CS85 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I've wanted to start a thread like this for awhile, so let's do it. I feel like I see logos and designs all the time out in the car or wandering stores, from local places to smaller companies. If you see something interesting in your world, snap a picture and let's see what designs are out there. Here's some to get things started: There's a sign for "Mr. Landman" I see on the drive to the interstate pretty frequently. His muscly corn arms always give me a giggle. Saw this at a Menard's the other day. Just thought it was an interesting design. This is the logo for a local bar/brewery that is quite good, and is the only bar in the area that seems to try at having a signature design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Our favorite local Mexican chain's logo is pretty amazing. And the local microbrewery scene has really good artwork. (notice the Dodger Stadium scoreboard shape) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Oh yeah? How about Black Dog? It's actually very impressive BBQ for the area. Jarling's Custard Cup is another CU institution, now co-owned by Tom Hanks' brother, who I believe is a professor at the university. Local massage/PT place's new logo I saw on Instagram. Papa Del's is a deep dish place in the region that a lot of people like for some reason, but it is 90% bread, 10% sauce, 0% flavor. This is a sign for Petey's Bungalow, which is near-ish my grandparents' place in Oak Lawn. Pretty cool retro neon sign that's always stood out to me when I'm up in that area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 More from LA's suburban South Bay: And, the LA area also has this phenomenon of independent fast food Mexican places all featuring the same color scheme/font/caricature choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Digging through some old PC Mag archives and found a wealth of 80's/90's excellent IT logos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 This is a local brewery a few towns from me. I absolutely love the logo. In a world of bad craft brewery logos, CT Valley Brewing nails it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Not sure if it's 100% applicable to the rest of this thread, but Red Rocks unveiled a logo for their 80th anniversary not too long ago, and it looks sharp as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 If you're from Calgary, you know who Pete the Plumber is. No idea how Disney/Marvel hasn't done anything about this (or maybe they have at some point, nothing seems to come up when I Google it). Also Peters' Drive-In. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I'm a sucker for a nice script-style wordmark, so here's a couple from the Twin Cities as well. Lettermen Sports in Blaine and Plymouth. The shirts and hoodies with the logo on it are wildly popular. And here's a coffee shop that has a couple of locations across the Twin Cities. Five Watt Coffee Their coffee is pretty decent as well. The lightning bolt as a tail is just fantastic! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just at Red Rocks a couple weeks ago and I remarked on how much I liked a lot of their branding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Here are a couple of my favorite local logos. Ugly Dog Distillery makes vodka, whiskey, gin and has a craft cocktail bar. Barn Sanctuary is a farm animal rescue that was the focus of the Animal Planet show Saved By The Barn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big animal silhouette with a smaller animal silhouette inside it is one of my top designer pet peeves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 In the Jags locker room. Other logos from around the Jacksonville area mostly breweries and restaurants with some media and others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
