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.

The design of a logo is simply the image you left in the mind of the consumer. So to see the work of “ALEOS” I think that they’re professionals at what they do, I recommend I have done several jobs with them and all have been excellent.
