40 Amazingly Clever and Unique Logo Designs

Some logos have their own hidden meaning that the designers have very skillfully presented, therefore, are recognizable and unique. We’d like to share with you a selection of logos that we feel are some of the best. Hope you enjoy and like this collection.

This post has another purpose, as we know that Logo Nest does not accept logos that are on sale, so this post will help designers to sell their remarkable proposals and submit to our gallery, potentional buyers will not go wrong if they decide to buy a logo from this collection.

  1. Such a cool collection. I was familiar with all except FanPage. Hard to name some favs here.. but Big Park, Rockit and Spartan are def among the top.

  2. Very tidy collection, thanks! Definitely some favs in there.

  3. Awesome…. Especially the first one!

  4. Good set of logos. Not only are they simple, adaptable, and easy to remember; but man most of them have exceptional use of negative space.

    Come on, WAKE UP guys!

    Ok, so some of these are pretty enough, but most of them are just a picture describing the name of the ‘company’ without telling you anything about the company of what they do.

    Are these all actual real companies?? I looked a heap up and couldn’t actually find any in use. What are the standards in terms of proving it’s not just a graphic designer having a fun weekend without clients? Let’s face it, it’s the clients that generally screw with a great logo, are their any clients actually involved here, or are these like the ’self commissioned’ section in the awards??

    A really great logo is more than just a sum of it’s parts, it should tell you something about the business, not just the name!! It should tell you something about the qualities of the business, what they do, how they do it, not just a picture of their name!

    ALSO show me an amazing logo for a company that doesn’t have some wirky interesting name.

  14. @Australian Designer That’s why the Spartan Golf Club is the best. It’s a great artistic piece with the message to deliver.
    Though I have to agree it’s really hard to get stuff like this with the clients. I personally had to throw some nice negative space logos to the bin, because it “didn’t fit”

    Somehow I feel like “negative space” is used way to often.. sure.. its a nice effect… but I think it would be better if it be used more conceptual instead of “find a way to force negative space into a made up logo” … This one is a great exemple!

  16. Very disappointing to find ALL these logos on Brandstack… Even worst, NONE of them is sold :(

  17. To my mind that’s what design world is experiencing now. Design for design’s sake. Things which are typically paid for and created for real clients really seldom hit the listing like this or are featured on design sites.
    On the other hand, abstract designs for abstract people are what we find migrating from inspirational site to site.
    Definitely it doesnt relate to all logos but IMHO that’s becoming a trend.

    I really think good logo design combines both:

    • Being creative
    • Deal with the client

    If you dont have a client that tells you “I like it BUT …” I wouldnt call it true logodesign. We all know how hard it is to deal with the ideas of a client. If you get rid of the whole client part, where is the challenge then? it is way easier to make up a ficticious brand name like “Rocket golf” and then build a nice logo around it like YOU want, then makeing something the client is happy about. I dont really have a problem with unused proposal logos being submitted to such sites, but pure ficticious work? Not really a fan of it.

  19. These are simply amazing!

    Nice collection of logos. Will be of great help.
    My five top:
    1) Carpe Diem Shoes; works without the text very nicely.
    2) EconEnergy; Feels very much “in time”.
    3) Mister Cuts Barber shop.
    4) Bird; Very soft and nice, but what do do?
    5) LighThouse; Great effect, but do they do?

  21. wow havn’t seen that my invisible agent logo is on logonest, thank you very much for featuring! ^^

    @ Australian Designer: I think not all are made just for fun.

    Brandstack is also a market for designers, where they have the chance to sell their unused ideas which were rejected or if the client simply choose an another concept (like in my situation…)

  22. Agree with australian designer and dominic rodel. A good logo is not only based on creativity, but the combination of Being creative + Deal with the client. Saw a lot nice logo design proposal in behancenetwork, they are not only showing the logo design development, but yet the logo adaptation to the business.
