loco for logos - part deux

Joelle here, with my selection of great logo designs for the chicks' January design challenge! Yes, February is only hours away, I procrastinated a wee bit. But not because I didn't love the task! It is interesting to peek into the minds of other designers, and see what's going on out there in terms of images, colours, fonts. Because logos and graphic design are very much tied into the world of fashion - there are trends that come and go, and some classic designs that never go out of style! But then of course there are the logos that are still wearing shoulder pads...and we want to steer clear of those at Kanvas Ink. So to research what is being designed around the globe, to get a sense of what is "in", and to just plain get inspiration is something I will definitely continue to do! Enough blathering...
great logo #1: How cute is this? It is a logo for a high-end maternity clothing store near my old stomping ground of Davisville and Mount Pleasant in Toronto. It is a belly - see the belly button! This logo just makes me smile.


great logo #2: I have actually admired this logo for a long time, as it is just so clean and simple. I love the cleverness of how the "b" and "g" are stuck together as one within the circle. Good on ya, Bottlegreen! I like your drinks too...
great logo #3: This is so lovely...very simple and elegant and delicate. It nicely portrays the style of the company's illustrations. Do you think I like circles? Hmmmm...



great logo #4: Now this is clever! The Human Society's new logo with animals forming the shape of the U.S. It isn't necessarily a "pretty" logo but I am impressed with the brain behind it.


great logo #5: Another cutie! Not much to comment on here except that I like the colours, the simplicity, the font, the lightheartedness.

Lastly, Kelly and I agreed to choose one of the logos created by Kanvas Ink. that we each like, and I have chosen a fairly new addition, a logo for a company in B.C. called Pollination.
Kelly was the brainwave behind this one and it so accurately illustrates what the company does (they are 'executive relocation experts') but in a clean, cool as a cucumber way.

Bravo to the designers who created these logos! You have provided much inspiration! And bravo to the crowd still tuned into this riveting blog entry. I blame it on the winter blah's!
