In 1964 the logo changed to a more westren theme. This logo was used from 1964-1981 and was known as the “Frontier Font Logo”. It was the first to be used officially.

And our Winning Logo in the emerging trend of Organic Design.

Sometimes people see our logo designs in a way that’s just different. Take this Pepsi logo for example.

Sometimes it just seems like the whole world is picking on you. Do you think Bill Gates has those kinds of days. This is not technically a logo but its funny!

So with the Oil spill a lot of new BP logos have come out.

OK the recession has hit us all hard, and here is where the remaining funny logos come in.

Sometimes all it takes is a card board sign to get a hot meal.

With the recession comes truth in advertising. Take a look at Fords new logo.

There is no harm in beging. Just ask Best Buy.

Looks like the folks over at Apple may be a little hungry.

Looks like Ferrari is taking a more modest approach.

So that wraps up our TOP TEN  FUNNY LOGOS. If you were counting it was eleven logos but that just wouldn’t make a good title. TOP ELEVEN FUNNY LOGOS. Consider it a bonus or something.

What makes some of the most talented designers in the world join a contest in which they may or may not get paid.

It’s for the joy of battle, to be able to say “My opponent was talented and put up a good fight but I was the victor”.

Designers join design contest just for that reason it’s a chance to prove their skills against people from all over the world.

It’s for the same reason that boxers strap on boxing gloves or that runners strap on running shoes and wait in anticipation at the starting line for the gun to sound. They have been honing there skills some for months, some for years, some for only days but in the end only the person who performs the best will be declared #1.

Any athlete will say that you are only as good as your competition. When a high school football player goes to college the competition level increase and so does his skill level.  When the college student goes pro the competition level increases and so does his skill level.

If you are a designer and you want to increase your skill. If you are the type that lives for competition. If you want to see where you rank against other talented designers then pick up your gloves, tighten your laces and give innovative logo design competition a try.
