Every year the creative minds – the designers – create awesome logo designs. You may think that I’m wrong saying ‘every year’, because every day are created hundred/thousands of new logos, but I’m not. Great logo designs take time and research and only a few great logo designs are created yearly.

This is my first post after revamping 7creative. In this post I’ll showcase 20 great logo designs of the last year – 2009. Choosing only 20 was very hard and I hope that I chosen good. If not, you can add your choices in comments.

1. MyFonts – You can notice the hand, right? The font was very wise-chosen. It makes you think about typefaces.

2. City of Melbourne – Simply beautiful. The wide range of M designs makes this logo really good.

3. Ed’s Electric – Impossible not to think “Electric” when you see this logo. Incorporating also the “E” is brilliant.

4. Infinite Love – You can guess the brand name only looking to the icon.

5. WineKingdom – Very robust and powerful logo design.

6. killed Productions – My favorite logo design of the year.

7. EcoGive – One of the best eco logo designs.

8. Horror Films – Do you see the scarry face or the movie roll?

9. Elefont – Great use of the negative space.

10. inKing – A lot of “ink” logos were created in 2009.

11. Michael Jackson – Hard to forget his style.

12. Coffee – One of the most discussed logos of the year.

13. Twins – Yes, they are two.

14. Lochness – I see water and danger when I look at this logo design. That was the goal too.

15. Foot – Why the left one?

16. quitter – Hard not to think at Twitter when you see it.

17. Web Girls – Or click girls, how you want to say.

18. MusiKings – Best audio industry logo design.

19. Fly – Simply fly.

20. PhotoChick – This logo was created by me. Logo design is one of my favorite parts of the design industry. If you like the logo you can buy it at BrandStack.
