By Steven Snell | Published April 12th, 2010 in Inspiration

Last year we published a post 50 Clever, Creative Logos that drew a great response from readers. Today we follow that up with this collection of 30 more logos for your inspiration. The logos shown here display excellent creativity from the designer, and I think they will be of great interest to lovers of logo design.

    Great collection of logos and I really like how they have all incorporated their main area of business in to each logo. Thanks for taking the time to share these.

    I loved the logos. All of them show double meaning using the words.

  4. BY2 on April 12th, 2010

    i love these logos, they are beautiful

    Great Collection.. “Infinity Skate Shop” logo is Superb… I Love it.

  6. James Dyson on April 12th, 2010

    These are really awesome. Particularly liked the “Calm Coffee” logo and the Illusion one – although took a sec for my eyes to adjust.

  7. Russell Hampton on April 12th, 2010

    You don’t have to be a designer to smile at some of these, and that’s the beauty of it.

    Nice Collection.

    bckspace.. LOL!

  9. Brandon on April 12th, 2010

    Awesome! The toughest part is really figuring out how to turn the play on words into an image that you can tell what it is and looks decent. Well done.

    Love creative logos! What do you think about my recent work? The logo has been designed for the mission to Africa/Chad 2010. It combines 4 ideas of the continent, teenagers, books/education and adventure(zebra).

    Wonderful logo designs. Truly inspirational

  12. Franco on April 12th, 2010

    Great Collection!, I like the negative space use in the Illusion logo

  13. Xcellence IT on April 13th, 2010

    Great collections… with nice inspiring logo designs….

    It’s not that I don’t like them, they really are beautifully executed, but they are not very realistic, I mean does these companies even exist or are they made just for fun. If so, it’s not that hard to take 2 words that have a graphical element associated with each of them and just combine them.
    They do look good, but I don’t see why they are creative, to make a paw for the…”Paw” company or a folder for the “Folder” firm is the first thing that comes to mind. A creative logo is more than that, it qoes beyond these.

    But of course, if we are talking from just the artistic pov, my respects to the designers, but in the real world, the companies don’t have such obvious names and neither do they have just a piece of art for their logo, they have a functional one that tells who they are, their values while trying to send unconscious feelings to those that look at it.

    prigix,
    I think some of them are real and others are fictional.

  16. Casino Lemonade on April 13th, 2010

    I like the Zigzag Collective logo. Hard to read but excellent !

  17. Anna Green on April 13th, 2010

    Some of these logos are ace, I especially like the Jazz Castle, Movie Magazine and Equestrian Clothing logos. Very simple and very cleaver. I bet they took days to tweek in to perfection.

  18. globetro on April 13th, 2010

    @prigix The cleverness is in how they incorporated the associations into the design. Take for instance ThinkTank… sure, you probably would’ve thought of a lightbulb for “think” and a tank for… “tank”. But the cleverness is in assembling the two into an interesting looking design.

  19. HD Guy on April 13th, 2010

    Beautiful logos

  20. Logo Design on April 14th, 2010

    Two in the list really jumped out at me the love clips and master cuts, both show quite a bit of thought behind them.

  21. Jane Cook on April 14th, 2010

    very nice collection of creative icons

  22. Web Risorsa on April 15th, 2010

    Another usual and superb collection of logs inspirations… Nice list…

  23. Victoria Web on April 16th, 2010

    Another excellent collection of logos which are beautifully executed and the best of the bunch, are a play on words like “Equestrian Clothing”.

  24. alex tass on April 19th, 2010

    Hey, thanks for including our work, the Zigzag Collective logo, in this beautiful logo selection. Best regards, Alex.

    It’s amazing how the brain can come up with such clever ideas. Be it for a real company or not, these designs are simply the best.
