Beautiful collection, you’ve got a really nice eye for it! Eden & farmdog are my 2 favourites I think. Keep it up!

Thanks Liam, really appreciate it! Will try and keep it up :) Eden is one of my top faves too - another top of the top is Kotton & Zipliner.

Much appreciation and thanks for your time and effort on this post. That said, I wish you would have sized the images and not squeezed them into the spaces above.
My eye was immediately drawn away to the jagged appearance thereby hindering the full enjoyment of these short of doing a view image on each one.
Thanks

I have to say at least 80% of these are terribly mediocre. And yes, they should’ve been resized.

Hi, lovely set of logos, but i have to agree with Foo about the resizing of the images and your slightly missing the point of what he’s saying. Or you just poking at him ( am only poking now so so don’t take offence).
All well designed logos should look good resized, on paper or web. But we are working with pixels her not pts.
Its the first thing I noticed and i’d say it would be the first thing their owners would too.

I love them all but InterfaceFix and Twentyfive92 are some of my favorites.
Trevor
June 24, 2008 at 1:11 pm
the most striking thing about this collection is how similar they all are to each other. Great set if the point was to show how few new ideas there are in logo design today. It’s actually stunning to see how nearly identical the compositions are (icon up top, type centered underneath on all but 9 of them). Beyond that, scaling, form and color is depressingly similar throughout all 50.
The inspiration here should be to break out of our safe themes, not to keep to doing the same things!
adelle charles
June 24, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Thanks for the comment Trevor, the similarities probably come from my style, I chose them because I liked them and it’s similar to color palettes, type and treatment that I design.
adelle charles
June 24, 2008 at 1:34 pm
George, that’s your opinion and I respect that.

adelle charles
June 24, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Elevate, thanks for the comment, however I was choosing designs that I think reflect a certain style and are very well designed logos. I’d like to know why you think they are mediocre or perhaps out of the 20% you do like, which ones?
Trevor
June 24, 2008 at 2:20 pm
adelle charles - very good point that we should all pay attention to with these lists. When showing the work of others, we’re saying as much about our own personal tastes as we are about what we’re looking at. And that can be plenty useful in its own right.

Um… no. Maybe if they were vector-based you’d be correct, but a jpg re-sized (but not resampled) does indeed look like garbage.
It is hard to appreciate these pics when you need to constantly “rightclick->view image” (in FF).

These images seem to be resized solely to fit the design of this page. Squeezing a 300×200 image down to 50×50 (just an example) will distort the image. Anyone not “in the know” would only see jagged images and not understand why. Full respect for the artists’ works means showing the image(s) as they intended. (Try the “fuel your creativity” icon at 270×219.)
