Classic, new, obscure, common, simple, complicated, active, dead, annoying, stupid, subtle, etc.


Alley Cat Cycles in Minneapolis, MN.  Brilliant in its simplicity and humor.

The happy coffee drinkers in this logo also comprise a subtle skull.

Yeah.  It looks like it's trying to wink. :o

Not about logos really but who the hell ever thought that Microsoft would be a good name for anything?

Has there ever been a more beautiful, elegant Logo for a sports franchise in the United States?



I put the United States qualifier above because those bullies over in Toronto have a pretty fair one themselves.

On the Baseball side of things my beloved Detroit Tigers have had wonderful home uniforms forever but have
struggled a bit in the logo area through out the decades:

I've always thought this is a particularly bad one

The pirate logo route is rich, rich territory to farm!

The Blackhawks uniform, in its entirety, is the best in hockey IMHO.

The SJWs are pushing to create controversy where there has been none in the past. The Blackhawks have a tremendous outreach to to First Nations community.

I don't know what it is with you lately.

With there persistent pestering for Win 10 they should be renamed Micronag.

Excellent. Best one so far on the page (even though I've never heard of the company.)

I've always liked it.  A simple, classic design.  Besides, it reminds me of a cool TV cartoon.


One of my all time favorites.

The old Procter & Gamble logo.

Here it is cast in metal:

I spotted this logo by Stone and Parker while watching South Park last night.  (season 6, ep. 1; Jared has Aides)

"Flex Gym." 

A big red ball or planet with muscled arms.  hahaha

I don't know why it's so damned funny to me, but it is.

Join Flex Gym, today!  (red ball punches angrily toward camera view)

Does WWII Nose Art off of aircraft count?

Pretty famous one here

the city of south park has some really weird zoning laws.  a 24 hour gym ten feet from houses?  i'm starting to think this show isn't very realistic.

I don't see why not.  We can call it "Millitary Branding."

Most excellent - here is one of my favorites of the  non-hootchie variety


Mr. Fidget

CarToons!

I think the paper cup manufacturers are in cahoots with the dry cleaning industry.

I know they could make a no drip cup!
