There are lots simplistic and effective logos that have been created for smaller organisations but still this is a nice list. Thank you for sharing these.

By the way, I just noticed the date of the post... It has really good positioning in Google for "simple logo design samples" or whatever I searched for... In any case, I want to thank you and congratulate you for this amazing and inspiring website. I visit it often, and this is the first post that I wasn't in complete agreement with you... I have this site bookmarked on all the computers I use... Keep up the good work...

This is an old post so I don't exactly remember the situations that surrounded it and what inspired it, but it probably should have made some of the points that you make about the other factors that have made these brands effective and recognizable. I believe that what I was trying to show was that successful companies don't need a crazy logo, it can be rather simple. Marco,

I believe the marketing behind these companies and their success have made them recognizable enough, but as far as logos go I think some of them are below average, especially Google's... I mean really, it looks like a computer programmer with no design background did it, and it doesn't communicate anything whatsoever about the company, neither do most of the other ones. Dell's logo reminds me of (and very well could be inspired by) Paul Rand's Next logo (which I also don't like)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT I think there are much more effective (in their own right), simple logos been shown in LogoGala.com, or LogoPond.com than the ones shown here... But of course from little known companies that haven't become household names. I think there is a difference between effective logos and effective products, marketing, etc. Google is simply the best search engine, period, that is why we know them... I believe an effective logo is one that engages, communicates and is unique enough to stand out.

It gained popularity just by constan repetition. One problem is the shadow, and another - old style typeface with its edgy corners. Anyway, I like how Google uses the letter "o" for the page count.
