A Showcase of Clean Minimalist Logos

Oct 22, 2012Blog, Graphic, Guest posts

Welcome to our Showcase of Clean Minimalist Logos. A logo has to work incredibly hard. It has to advertise a company, give an idea of what the company does, introduce the company’s personality and stand out amongst the millions of other logos that compete for any one person’s attention. Many companies are finding that, in a crowded and noisy market, a clean, minimalist logo stands out better than anything else. Below is a showcase of ten such logos.

Kode Nu

Kode Nu is an app design studio in Los Angeles. This logo reflects the company’s coolness and focus on technology with the pixel-like boxes of colour, shaped to suggest the letter ‘K’.

Chatbox.fi

Chatbox is a Finnish company that provides a web-based customer service app. This logo combines a speech bubble with a 3D box effect, combining the two elements of the company’s name.

Ça C’est Gang

Ça C’est Gang is a French creative collective which sells t-shirts, amongst many other things. Their logo, called Mr Poke, reflects the urban, artistic background of the members of the collective. The logo is minimal because, although it is very detailed, all unnecessary elements, like a neck and eyes, are deleted.

Maak Media

Maak Media is a German web design company. Its logo doesn’t include any drawings or visual puns, but it does have a rounded typeface that makes it stand out.

Shelter

Shelter is a well-known charity that works on housing and helps homeless people get off the streets. The ‘H’ in the logo says it all, really.

Dreamten Studios

Virginia-based design and development studio Dreamten Studios has about as minimal a logo as you can get. The simple design is symmetrical, with few flourishes, but it still reflects the name and aesthetic of the company.

Sharktoast

This may be one of the most fun logos of all time. Sharktoast, a web design, hosting and development agency, has a logo that combines the fierceness of a shark and the unexpected whimsy of a piece of toast, giving a really good sense of the work ethic of the company.
