Great stuff, Steven. I visit many of these sites frequently.
Thanks David. Some of these were unfamiliar to me until I researched this post. There are some great resources out there specializing in logos.
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.
Why are you write Top 10 and when you count it shows 11 total?
Thanks for sharing – You’ve been featured on http://www.smaakit.co.za
Hi Steven,
Would be so kind to include a number 11?
I notice this article has quite a few bookmarks so I thought it would make sense to put http://logooftheday.com here too
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.
My favorite source of inspiration is Apple.com, and everything apple. This is such a cool company, that you won’t go wrong.
We just launched a new logo inspiration gallery here:
