The art for art or designing for designers are just a few words that we could use to describe the process of creating a fashion logo design. Fashion is a key element for anyone with a sense of style and elegance and, in today's competitive world, fashion brands compete to get their clients attention. Even if we're not looking at the world known and famous fashion designers that have global recognition and set the trends in fashion, there are a certain characteristics that are common to fashion logo designs. Simplicity, glamour and style are the key features of fashion logo designs, and beyond everything they need to express, represent and differentiate the fashion artists and their creations.

We initiate with this post our Logo of the Month selection which is to give credit and appreciate the value of the best logo designs posted on The Logo Mix gallery each month. We strive to appreciate through this selection the logo designers work based on our visitors votes, the comments posted and The Logo Mix team input.

Even so, the winner logo design detached itself pretty easily from the rest of the short listed ones and became our first Logo of the Month.

Halloween is just around the corner and every big brand out there is decorating their logo.

We were impressed by the extensive imagination and the high level of details and we just thought that these logos were excellently executed. Have a look and maybe these creepy logo designs will inspire you for your Halloween costume this year. Boohoo!

Let's say you've just received the agreement for a logo design project from your client, you've received your down payment and your client is ready to start the project. Now what? First of all you need information. A logo design project means expressing graphically the essence of what your client's company is all about. Before you start designing, what type of information should you ask for? Here is a list of data you should never start you logo design project without.

What is a logo? Well, this might seem a redundant question. "I create logo designs on a daily basis, you might say... I know what a logo is!" But even so, sometimes it seems hard to put it in words and give a compelling definition. We can define a logo as being a distinctive symbol, unique, with character, that belongs and visually defines a company, object, person or service. But then, we have all those other words as mark, trademark, signature, identity, brand... What should we do with those and where do they fit, as sometimes those words are used to describe a logo?

Sometimes you need to play to get the creative juices flowing. Even the simplest idea  can give you a boost in the creative process especially when used to the potential.

A shape will always convey a message about the character of a logo and implicit the company, organization or person it represents. The shape is the essence of what we remember and a logo should involve a shape that is appropriate and memorable. Our brain loves to use shape to identify things, because it can do it very quickly.

Let's play a little game called "find the similarities". When it comes to logo design, this game should be hard, as originality and creative features and elements should be key to designing a logo.
