I am probably going to get a lot of flak for the title of this post, but hold your horses. In this case, I mean it quite literally. Because, today I am showcasing some amazing logos that have monkeys in them. There are all kinds .. shy ones, rebellious ones, funny ones, cute ones, geeky ones and corporate ones. I’ve also thrown in some angry monkeys, some evil monkeys and even a whistling primate for good measure. Who would’ve thought that monkeys would make such great logos. I hope that didn’t come out all wrong!

Logos that are based around animals are not only fun to create but great to look at too. Because each animal illustration is very unique, they tend to stick in your head longer than your average logo based on an inanimate object. A few months ago when I was researching before making my Whistling Monkey logo, there were not as many primate brands out there as there are now. Most definitely, using monkeys in brands is on the rise. They usually bring a touch of humor to an otherwise formal logo or a degree of swanky urban class if designed in a dark abstract manner for street brands, entertainment and fashion. As they become more popular, the trend catches on and we are sure to see many more monkey businesses cropping up.
