Symbols, Logos, and Icons on Pinterest


From LogoDesignLove:
1. A logo doesn’t need to say what a person or company does


Restaurant logos don’t need to show food, dentist logos don’t need to show teeth, furniture store logos don’t need to show furniture. Just because it’s relevant doesn’t mean it's necessary.
The Mercedes logo isn’t a car. The Virgin Atlantic logo isn’t an aeroplane. The Apple logo isn’t a computer, etc., etc.
2. Not every logo needs a symbol


A professional wordmark is often more succinct and more identifiable.
