With stars, stripes and a celebration of freedom, July 4th sets the true start of summer. Who can resist a cookout or pool party on this glorious day? With the 4th approaching so quickly, I know all of America is looking forward to the holiday weekend and an extra day off of work. In the spirit of the holiday and my own excitement for the upcoming parties, I decided to search for some logo inspiration that will put anyone in the mood to start singing the “star spangled banner.”

Simple, but brilliant. Obviously when you think of Independence day, you think of a flag and the red, white and blue color scheme. This logo represents the freedom of the 4th and flows graciously into the lettering.

I enjoyed this one as a great play off the star design. It’s more then just a simple star, it takes the concept a step further and gains a bit of flair. This design is still is very patriotic and has a more 3 dimensional look to it. I found it to be a really creative way to go.

I like the fireworks on this one. It is a nice, colorful edition to an otherwise common design. The fireworks concept is fun to play around with since fireworks can be formed into any shape, they give a designer the chance to get really creative.

Google is great for their ever changing logos. They’ve had many 4th of July editions over the years, but this one was most classy and festive.

Independence day was a great moment in American history and continues to be as we celebrate it each year. It’s a great way to start an exciting summer break with a bang and some fireworks. Happy 4th of July!!!
