As small as they are, logos hold deep, complex meanings about an organization, a product or a professional. It is said that „The best things come in small packages” and logos are the perfection reflection of that expression.
There is a wide, false impression that logos are easy to do. Beyond the possible image combined with text, nothing is actually random or formulaic. Or it shouldn’t be. A good logo requires research, planning, creativity, technical skills and plenty of trial and error known as experience.
The digital era is defined by speed, more and more quantity and less and less time, so I would think memorable logos are harder to find. Business ideas (good or bad) pop up at an increasing rate, as society becomes more segmented, with special niches. Business are looking to set themselves apart and strive to create an identity for themselves. As a result, the high demand for that has lead to the creation of logo templates.
These templates are based on types and styles of logos that tend to recur. They rely part on familiarity, part on seasonal trends. Some people regard them a bit as cheating or lazy, but templates should actually be used as a starting point, a push in the logo creation process, not the destination.
Bearing that in mind, we’ve compiled a selection of Free Logo templates, based on types and styles, to boost your productivity, to inspire and guide you.
