    These are greatly creative. That’s what a logo is all about and should be, a creative display of words and images that work to sell a product or service. I love how the images are integrated with the words, they all seem to work so well and look great.

    There is a company I see on the side of trucks some times called greatwide, but the left edge of the g and the right edge of the e are cut off a bit. Really brilliant I love it.

    The ED in UNPLUGGED looks mighty familiar. Looks like someone simply added Gianni Bortolotti’s Elettro Domestici logo to the text “unplugg”
