HI Andrew

Your Blog is awesome. I really like to see your blog along with logos. Your logos express your creativity. Best of luck…..

Brilliant post – I love the TravelLodge one too… you know if you broke that logo down into little pieces, you’d pretty much be able to know what it was with any of those little bits. That’s brilliant branding!

No worries David. I can see where you’re coming from regarding the Travelodge Logo, but I feel it would still ‘work’ in B+W. However, that said, the whole mood of the logos’ icon may be lost. The jury is out…

Hi again, Andrew.

Had to make a comment about the Travel Lodge logo. I don’t feel the graduations are doing it any favours, and would like to see how it works as flat art (e.g. for use on uniforms).

Nice to get a little insight into your personal life, with the first two photos (I realise this is an old post, and I’m sure I caught it before, so not sure why I didn’t comment back then).

Andrew, thank you for your blog post on logos. Logo has to deliver a message of what the company is all about. I liked the DPD logo, it really sends strong message across – logistics.

@inspirationbit
No problem Vivien, I’m always finding interesting blogs out there just from interesting-looking links, so I like to do the same.

And yeah, it was a really nice yard, house, motor-home in the drive and outdoor Plasma TV…pitty it wasn’t my own home though

@ Richard
The DPD logo just needs taking a stage further, or a slight redesign, then it would be perfect.

Lol, my Irish friend Martin is going to hunt me down for that one! BTW, congrats on the David Airey post mention…

I’ve seen the DPD logo quite a few times too, and I love the bold lines and sharp corners; shame, as you say, that it’s unbalanced.

Isn’t it sacrilege to drink something that isn’t Guinness from a Guinness glass?!

Thanks for the link love, Andrew. It’s nice to see a different take on logos that we come across in our daily lives.

Looks like you had a great BBQ there really like the yard: the brick walls and the slate… looks very cosy

@ Phil
I agree with you there, anyone who drives down the motorway will diffinatey be influenced by the vast array of logo Designs out there We as designers, though, are both influenced, but intriqued by the designs. I can’t help analizing every logoI see.

Thanks for the compliment about my site.

@Aaron Russell
Thanks. Hope all goes well on your journey, and keep your eyes on the road rather that the designs out there

Hey Andrew, thanks for linking through to me

A nice addition to the collection of logos that this little meme has brought. I’ll be off down the motorway tomorrow on my way to Gatwick, so I’ll be looking out for logos too (as well as cars and other driving-related hazards).

Interesting take on logo recognition on motorways. Most people do not realize how they are influenced. Like big poles having the Golden M of McDonald’s on top and leading people to take the next exit, because they felt hungry “anyway.”

Great site you have.

No problem Sander.

The Travelodge is a great logo, I do believe this is a re-design also. I bet it’s done wonders for their business!

Thanks for stopping by…
