Most Recognised Logos

Here is a collage of the most recognised logos. Colour and simplicity seem to me be the importance and the fundamental reason that makes these logos a success

Matrix Logo

Here is the Matrix Logo, which I felt is iconic also because of its design. Despite of it being filled with a host of numbers, letters and symbols the design is still very simple. It only has 3 main colours (Black, Green and White)

Final Fantasy Logo

Here is a range of Final Fantasy Logos taken from their game series. You can see that they are very consistent in terms of font colour and style. the only thing that changes is the image behind the text, and this is because these are images of the main characters for that particular game. The soft tones and simplistic images make it very appealing, and because of their consistency, it is immediately identifiable to the eye. Again, simplicity here is the main factor which makes this games logo a success.

Street Fighter Logo

Here are 2 examples of the Street Fighter logo. One for Street Fighter 2 and the other for Street Fighter 4. You can see there is a clear difference between the two as they were created many years apart. I personally prefer the Street Fighter 2 as it is iconic and personally to me it reminds me of my childhood as I used to play this game whilst I was still in primary school. The Street Fighter 4 logo, doesn't look as appealing to me, as it just looks as if the designers are trying too hard to impress, and this tells me that many time especially with logos, simplicity is best
