Okay, I worked on this list at various times over the last couple of months, so some of the graphics will be outdated. However, I do expect that I will expand upon this list and add other sites on at a later date. There are plenty of quality design blogs out there, so if I missed your blog, it may get added on the next revision
Why not take a look at one of these Articles...

Thank you for the inclusion Andrew, it’s interesting to see them all side by side like this!
.-= Jacob Cass´s last blog ..“Make Beautiful Things” – Tips from Saul Bass =-.

@Jacob → No worries. Hope you’re doing well in NYC
09 Mar 2010 10:03 pm Andrew Kelsall
Great to compare all the logos side by side.
Some are terrific, some verging on terrible.
You know what would be really interesting – a poll to rank them

09 Mar 2010 10:03 pm Duane
@Duane → A pole would be interesting, but the idea behind the article is mainly to list the blogs. Their branding is present to add more depth to an otherwise “standard list”.
If I had a poll, I wouldn’t want the backlash over the “terrible logos” you mention
09 Mar 2010 10:03 pm Andrew Kelsall
I think what surprises me is if these people are blogging about quality design, they should be able to recognize what works (or doesn’t work) on their own sites / branding.

Just awesome sites, thanks for sharing!

Hi,
.. love the fact that you show the brand identity of each of these blogging sites. The comparison although is quite shocking, to be honest ;-P
But, a good fresh insight how to present a list of links.
And also thanks for sharing, some blogs are new to me. Cheers & Ciao …

Great to see a huge mixture of different design styles. Hopefully in the future, http://www.addtodesign.com will be added.

I’m trawling through design blogs at the moment, looking for some decent ones to add to my feeds – so thanks for the list! You’ve saved me some time.

Great list. And I must have visited at least 70% of them. Thank you for including me. The post must have been very time-consuming to make. Hope all’s well with you.

Great to see al these logos in one complete list – although I would love to be included, I think I’ll need to redesign my logo first.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Andrew, thanks a million for including Laughing Lion Design in this great list. Mine’s changed a *tiny* bit since the one featured here but it’s almost the same.
Thanks again

@Hian, Mathew, Marnie, ‘AG’, Gareth, Sneh & lukasz → Glad you found the list useful.
@Rob C → Yeah, took ages. Glad I didn’t do it all in one sitting, or it have taken me a good 24 hours, lol.
@Amy → Yeah, I see your point, but they must have their reasons…
@Gonzo → I found it quite interesting myself once I finally compiled the list and reviewed them all. There’s a whole range and spectrum of design ideas.
@Marco → There are at least 300 great design blogs on the web, but unfortunately, I’m not aware of them all – including yours
I’ve just reviewed your site, and it will be in the expanded list later on this year.
@Callum → Just reviewed yours too, although I had never stumbled across it before now. It will make the next revision
@Rob B → No worries, hope it helps awareness of your sites.
@Jennifer → I think I took a snapshot of your site a couple on month back. There’s a few outdated ones, but I will try update them on the next revision
10 Mar 2010 07:03 pm Andrew Kelsall
WOW…. great collection… I wish I could add one more in this list …

Alot of good logos here. But ALOT of bad ones too.

100 Fantastic Design Blogs…
Here is a fantastic list I have put together, showing 100 Design Blogs with their branding logos. They are shown in alphabetical order……
They got some incredible logos for their site. It looks fantastic. I wish I had one of these logos for my site. By the way Thanks.
05 Aug 2010 04:08 am Matt
Very good list Andrew
22 Aug 2010 10:08 am Garlak
Awesome list, Andrew! Tonnes to subscribe to now!

Great collection of design blogs with their logos, really great to see them layed out like this, and think that’s a great idea to add to this list in the future!
21 Oct 2010 12:10 am Craig
Thanks for the list Andrew – lots more for me to check out there!
02 Nov 2010 01:11 pm Jason Stone
Great and Fabulous Logo Collections!
14 Jan 2011 01:01 pm SmashingWall
Nice but why not highlight 10 your favorites or the best in your opinion, who is going to check 100 links? I know that most people run there where is more (probably they think more is better) but smaller lists are more practical.
