Your logo is one of your most important marketing tools. If used properly, it helps your business get noticed, conveys your brand personality and can sell anything from sweatshirts to shot glasses. These logo designs represent untold hours of creative development and focus group testing, and you can learn from that investment of time and capital. For instance, about 75% of these logos feature some shade of red. Coincidence? Probably not. Enjoy browsing. Hopefully your logo will be in the Top 200 someday!
