10 logos that usually don’t make top 10 lists

Nike, Apple, and Target have great logos, and there are many top 10 logo lists that include them. The same lists often include FedEx, Google and McDonald’s too, but I wanted to take a moment and draw attention to some lesser publicized brands for their great logo designs.

Other great logos

You may not have heard of all of these brands, but they are real. No imaginary companies in this top 10 logo list. Hopefully you too appreciate the great logos these companies, organizations, and entities have created.

Napster

I’ve always liked this logo, even when they got tarnished.

logo_air-force

United States Air Force

Such a strong, dynamic logo especially considering the layers of bureaucracy this must have gone through.

logo_under-armour

Under Armour

Personifies the solid features of the product. Looks great in a single color.

logo_buffalo-w-w

Buffalo Wild Wings

Is it dinner time yet?

logo_nbc

NBC

I know this logo gets some acclaim, but usually nothing compared to CBS, even though I’ve always preferred this one.

logo_phish

Phish

While we’re on the rainbow theme, this musical group has sold so much merchandise featuring this logo it’s ridiculous.

logo_quake

Quake

This logo has held strong with minor variation through four game releases, numerous pieces of fan art and tattoos, you name it. Just about any gamer would recognize this at a glance.

logo_capitals

Washington Capitals Hockey

This logo has it all wrapped up in one dynamic package; the eagle, the “W”, and the capital.

logo_obama

Barrack Obama

While I know I will take some grief for this selection, this logo also encapsulates a larger meaning in a simple illustration; the american flag, the “O”, the sunrise over our land (negative space in the “O” is the sun). Probably one of if not my favorite political candidate logos of all time.

logo_zippo

Zippo

Simple concept, simple logo.
