Great post. The list of galleries is a particularly good resource.
Great resources for inspiration – thanks!!
Quite a resource there. I’m also a big fan of David Airey, he does a great work (as a logo designer and a blogger). I’m a logo designer too. Anyone interested in some nice logos from Brazil, feel free to come by and say hello. Thanks, and great work.
Awesome round up! I’m working on a logo right now and been workin on sketches, trying to get inspiration anywhere I can. Thanks very much for including a few of my logo design case studies also!
I really like David’s Henri Ehrhart logo and the process on how he got to the final concept.
Nice list!

Whoa, that’s quite the list! personally, I think I’m gonna be checking out the logo blogs a bit more than the others. That’s one area of web design/marketing that has always fascinated me.
Wow. I’m overwhelmed. I’m disappointed that I’m not gonna be interested to use extra of my time to go find sites about logo design anymore, since I don’t think the list you gave could be more comprehensive.
Nice compilation. Anyway for those who are looking for good and value for money logos templates. watch out for istockphoto. They are going to launch a new service allowing designers to sell their logos online.
