Why do people, when talking about good logos, point to designs that were created without a product or company in mind?
These logos were obviously created and they they put a fitting name to them and called it a day... Logodesign doesn't work that way.
Hard to beat.
That little arrow is class.

thank you, exactly what i was going to write.
we already had this thread a few months ago with the exact same examples as above.
these are merely apprentice pieces for young design students; they're supposed to look clever, but they're useless if there's no real project behind it.

I believe he was implying that he spotted it mid sentence, though I don't know who in this day and age doesn't know the Fed Ex arrow thing, just like the Baskin Robbins = 31 thing or the A to Z in the Amazon logo. Should just be common knowledge.
why does everyone thinks that good logos must have this kind of catch? this is a terrible logo
>>258143
Noice
>>259323
Because a 'catch' like in OP's will get someone's attention, at first they will just see the logo, then they will notice the combination of golfer and helmet and think it's quirky/neat, once that is in their mind they will remember it, and that's what a logo should do. Now not every logo needs to do that of course, but it's just one method to make something memorable
>>258198
that made me laugh a lot more than it should have
>>259295
He knew. Trolled.
>>258143
this isn't a god tier logo.
The logo was created first before the name. there was no thought process in this shit.
>>260150
How do you know the logo was made first?
>>260157
Not him, but the logo style and business name seem apart. Not matter how hard they tried to force the font.
Also, looking at it again, really weird way to clip the bottom part of the logo.
>>259164
Don't reference these idiots, their own logo and typography is shit, how or why should I listen to them?
>>258772
The way the right-side base of the 1 rides the stripe rather than staying flat bugs the hell out of me.
>>260157
have you tried looking for this spartan golf club? you cant even if you google it.
It's like cheating.
>>258144
I can only imagine how the designer must've felt when he had the breakthrough idea for the Swan & Mallard logo. I think I would literally cum
One day.....
>>260208
But does it work on the street.
If you look at it as a thumbnail it just looks like a &, I can't even see the word restaurant. So imagine what it would look like in real-life when your walking down the high street.
It would work much better on the menus and as a letterhead.
>>258161
I thought it was supposed to resemble a Q too. My only gripe with it.
really like this one it's make literally by eights.
>>259212
nobody care about your opinion

But then again you can make any letter out of eights, just look at LCD Alarm clocks.

Litterally the most retarded use of the golden ratio I've ever seen... It's even missplaced, did the fucker who put it on top of the logo even go to designschool?
>>260208
the swan&mallard logo was made for an imaginary business.
layton construction. a company near me. i like it becaise the shapes are evocative of a coty plan or bold architecture but really its just a shadow.
>>262892
I like this, though the tip where the two shapes/shadows meet don't look too good to me.

it's the worst logo in the world. it's even worse than the local electrician's logo that was designed by his son. you know the one, where he can't wait to have business cards printed of this thing his son created in Paint with Microsoft Word clipart, and then his son comes out as a closet necro and horse-buggerer. always happens.
>>264398
this logo gave me gonorrhoea
>>264739
While I agree the arrow is relevant to the delivery business, it's barely even noticeable. It's just two letters which form an arrow if you focus on them, get over it. It's not design genius.
The logo is literally 2 words in a lame font, '90s web tier. It's surprisingly uninspiring and mundane for such a big and famous brand. Barely better than eBay.
>>264744
there's nothing to "get over". the moron said it has no reason to exist. that's crayon-eating retarded when they're a deliver company. as for the font, yeah, i agree, futura pro is definitely lame. they should have downloaded a dancing skeletons font from 1000freefonts.com. you don't even have to pay if you link back to the author somewhere on your website.
i'm arguing with fucking retards on 4chan. what am i doing with my life?
>>264744
a logo is a logo, not a da vinci artwork
>>264746
It isn't lame for captions. For logos, it's often too mundane on its own. Looks almost like pic related (it's Helvetica but the point is the same).

Jesus christ guys, clever use of negative space does not make for a great logo. Half of these lose all of their impact at small sizes.
This is my logo for my company. We make rubber balls. It is simple and great at all sizes.
>>268467
looks like jap flag but blue
imagine having a little bouncy line trailing behind it, might drive home that's its actually a fuckin ball
>>260956
Whenever I see wavy intersecting lines like that my first thought is always that they're ripples in a pool of water.
>>268467
Your logo reminds me of Material Design, especially with that shade of blue.
>>266628
i've always loved the type on this, the mountain/bear is a little extra tho
>>266719
I am losing my shit here, excellent work.
>>258144
This is really clever and suits it's purpose.
Anyone that says otherwise doesn't understand that it's for a restaurant not a company or global brand.

Because people are still discussing logos they like? Would you rather another "shoop this for me pls!" thread? Or maybe a "Do my homework for me!" one? How about a "What font is this?" thread instead?
Not particularly good or anything, but this is the logo from a local transport company, I see their trucks all over town, and it took me a few years to realize why i kept noticing them.
they're almost identical to the UFC logo and font, it made me look them up, they're more than 30 years old using that logo, just a happy coincidence.
>>269946

i understood it instantly, but damn...people that need it explained, take it easy...
>>271480
Puzzles are great...if you're not trying to make a brand that has to be instantly recognized and read at a distance or on a letterhead or business card. You want to make a album cover that has some depth to it with hidden shit, go right ahead, that shit ain't for logos, especially if it compromises the readability of it.

actually looks good but that red colour is a little too militaric. i think its not suitable for a nation flag. but of course as an army flag it ooks cool. and i wonder, if you guys made a symbol instead of swastika, what you would do?

I'm not trying to support the negative space designs, they are over done and the cheapest way to make something look more interesting than it is, but this thread is in no way oversaturated with them.
Also that book lovers one isn't negative space, it is literally two books in the shape of a heart, and the FedEx one is just a coincidence, it was never meant to form an arrow.
