20 Simple But Professional Grayscale Logos
Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by Web Design in Inspiration
When designing a logo, I always design in grayscale, and then move on to adding color. This is because a logo doesn’t need to rely on color to make it stand out from the crowd. The most important bit is that it looks good in all colors, including black and white.
Here is my compiled showcase of logos that look very professional, but have a very simplistic design. Let me know what one you think is the best, and if you have found anymore that deserve to be on the list. Thanks to LogoPond, LogoFaves and LogoSpire for showcasing these logos on your site.

I love this write up and the collection of logos goes very well with your first paragraph. If it’s not powerful with black and white then it won’t shine with color.
Ty for the post
