Effective Company Logos

Logos serve to identify a company or brand. We were tasked to look up five logos that we deemed to be effective and explain why. Here are my top five.

The first being the apple that was bitten into. It was a clever approach to have the stem to be cut from where the current bite is. Not only does Apple use an apple for a logo, but it is a reoccurring theme in a variety of products, such as Macs, short for Macintosh, a type of an apple.



Funimation is a Japanese anime studio. The circle is red, which seems reflective of the nation's rising sun on their flag. There is an absence of straight horizontal and verticals; diagonals are known for being fun, and energetic, reflective of their anime. 


Gamestop, formally known as EB Games, has a rather simple logo which is just the words Game Stop, with "Stop" being written in red. The color red raises alert, while also being symbolic of the action of stopping.


Playstation uses a red P, with a tri-color S, leading to their products being referred to as PS_ for short.


Twitter, when defined is a mass chorus of tweets. What creature tweets, or at least what do most people think tweets? That would be a bird. The white bird on the soft blue background is fun, playful, whimsical even.

These logos are recognizable, with some of them being unchanged from over the years such as Apple and Playstation. They hold true to their identity.
