A logo (Greek ????????? = logotypos) is a graphical element (ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon, sign) that, together with its logotype (a uniquely set and arranged typeface) form a trademark or commercial brand. Typically, a logo’s design is for immediate recognition.[1] The logo is one aspect of a company’s commercial brand, or economic or academic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Logos are also used to identify organizations and other non-commercial entities.

First came symbols, then came engravings, then the torch and then the flag.

As a history buff, I enjoyed reading a very detailed article from logodesignworks.com on how logos developed in our history.
Next I want to bring to attention, a very interesting article on Handwriting based logos from my friend David Airey’s blog, http://Logodesignlove.com.
The following are a couple of logos I liked from logopond.

David, I enjoy interacting with you, so no formalities at all.. Nandita Jhaveri logo is very Kanji Style no? I like the brush stroke effect….
Love that Nandita Jhaveri logo too. It has a very personal look to it, much like what I’d enjoy a switch to (been meaning to redesign my logo for some time now).
Thanks again for your time earlier, Lak. I’m sure you have plenty more important things to do than deal with my requests.
