Ricks Picks March 2015 CoverOur Community Manager shares his favorite logo designs from the month of March. You’ll see well designed logos with character, meaning, and style. 

March was a very creative month at 48hourslogo.com. I’ve gotta say up top that I’m am very proud of the work from our Design Community. There were many highly artistic, well-designed logos produced last month. I can feel the excitement in my chest after going through the Testimonial Portfolio like this.

With “Rick’s Picks” I share my favorite logo designs from a particular month. I want to highlight the great work being done. Give a pat on the back to designers that are raising the bar. Inspire our customers by the range of design that can be achieved on our website. I’ve specifically chosen logos that have character, depth in meaning, or are shining examples of their specific style.

There are many designs to review each month. If someone did not make the list I do mean to imply that that are not worthy or talented. Some designs are simply more effective than others. Robert California (James Spader) from the US version of The Office summed up my feelings pretty well, I think.
“Let me tell you some things I find productive. Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement. Honesty. I’ll tell you some thing I find unproductive. Constantly worrying about where you stand based on inscrutible social cues, and then inevitably reframing it all in a reassuring way so that you can get to sleep at night. No, I do not believe in that at all. If I invited you to lunch, I think you’re a winner. If I didn’t I don’t. But I just met you all. Life is long, opinons change. Winners, prove me right. Losers, prove me wrong.” -Robert California, watch here.

So if you are a designer who made the list, congratulations! Prove me right that you’re genuinely talented and not just a one-hit wonder. If you didn’t make the list, it’s nothing personal, prove me wrong next month.

RICK’S FAVORITE LOGO DESIGNS FROM MARCH 

Shaggy Dog Market by Ingepro
The shaggy dog illustration is adorable and easily to see. Plus I love how the top of the border is offset slightly.

Excellent illustration, very kid friendly. The bandana, hat, wood sign, font and star are all western themes that combine well.

A lot of elements at play here, but the gradient from purple to orange is not overused. Everything falls into place nicely.

This is so interesting because it’s not symmetrical! It could have been, maybe should have been, but it’s not and it works so well!
