About logos

How to use logo inspiration

A logo has to work small, in one color, and in many places. Browse marks by style, from wordmarks to symbols, and see how they hold up. Notice how restraint often beats detail.

On DesignPorn you can search logos in plain words, or upload a screenshot to find designs like it. Open any item to see its palette with share, its heading and body fonts, and its spacing base unit. Save the best to a board and send it to a client by private link. Every item has a source link and a credit to its author. Next, look at branding inspiration.

Keep going with branding inspiration, typography inspiration and packaging design inspiration.
