40 Creative Examples of Symmetrical Logo Design

Dustin Betonio — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:00:00 +0000

The importance of good and easy to remember logos is not to be underestimated! Excellent logos are simple and at the same time tells a story or delivers a message. One way to achieve simplicity is by using symmetry as a design element. Simple as it sounds symmetrical logos are created by flipping one side over and reusing it – just like putting a mirror on the center-line. A true symmetrical logo has perfect identical sides, but still manages to maintain its uniqueness and still supports the brands and delivers the main message. In this post, I will showcase 30 creative and unique examples of symmetrical logos that I hope will inspire you. Just a tip if you need a new logo: I have been using 99Designs.com recently to have a new logo designed and I’m really overwhelmed by the number of designers participating and logo designs I have received. One option is the Logo Store with pre-made logo concepts and then there is the contests that I have been using. Check it out is you need a new logo.

Also, this strategy is intended to bring passion, energy and excitement to an otherwise dull game competitions.

35+ Logo Inspiration With Clever Use Of Symbols

Lars — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:47:37 +0000

Quality logos encompass companies branding identity into one tiny graphic and in some cases vision and strategy is contained as well. That is why Logos are so important and inspirational to investigate. Good designers put significant effort into creating logos and it is an iterative process where multiple design ideas are created and presented.

Good logos are seriously difficult to create, why tutorials where you can learn how others do it can be worth investigating. In my opinion pure inspiration from looking at good and clever logos is still the best approach. Logo tutorials is also good for inspiration.

Typography is in many cases an important element in logos and you may benefit from looking at other designs with great typography and combine some of ideas into Logos. Here you find loads of typo-inspiration.
