24 excellent black and white logos

Posted on Monday, July 13th, 2009

Most logo designers start their design process by creating sketches in black and white. They do this to see the logo in it’s purest form. If it looks perfect in black and white there’s mostly no need to add any color to it. Here are 24 of the best examples of pure logos in black and white:

    I think all of them are brilliant. Invisible agents and families are really good! Thanks for the roundup of such outstanding work.

    Some real creative logos here. I like the simple elegance of black and white, but so far only one of my logo clients (in years) choose to just stick with just back and white logo design. Personally I would have liked to have kept more logos to one color.
