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 · May 9, 2006, 02:10 AM

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 · May 9, 2006, 05:47 AM

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.

It's always nice when the company name is the shape of the logo.
