Going through the articles above on the trends of logo designing I think the author has covered most of the logo designing styles. However, I feel the recent trend tends towards simplicity. Most of the corporates this days are intrested for simple designs that would convey a message. If we look back into some of the world famous logo, it simply justifies the recent trend, think about the yellow ‘m” for McDonalds or the triangular logo for ADIDAS–they are all simple and yet convey a pretty clear message.
The best thing in the industry, however, is the affordability of good designs. Thess days there are websites offering logo designs simply for peanuts and they do not compromise on quality !There are even websites that allows you to determine the price you want to pay for your logo design –I was surprised !(check out the site mycorporatelogo.com). With all this companies coming into the industry the competition becomes more fierce and it definitely benefits the customers, coz they are the people who get good logos at cheap price.

Hi, Darren. By the time that Im writing this post (2008), some of the statements have become stale. I agree with Saptarshi. Keep you identitiy simple and meaningful, and it’ll always look ok.
I used The Logo Loft. I am very happy with the results we got from The Logo Loft. The artists took the directions that I gave and turned it into an excellent starting point for our company brand. Their site is http://www.thelogoloft.com
I too used The Logo Loft. I am very particuliar and specific in what I like and don’t like. I needed a professional design that would be the brand for my upper end jewlery line and hand bags and you did not fail me. It was exactly as I had envisioned the logo would be. My logo can stand in the same space as Kate Spade or any other big name designer. (Bet they paid a lot more for their logo, and mine is as good or better than the top designer logos out there.) Special thanks to the logoloft team. They are my design firm. -Christopher Hunt
