Usually, at the end of year, evaluations, plans, tops or analyses are made and, as in any field, these are also made in the one of logo design. To analyze your own activity or the one of a company, it is quite simple to sort out information, in order to realize something concrete and in accordance with reality. Furthermore, a good analysis of one’s previous activity can tremendously contribute to the fulfillment of a plan in the following year.

This year has been a very good one for logo designers, the biggest proof being represented by the increased number of logos posted in diverse website galleries or on websites that allow the presentation of personal artworks. This richness is determined by the fact that the public has become more aware that a logo is a necessary thing in the making of a successful brand but also by the launching of HTML5 and CSS3, bringing a breath of fresh air in design and development. Making a top with the most interesting and beautiful logos of 2010 is a very difficult job, especially because there is an impressive number of special accomplishments, not to mention the numerous websites where logo designers can present their works of art but also because of the author’s subjectivity.

Here, you will find the best logos of 2010 and it is very probable to have omitted logos which are at least as interesting but these which are presented here are 100% impressive. I genuinely appreciate any link that sends the person clicking on it to a very beautiful logo (please use the comment box for that). I hope that you will enjoy yourself!

The purpose of a company logo is to represent the company’s products, services, and business philosophy in a single image. Quite often a company’s logo is the first aspect of the company a consumer encounters, and therefore creates a lasting impression in the consumer’s mind. For this reason, it is imperative that a company’s logo provides an accurate representation of the services and products it offers. It is also important for the logo to be physically appealing to the company’s target consumer base.

For example, consider the Gerber baby logo:

While the color of the logo has changed over time, the essential design—featuring an appealing portrait-style picture in a circular frame—has remained the same, and continues to be effective. The reason for the success of this particular logo has to do with its visual appeal to the current or expecting mothers that make up Gerber’s target consumer base. A logo with sharp lines and a crying baby would hardly be as effective as the featured circular portrait of a happy baby.

Now consider the evolution of the Firefox search engine logo, as shown below:

While the original Firebird logo was somewhat cartoonish and even a bit threatening, the original Firebox logo—which emerged at the same time the search engine changed its name—draws the viewer in and resembles the circular motion signally the loading of a web page. Nonetheless, the coloring of this original Firefox logo is somewhat dark and potentially foreboding, whereas the current Firefox logo is lighter and brighter, and suggestive of optimism. This evolving shift from dark to light is one of the more prominent logo trends of 2010.
