Day by day, I’m seeing a lot of designers who don’t have a portfolio site on their own domain and which are satisfied with the little that they get, keeping for the public only accounts on sites like Logopond, Creattica, Behance. This actually very nice of them, but not forever. The problem appears when a possible client wants to take it to the next level. I’ll present to you the following aspects of this problem.
First step, the hardest
Most of the times, logo designers don’t get along with web designing (site design + coding) and choose to stay on the previously mentioned sites, showcasing their gallery and getting comments which, again, is a good thing. But we want more. Much more.

The freelance logo designers and the design firms have kept the logo oven warm and busy cause they have delivered in the past two months some interesting logos. Somehow like your mother or grandma bakes you cookies on a snowy day, the same happens here, the designers have made these logos in order to make a living so that you can have logos for your inspiration. It would be bad to disappoint them so you can only enjoy these brilliant logos.
In the meantime, I think you’ll find these articles quite interesting

Cerulian blue, blue lagoon like, sky blue etc. Blue is one of the colors that offers a great variety of shades which is very helpful for the designers. It is probably one of the few three colors that NC Winters’ designer character won’t complain when asked to create a logo (I’m referring to the one that you keep on seeing on FreelanceSwitch). Why blue you might ask? Because it is calming, relaxing, peaceful and some might call it the color of logic, the color that activates the mind. Many can be written about different shades of blue because each one means a different thing but I’ll resume on showing 41 of the best blue logos that I’ve found.

It may be a happy, friendly, sunny and energetic color but it is also a difficult one. That may be the reason why not so many designers used it in their logos, or why the clients did not ask for it. Don’t expect to find here the Yellow Pages logo or some of the known-by-everyone-logos, you will see some of the most elegant and beautifully made yellow logos that have not had that much exposure but which you will appreciate by the time you finish this article.

Environmental, money, natural, organic, profit, earthy, growth, trust. Words like these are associated with the color green. Most of the logos in this article are related to these words but some are not. The important thing is that they’re all well designed logos and their authors deserve some appreciation. Good job guys.
