Logo design for The Wired Kayaker

Logo of the month #5
The logo design above, for Eight, is by Stylo Design, a creative agency based in Covent Garden, London. I was reminded of the above design when looking through this years’ Eulda (European Logo Design Annual) winners. One of the Eulda entries is shown below, for Eight, a business lounge bar, and it’s based upon the same idea, but with much less effect in my opinion.
