Freelance graphic designer’s picture quiz #5: Spot the logo symbol

December 30, 2007 – 3:03 pm

The best kind of logo, in my opinion, is one which relies on an image or shape to convey the company or brand. I would call it archetypal communication.

Above is an amalgam of five of the most famous of such symbols (actually four, the fifth is from a text logo!), can you spot where they’re from? Answers in comments, please.

One of a graphic designer’s most sacred unwritten rules is to not misrepresent or distort a company’s logo in anyway. Whoopse! Well, kids, don’t try this at home!
