This is an overview on the ideas behind creating a creative logo, in the coming weeks I will be making another tutorial on how to actually build a site logo looking at many aspects of other famous logos.
I recommend having a read of the smashing book 2 which is an amazing and in-depth read into the many different elements of design and development.
View the book here:https://shop.smashingmagazine.com/smashing-book-2-intl.html
All logo images where sourced from http://www.logofaves.com where a fantastic collection of logo inspiration is held.
