When you design a logo, there’s some intent behind what you do. For example, I once designed a logo for a company that mostly produced content, and I wanted the logo to have the appearance of type, but without looking like it was created using Courier. Instead, I used a more modern serif font that looked similar to a traditional typewriter’s output, and then made a circular logo that looked like a key from that same typewriter. The client was happy and so was I — win-win.
Most logos have some kind of story like that, but we’re not always privvy to the results. Over at Designhill.com, they created a cool little page that gives the background of some of your favorite logos. We went ahead and took some of our top picks and posted them right here. Check them out!
