Great digital sources, but the “Letterhead & Logo Design” series by Rockport Publishers is indespensible in my opinion. http://www.rockpub.com
Great post Steven (especially since we get a mention
)
By the way Logosauce also runs design competitions where experienced designers and rookies alike can enter designs and win cash. User can search keywords and tags too. Build a portfolio and help clients find a great designer.
All free supported by sponsors. Thanks again for the mention.

Nice samples. Actually these samples only keep logic that corporate logo design should be highly instrumental in building your corporate identity and should successfully exude the company’s attitude. The viewers must have some idea about the disposition, character, or fundamental values of your company through your logo.

Great and really helpful resources, but I think DesignBump, a top design social voting site, obviously needs a mention.
We have a wealth of experience in creating high quality prints for the home and retail market and get all thins done.
thanks
My vote for logopond.
