A
great design is an important part of branding and promoting a blog.
Content may be king however the first bite is still with the eye and
the logo is the first thing many visitors look at when they visit a
site for the first time, whether they realise it or not. Be it an
emblem, picture, icon, sign or symbol, a great logo makes it easy for
visitors to immediately recognise your blog. The logo is also usually
used on banners, business cards, videos and other media too and is
therefore a vital part of promoting your blog.

Designers have a fantastic eye for detail and most are able to tell
why a logo is great or not. Unfortunately I am not a great designer
however I can immediately tell if I like a logo or not. As the famous
saying goes I don’t know much about art but I know what I like!

Which is why I thought it would be good to post what I consider to
be some of the best blog logos on the web. I hope these logos inspire
designers and I hope that it helps bloggers who are getting a logo
designed point their designer in the right direction. Enjoy

I hope you all enjoyed the list. I know I may have left some of your
favourite blogs out however my aim was to create a good mix in the
list, therefore a lot of great blog logos didn’t make it.

What’s your favourite blog logo? If it’s not on the list please feel
free to post a link to the blog in question. It will be interesting to
see what types of logos are the most popular.

100 Great Blog Logos
