A lion roaring through a loop of a film, a mountain peak ringed by stars or Lady Liberty holding her torch aloft are few emblems, which speak about the significance of logos for Hollywood. Nowadays all the corporations, products, services, agencies and other entities use a sign or emblem as their logo to achieve a unique identity. A logo is not just an image; it is the embodiment of an organization. For some seventy years, these logos or trademarks have introduced audiences to the cinematic delights to follow.

Last month a poll was held on Logoblog, to find out which of the top Hollywood studio logo is more captivating and appealing for the viewers. Our selection comprised of some of the most pioneering logos of Hollywood industry such as Miramax, Paramount, Dreamworks, Disney, Columbia, MGM and Warner Bros.

Well, the competition has been very tough among these big names of Hollywood. Dreamworks and Disney being the oldest surviving Hollywood film company logo, have a tie each getting 21% of total votes. Paramount logo with 19% and MGM with 14% of votes also prove their fame among audience. Followed by Miramax, Columbia and Warner Bros each getting 4%, 7% and 13% votes, respectively.

Dreamworks Logo is an artistic display of glamor, style and sophistication while the impudent Disney logo with a Mickey Mouse holding the clapboard, is a revolutionary emblem in itself. Both the logos has indeed been redesigned a number of times, but did not loose their effectiveness and popularity. Being the most chic, friendly and modern logos of Hollywood industry they are recognized worldwide.

The results show your interest for the polls on our LogoBlog is really hotting up, and I want to thank everyone who has voted on the previous categories.

Congratulations to the Dreamworks Logo and Disney Logo for winning the LogoBlog Poll!

Writing and publishing is a lucrative and demanding job. Not only it is a powerful medium through which perceptions can be changed, but also, it can be a delightful source for making people entertained and relaxed. But with so many publishing houses and companies existing in the markets worldwide, not to mention the availability of countless books each year, book lovers tend to overlook an important aspect of a book, and i.e. the publisher’s logos. This particular element, the publisher’s logo, is an imperative symbol used in books by publishing houses and companies to make sure that none pirate or re-distribute the published work. It is also employed to safeguard the company’s credibility and books’ authority in the market. Hence, last poll at LogoBlog focused on the publisher’s logos that appear expressive as well as attractive.

Our selection of such logos comprised of Bloomsbury, Random House, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Barnes & Nobles and Scholastic logos. The fact that these publishing houses and companies are some of the biggest in the world, and also, many people are acquainted with their logos made us short list them.

As for the results, Bloomsbury came first in the list by getting 24% of the total votes (it seems Harry Potter did play its magic for Bloomsbury). Next in line, we have a tie between Harper Collins and Barnes & Nobles each having 20% votes; followed by Scholastic, Random House and Simon & Schuster each getting 16%, 12% and 8% votes, respectively.

The Bloomsbury logo is an artistic representation of a feminine figure shooting an arrow. The bow in the Bloomsbury logo depicts the letter ‘B’, obviously referring to Bloomsburg and the leaping figure in the logo can be related to the forward thinking and the expansion of the company.

So, congratulations to the Bloomsbury logo for winning the LogoBlog Poll.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc is an independent publishing house based in London, UK famous for its literary novels like Harry Potter series.

Logo is one the most important elements of the brand identity of any company. It is the image of a company’s service or its product. It is also the level of quality or the experience one had with a particular brand. In the ancient times, logo designs were merely used as initial letters to represent a person or place for use on stationary or signs. Later, their importance grew to such an extent that they were then used as trademarks by merchants and then became corporate identities for organizations in order to accomplish marketing, branding and identity goals in the market.

In the same regard, LogoBlog tested the fervor of its visitors and readers with a poll question recently. We asked our readers if logos will ever become extinct.

According to the results, 12% of Logoblog visitors think that logos will get extinct in the future while 5% are uncertain. There is also a bunch of people (3% of total poll results) who had no idea about the question! (Welcome to the world of ignorance!)

Most importantly (and to my content…) 80% of the audience voted that logos will never become extinct. (Thank you very much!)

The results show that logos will never lose their value and significance in the coming time. Alongside the brand or entity’s name or in the exact form of it, there would always be an image in the name of a ‘logo’. Many cheers to the ever-evolving LOGO!

Over a century now, business entities have made every possible effort to demonstrate technological breakthroughs in their respective logos. Compaq did it by revamping its old logo to a more modern and futuristic design to compliment its innovative, hi-tech nature. Fiat followed the trend and changed its existing logo with a ‘modern modification’ to adorn its new range of cars.

Last week our choice was a bunch of excellent logos depicting technology, innovation and invention - comprising of IBM logo, Intel logo, Microsoft logo, Apple logo, HP logo and Oracle logo.

Well, the results are in and Apple logo emerged as the poll’s winner with 56% of total votes. Second in line is the IBM logo with 16% of votes, followed by Intel logo with 13% votes. There was a tie between Microsoft and Oracle logos, each getting 6% of total votes. And HP logo came last with just 3% votes (boOoOo!).

Apple logo expresses the technological breakthroughs of the company with its modern, friendly and approachable identity mark. It’s so powerful that it doesn’t need a name or a slogan to introduce itself as the Apple company emblem, recognized worldwide by millions as the Apple logo.

Congratulations to the Apple logo for winning the LogoBlog Poll!

Many logos encompass the element of speed in them to represent innovation, constant evolution, movement and rapid development in their respective areas. Last week’s LogoBlog poll focused on the logos that fully correspond to speed, in terms of the qualities mentioned above, or the ones which ‘translate speed at the maximum’.

With the availability of countless logos that symbolize speed, we narrowed down our choices to Superman Logo, Nike Logo, Jaguar Logo, FedEx Logo and Boeing Logo, each representing ‘speed’ to the full in their different categories.

As anticipated, Nike logo was the clear champion by gaining 48% of the total votes. Following down the line, Jaguar logo won the second place by receiving 22% votes, whereas Superman logo and Boeing logo each received 11% and FedEx received 7% of the votes.

The imperial brand image of Nike logo clearly reflects speed, innovation and technology, and has been stamped into the minds of people for a very long time. This makes Nike logo the apparent winner of last week’s LogoBlog Poll.

Congratulations Nike, for winning the LogoBlog poll.

Keep reading, Adios!
