Pumpkin carving is a great afternoon activity during the autumn season and since Halloween is quickly approaching, it’s the time to get carving to display your creation on that enjoyable night. Pumpkin carving isn’t about just cutting out a face or your traditional jack-o-lantern anymore. Over the past few years, stencils for pumpkin carving have become a huge hit. After the the idea caught on, it seems many people have become creative and made stencils of their own, which include some popular logos!

It seems to be a given that President Obama’s logo would make it to pumpkin carving popularity. I’m sure many doorsteps will have this one on display this Halloween.

Mickey on a pumpkin in a common site around this time. Disney theme parks have their own Halloween celebration, in which their logo has a mickey face made out of pumpkins on advertisements for their attraction.

This carving required some skill, mostly because the frog’s hand is standing up on it’s own. I have attempted these kind of pumpkin carving designs and the unsupported piece of pumpkin always seems to sink in or collapse from the heat of the candle inside. I assumed it was the famous WB frog, isn’t it?

The Starbucks logo looks great this way and there are no actual cuts made into the pumpkin. It’s an interesting technique.

I think it’s scary that the Twitter site crashes so much that the image of the flying whale from their “over capacity” page is this well known that someone carved it into a pumpkin. You would think Twitter would have fixed that by now, considering how often it is used.

Out of dedication to all you bloggers out there, I am happy to the throw the wordpress logo into this mix. With so many great ideas, pumpkin carving takes a whole new turn this season, bringing so many famous logos to light. I can’t wait to see them all displayed! Happy Carving!

As the weather gets colder, the leaves begin to change color and that familiar brisk smell fills the air. Yep, it’s that time of year again! Autumn is upon us and the leaves are changing colors. Pumpkin picking and Halloween are nipping at our heels and as we prepare for this season of events, I thought it would be fun to share some interesting logo designs that are inspired by the fall.

Orange, red and yellow are such great, classic Autumn colors. They are bright and set a nice tone. When the colors are paired with a great leaf design, its makes a great logo!

Google has a tendency of changing their logo based on current situations and Autumn is no different. Above are my two favorite Autumn Google Logos. They have that great feel for the season. The fall is a great time of year, but like most things, it goes by too quickly, which means winter is just around the corner.
