Choose your favorite logos.

[Sutekidane]

Hey, I'm looking for inspiration. Post your favorite real world logos and why you like them! :-D

I choose the hyundai logo for it's modern and dynamic look, though it's been around for a while. It's pretty appropriate since Hyundai means 'Modern' in Korean.

Maybe its just cause I like the cars... I dunno. Can't really explain it. Maybe cause it goes wit all my gold chains around my neck foo'

[Shamus]

Oh, nice one Heb1228. :)

That reminds me, ive always liked the Porsche logo. I would say its because I have always liked their cars.

Quite Literally Iconic.

and in the car theme, I think this is one of the most passionate looking images I ever see.

Hard to say why I like it so much. Simple, yet spot on.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity...

Although I can't help but notice, most of what's been posted so far (this one included) contains a number of those things we're always saying "not" to do use, gradients, drop shadows, etc.

Design that stands the test of time does it for me.

[phreakout13]

I've always liked just about anything by Paul Rand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rand) My favorite is the NeXT logo.

[freeny]

I have always the Nickelodeon family of logos to be pretty smart.

Washington State University (WSU)

I just love how clever the letters w, s, and u was implemented into their mascot, the cougars.

GO COUGS!

Some of my favorites:

[dpaanlka]

Oh yeah and...

[dogbone]

I like the blufm logo of course http://functuck.com/images/blu.gif because we designed it :)

but I also like the bm logo because of it's subtle suggestion of a stylised propeller. They were in the aeroplane manufacturing business before the war.

So is, and was, Saab. Their logo is a Griffin, mythological winged lian/eagle hybrid creature....

Hence the name of their current light attack fighter, the Saab JAS-39 Gripen ("Griffin" in Swedish) often found prominently featured in their advertising. It's easy to spot them in the commercials - with their unique forward mounted horizontal stabilizers (set of mini-wings near the front).

[MagicWok]

I really like the way the bud logo is made up.

And the thundercats logo is just simplistic, but amazingly effective!
