Famous logo brands

Over the years, brands had their way in entering people’s minds. The thing about making important brands is all about the image that revolves beneath the product itself. Marketing is a very important factor of human civilization nowadays, so, we must keep in mind that visual imagining is more important in the advertising business than one could ever imagine.  For this to happen you need people with special skills in drawing (as it was in the past when graphic design was not that popular dew the lack of technology).

For thousands of years, humans have utilized symbology and iconography to communicate with one another. From childhood, we learn to associate symbols and icons with specific feelings or ideas. This is the same with branding, as logos come to embody the brand’s personality in the mind of the consumer. Brands take tremendous effort in creating emotional connections with the consumer, and logos are just one of the many ways they can communicate who they are. Some logos are so prevalent in society that they are instantly recognizable.

Below is a collection of few of the most recognizable logos. Some have seen multiple generations, and some are very new, but all are easily recognizable and might even evoke some feelings toward that brand. Let these designs inspire you!
