the other side of the computer landscape is a company that keeps design at a high priority. the original apple logo was multicolored, sure, but the apple shape is distinct and classic and can be translated easily into two-color presentation. the apple icon is also one of the few logos out there that don't need a logotype to explain what it is. the company distributes its white apple icon window stickers to its customers because it speaks for itself. the logo is successful on all fronts including representation. though it doesn't have a computer connotation, the original concept of apple was computers designed for education and the apple is a perfect embodiment of that.

simple and timeless. still works as well now as when it was designed in 1908

non-fat, light whip, extra hot delciousness

logotype from 1970s ('worm') is still the ultimate futuristic logo. way more influential than the current circular logo (known as 'meatball')
|
|
minimalist, but highly functioning and appealing.

mitsubishi motors have themselves one of the most solid icons in design. the three chevrons are simple, identifiable and convey precision and excellence. the font that accompanies the icon is suitable and portrays the company as being modern and precision-oriented.

A simple, elegant, modern logo that incorporates the idea of music (the negative space inside representing a music note), the ''d'' for drop, and the outline of a water drolplet (the enoutside of the entire icon). Beautiful, highly representational, and functional. Good Stuff.

it looks like an alien designed it, but it this unique logo stays unique, it will pass the test of time
|
|
simple, forward-looking, and elegant

It''s difficult to make an image out of a letter in the logotype, but Chick-fil-A does it well and maintains a level of sophistication even with the cartoonish concept. Great logo. Their scary kow advertisements is another story...

simple and hopeful- much like the candidate

representative and classic

Simple, functional, and representative. The u-haul should be orange and the line should be black (to represent the road), but it's a good logo.
|
|
|
|
simple and unique- the arial-esque font mixed with the rotated 'e' is classic—this logo isn't going to look like it was designed in the '80s
|
|
the reps got the better animal, by far. not only can an elephant stomp on a little donkey, it also makes for a better logo
|
|
much better than that cheesy 3-D glowy neon mumbo jumbo. let's hope the browser is as good as the simplified logo
|

hilarious. sums up politics today pretty well

the world's best search engine is stuck with an average at best logo. this unfortunate result is probably due to a rush to get the brilliant concept to market. another possibility is that it was designed by a programmer, which usually ends up looking like some of the 2s in our critique list. the name, google, is perfect for the concept, though the word was originally spelled googol. it is the word that represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. and the way they incorporated the pages of search results into the 'o's is genius, but the logo still suffers. the font is a basic palatino-esque font called catull, which has nothing altered to make it uniquely google. it's just the font. the simplicity matches the website style, but it doesn't say much for the designer. 3d effect is bad t

i don't know what a tropical bird (the toucan) has to do with an irish stout, but we'll run with it- it's a good logo (or at least it's a mascot). it's even better when the toucan gets the whole guiness glass stuck in its throat.

The icon is unique and has a creative flare, posing the rightmost staff as the end of a pen quill. Beautiful, simple, unique.
