This logo was designed by Alexander Lanevski for Ufa City Hooka e-shop. (Indstry- Hooka Entertainment Market). I think this logo is effective because not only does it incorporate the image of a hooka, it also includes the first letter of the company without actually using a letter. I also think it's clever how they put sunglasses on the hooka and turned it into a smiley face. (:

I enjoy the integration of the camera symbol combined with the font style and scale.

The typography has a flow that resembles fonts used by camera brands since the early sixties.

Nice use of a legible company name that simultaneously presents its logo as a letter.

Michael Jackson Memorial Logo

This is a logo that was created for an MTV video montage commemorating Michael Jackson. It is undoubtedly representative of MJ's form and PERFECTLY uses his shoes as the universally recognizable element.

Champion International Corporation

This design was made by Crosby Associates for the Champion International Corporation. The combination of simple lines and color to disclose the company's abbreviation make this a viable logo.

Literacy Volunteers

This design was created by the company Dotzero Design. The logo's main designers were Jon and Karen Wippich and it was created for the company Literacy Volunteers. I chose this design because I thought it was simple and to the point. The book and its turning pages are a very clear symbolic representation of literacy, which is obviously the main goal of the Literacy Volunteers company.

STELLFIRE ENTERTAINMENT

This was done by Chris Taylor of the Creative Beard design firm. The client is obviously involved in the entertainment industry which is evident and a prominent factor when looking at the design. The way Taylor blends the silhouette of a gun and a camera is the dominant factor and pun intended in many ways. His approach may have been to use film terms to his advantage as well as the Company's name. For example, the fire part of Stellfire Entertainment could have been used in many ways but he chose to use the idea of a gun. The association that filming is also called "shooting" in film terms was a pretty good door way that he chose. I also appreciate the fact that the image has sort of a ghost like feel to it. Also associating it to other factors in the industry like it could be a negative in film. I believe the simple characteristics and the obvious message it portrays makes it a successful logo that people will immediately recognize.

I chose this design because I feel it is simple and to the point. I was looking for a non-profit corporation with a simple logo that could be used on stationary as well as signs and other advertising. This is a good example.
