; basically I've rendered her and searched for a nice background to put her in. It was important that the whole image was capable for her site (www.soundos.nl) and that the perspective was right.
