Famous Logos and Their (Unimaginable) Costs

While this collection of famous logos and their costs by StockLogos does seem pretty legit, we can’t quite believe the costs associated with them. For example, the BP logo costs $211 million, while the Accenture logo is priced at $100 million. How does that happen?

Brand Logos From the Consumer Angle

More Honesty for Brand Logos

We have previously seen a tale of a fabled world where brand logos were honest. That isn’t quite going to happen anywhere ever in this world, but we do find some recluse in the work of Viktor Hertz. This second set of logos follows the theme set by the first, and puts them all in [...]

Star Wars Episode VII: Brand Wars

Working on a Star Wars theme, artist Barn Bocock created this series entitled “Brand Wars.” Brands battling it out like the empire and the rebels? Yes, please.

Paris landmarks re-created with brand logos

Artist Risto-Jussi Isopahkala‘s project Logo Tourist goes through cityscapes and famous Parisian landmarks, re-creating these well known places in brand logos.

Created by artist Viktor Hertz, this set called “Honest Logos” shows what brand logos actually stand for, once you strip them off their shine and [...]
