Logo Collection

26 Type Based Logo Designs – Words at Play!

(Last Updated January 2025)

Bored of the usual clichéd logo designs? So am I! That’s why I decided to hunt for some inspirational and literal designs. Sounds different already? They are.

Most of us as designers don’t know the secrets to designing a real estate logo and think that a house symbol is necessary or that a shoe company must have a shoe in the logo. What if some of us are creative enough to create meaning out of the company’s name itself?

The collection I have here today includes twenty six logos that are original, unique and literal to the core. These logos focus largely on typography and symbols. The designers that have created these type based logo designs have used fonts in a creative way, making the company name stand out in a simple way.
