20 Very Clever Logo Designs

Posted on 06. Aug, 2009 by Web Design in Inspiration


I thought that some logo design inspiration was in order, as we haven’t posted anything along the logo lines in a while. I have made a compilation of 20 extremely clever logos. The trick is to look into the logos and see what they are based on, then try and work out what the hidden message is. An example would be the Amazon logo. Many people think the arrow underneath it is a smiley face, when infact it is pointing from the a to the z.

Giraffe

The g is in a shape of a giraffe
1

BarCode

Features a bar glass with bar code lines
2

GetWired

Coffee cup made of wires
3

The Dog House

A house thats turned to look like a dogs head
4

Pencil

Pencil between the i and the l
5

Amazon

The arrow can mean smile or a-z of everything
6

Horror Films

The film reel has 3 holes that look like a face
7

LogoMotive

Looks like the front of a steam engine
8

Eight

The word “eight” made from 8’s
9

More4

More with different length lines making a 4
10

Turtle Island

A turtle made from small islands
11

Families

A family is made up of the 2 i’s and 1 l.
12

Tape

The a and p look like the inside holes of a tape
13

Ed’s Electric

A plug joining which has an E in the middle
14

Wine Searcher

A pair of glasses made from 2 wine bottles
15

Food Writers

A spoon as the inside pen nib
16

Look

The word look which looks like someone looking
17

Version2

The 2 is pushed within the word
18

Umbrella Prints

A U and P making an umbrella
19

Eighteen

The number 18 within the word eighteen
20

    I like the fact that you explained each logo… “The word look which looks like someone looking” classic!

    Some absolute beauties I haven’t seen before. I love Giraffe, get wired, pencil, Horror Films, and Wine Searcher.

    Bookmarked for inspiration.

    There are some very creative designs here. I had to look at the Ed’s Electric logo a couple of times before the E jumped out. Took me a moment on umbrella prints too. Great work.

    Nice. I have seen and previosly admired most of these.
    Although, have to say that I am not too keen on the green for the more4 logo, kind of diminishes its relevance to the present as it looks outdated.

      Totaly and utterly agree with you Mersi, it actually really bugs me (the colour that is) … Why the heck that well outdated 1968 green?

  26. Excellent logos, I especially liked Version2. I read it as just that, at first glance, without even noticing that the 2 was in the middle.

    Nice research! Those logos are very impressive and I can feel that the logo creators certainly would have spent a lot of time designing those.
