Last week I showcased a plethora of logos with clever typography. Of course a logo isn’t only about great typography, many of the most iconic ones feature a clever mark or symbol, so I decided to extend this series. I hope you enjoy the clever logos that follow!

push-the-bottle

cowbra-productions

web-ankor

cinema-cafe

burganic

piano-first

cafe-news

core-cider

caveman-entertainment

cakefilm

get-wired

invisible-agents

Final Thoughts

It was really a lot of fun searching out these logos. Which is your fave?

    Amazing cretive logos, I’m curious with how those logo designers came out with such clever output. Should be some sort of challenging process! :)
    Nice post and inspiring as usual! Thanks :)

    CafeNews and Cowbra are my favorite of the bunch. I think one of the trends that makes a good logo is creative use of negative space, as demonstrated in many here.

    Such a neat find. I love them all but I think the Piano forest takes the cake. Amazing how much information can be conveyed in just black and white alone!
    Very creative.

    Loving the piano forest one… so simple and bang on the money.
    I wonder if the logo drove the name, or the other way?…

    as John Maeda would say…simplicity rules!

    Hard to pick a favorite logo - like too many of them! But if I had to only choose one I think maybe, Core Cider.

    I could never get sick of seeing clever logos like these. I really like Cowbra (I used to draw tigers in the same style when I was six or seven years old! Not with the same level of mastery, of course) but I think my favourites here are Push the Bottle and Cinema Cafe

  13. very nice showcase ans inspirative ones!
    i like the mix in cowbra too, core cider and cinema cafe are really appealing too.

    Stunning! Really good work!
    Hard to choose one favorite, but if only one could get my vote it would be Piano Forrest.

    There all good. Least favorite is Cafenews (salt?) and CoreCider (image is of peel, not core) although both are aesthetic

    Wow. That is a seriously impressive ‘plethora’ of logo designs. Each and every one not only shows good design skills, but great concept of ideas.

    Inspiring!

    If you notice carefully, all these logo are masterpieces of logo design world, showing how cleverly graphic designers play with the designs.

    This post reminds me of my blockbuster post where I placed a huge compilation of “25 Logos with Hidden Messages” which was hugely appreciated

    Cinema Cafe for sure! The way the film twists down into the shape of a coffee mug is so unique and clever!! Web Ankoris pretty clever, too. A very interesting twist on two very comon icons.
    Awesome post!

    These were some great examples of logo design, I recognize a few of them from other sites. I really like “Caveman” personally.
