20 Very Clever Logo Designs
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.
GiraffeThe g is in a shape of a giraffe | BarCodeFeatures a bar glass with bar code lines | |
GetWiredCoffee cup made of wires | The Dog HouseA house thats turned to look like a dogs head | |
PencilPencil between the i and the l | AmazonThe arrow can mean smile or a-z of everything | |
Horror FilmsThe film reel has 3 holes that look like a face | LogoMotiveLooks like the front of a steam engine | |
EightThe word “eight” made from 8′s | More4More with different length lines making a 4 | |
Turtle IslandA turtle made from small islands | FamiliesA family is made up of the 2 i’s and 1 l. | |
TapeThe a and p look like the inside holes of a tape | Ed’s ElectricA plug joining which has an E in the middle | |
Wine SearcherA pair of glasses made from 2 wine bottles | Food WritersA spoon as the inside pen nib | |
LookThe word look which looks like someone looking | Version2The 2 is pushed within the word | |
Umbrella PrintsA U and P making an umbrella | EighteenThe number 18 within the word eighteen | |

I like the fact that you explained each logo… “The word look which looks like someone looking” classic!
Abounding Media (3 years ago)
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.

You are very creative!

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say that I am not too keen on the green for the more4 logo, kind of diminishes its relevance to the present as it looks outdated.

Totaly and utterly agree with you Mersi, it actually really bugs me (the colour that is) … Why the heck that well outdated 1968 green?

For whatever reason, none of the logos load on IE8
Andy (3 years ago)
Its an IE8 bug. I would strongly suggest using Firefox or Opera.

The ‘Families’ is cool design.
Fergal, Business Advice Forum (3 years ago)
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.

The “Eight” logo is clever with all the different versions of the number 8.
