logodesignlove.com — It ’s becoming more and more difficult to execute original logo designs. No matter how clever your idea, the chances are someone has created a very similar logo.

  • ZenMoments, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I don't have a logo for my site Zen-Moments.com, but as an artist I have a keen interest in, and eye for, design. Will we ever run out of original concepts in visual design? Possibly, and then probably we'll develop a keener sense of the subtle nuances. Of course the legal thing is another matter.
  • jjustice, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Most of these are pretty crazy. "Searchmatch" and "Smashlab", though? They both use a blocky font, and "search" and "smash" are similar words. That one's not as impressive to me.

  • bleemins, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Yikes. I'm not sure that I would want to have the same logo as Planned Parenthood. I would install a metal detector at the door just in case some religious weirdo wanted to accidentally blow up my paper warehouse.
  • MarioBrosCom, on 08/01/2008, -0/+0I'm surprised they didn't mention Swan and Swarovski. Those two logos are literally indistinguishable.
