It’s interesting to see how each designer has their own thought processes. Just a quick note for businesses seeking an effective logo: Logos can be taken very personal for a client, though they should be seen as what they are; memorable trademarks. If you can achieve a simple symbol that is easily recognizable and not confused with the masses then you’ve achieved an effective design.

I’m surprised some still need to do sketches on paper first, you want to upgrade to wacom guys

Great roundup – some of them more detailed than others but some interesting insights nonetheless. Thanks! Subbed
May 16th, 2010 at 9:06 am
Oh my, this is like a book on logo design. Its nice to know that on some of the items I am right on track “scouring the internet to find as many competitor’s logos as possible”. Also I have some new tips to apply like : I stay as far away as I can from a computer during this stage. I need to do that. Also the incorporation of graph paper – never tried that…..
Muchas Gracias.
May 19th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Great list, some different approaches too, but most resulting in very strong marks and logos.
Cheers.

Amazing list thanks
April 14th, 2011 at 11:03 am
I came across this list accidentally today, and I must say it’s a great insight into the mind of the creative. Thanks for sharing.
In all cases I think these underline one key element – design isn’t magic, there isn’t a ‘silver bullet’, it’s as much hard work and persistence as it is creativity and insight.
Great examples all.
