Have to say that T Mobile is on my top ten hated logos – it’s awful.

Okay, Google’s logo is AWFUL. That’s the only reason it’s memorable. It’s so frustrating to hear/see it get any accolades. It’s like the guy that wears his grandpa’s blue tux to a party, and he’s considered retro. Not brilliant. WEAK, WEAK, WEAK.

Conflicting colors.

Poor font choice.

Poor balance.

NO design.

Love it. Personally I like the GAP logo so much.
Thanks for the post.

But if you made something like that for GraphicRiver they’d reject it, shows how much they know.

Desagree!! We know most of the logo selction because of the billionaire investment through the years and not for the design itself- Google logo is awfull! SONY and GAP logos are just a typography.

Stamatis,
I agree with you that the logo is impacted greatly by the rest of the marketing and branding. The point was simply that a logo doesn’t have to be anything fancy or extravagant to be memorable and effective.

I don`t think that these logos here worth any big award.
If you have the money to promote (and the trusts that these logos represent ain`t small…) then even a dot will do your job.
They are nice logos but i have seen a lot better.
Honestly T-Mobile or Google (no matter how much we all appreciate this company) have something to say to you guys ?
The logos i appreciate here are Nike, Adidas and Apple

This is a nice list of logos but these are all major corporations. 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.

nice list…I am a huge fan of the puma logo also. Simple and along the same lines as the logos above.

Completely agree with you… 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…
