Inspirational Single Colour Logo Designs


Designing a logo that is memorable, original and creative is a tough task. Take away fancy colours, gradients and icons and it gets even tougher. A monochrome logo is forced to rely on the shapes, lines and space to convey it’s message which is a real art in itself.

We’ve been searching for examples of logos that work fantastically well with just a single colour. Despite the apparent initial simplicity of their designs you soon realise what skill it has taken to create something that works so well without complex colours and details.

Take a look at these fantastic single colour logos featured on www.logomoose.com below:

Awesome showcase!

I think the Fido one and the Families one are the two most clever.

I really like how H3O has their logo too.

Gives me a lot of inspiration. :)

Very nice collection. I visited logomoose.com and I saw many good logos. I found very interesting information on this website. I will keep coming back.

These are all great logo’s, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for featuring my logo…
Consider to credit designers with link to their websites, not just logo galleries.

26th Jan 2010

That’s a great collection. There are so many of the logos that are really creative but I think that Shout, Bioground and Gula with the cute Kuala bear are the best :)

17th Feb 2010

excellent collection!

27th Feb 2010

Killer Logos! I love the Lad-yy and Foot. Thanks for sharing

Really awesome stuff. Very Inspirational.

I love logos that read the same upside down as they do right side up. The Edge logo is fantastic.

19th Apr 2010

Ant, families, fido, the guilde of food writers, kingfish, foot, sleep records are my favorities. But the best one logo is families because it is clever, humor, simple and memorable.

1st Jun 2010

Great collection!

3rd Jun 2010

Ah, CodeFish is such a great idea :)

24th Jul 2010

some of the best logos in the world are single colours, microsoft for example!

They are some real nice logos, I have always thought that a simple logo is always better and much easier to recognise from a distance.

I do think code fish is a great idea.

Cool set of logos thanks for the post

Simple Designs are always the best! KISS! – Keep it simple stupid.

24th Oct 2010

Thanks for sharing such a nice collection.

26th Oct 2010

some fantastic designs there very very inspiring

5th Nov 2010

Love it. I’ve always admired logos that are simple but perfectly fulfil there purpose. I think any logo that can make you smile is always a good thing. Some of my favourites include the Codefish, Uptown Pens and the families logos as each of them in there own way has great wit and character about them. Some you could argue verge on Op Art with clever use of negative space etc. Overall a great collection of clever yet simple ideas that are sure to inspire.

7th Nov 2010

Great logo’s.

David.

love seeing great logos like these.

25th Jan 2011

At first I thought, how can a bunch of logos be inspirational. . .but this was spot on. I am inspired to go design. So many times a company wants a single color for branding, and from a printing perspective, it can save alot of money vs. full color. Awesome logos!

28th Mar 2011

Awesome Collection. Thanks for sharing…

Great collection thanks for sharing. I’ve not seen some of these before.

Like the families one, so simple but yet so effective. Nice inspiration to feed the mind!

When designing a website with the client wanting to have a logo I do sometimes come a little unstuck so this post is the perfect thing to give me some inspiration. I really like all of the logos and although really simple they work so well. I will next be looking at Stefan Kanchev, thanks for the this post.

29th Jun 2011

Some really eye catchy stuff on this website … I’ve got an idea or 2 from this site for new projects so this site has served its purpose :)

Thank you!

A business logo is a visual representation of our business and also important aspect of our business brand. Logo will stand for our business, which will suggest a positive message about our business. You have introduced really great character logos. It is good collection of simple and attractive logos.

30th Nov 2011

The Godiva Books logo is outstanding.. along with the pen nib and spoon logo. Amazing

13th Jan 2012

hello .. very great designs really good work
catch 5 is so good keep it up

19th Jan 2012

These are great – sometimes the best things are so simple!

23rd Jan 2012

All very cool, the –H30 Creative– stood out for me because of the splash effect on the zero, for me this made it seem like observing something happening instead of just a flat design.

Some good inspiration for single colour logo’s might be found in old world symbols from various countries.
