As far as this one goes, I think the icon works. But the company should be a serif font to match that of the icon and to abbreviate department is tacky. Spell it out. I think it communicates just fine. If you didn't know what Fedex was how would you know what it did? What's a fedex? This logo's name says it all, maybe in 10 years if it follows Fedex's lead it might be called Prodept. Fedex is only memorable now because of it's history as Federal Express. We all start somewhere.

I love the mark though. Pretty distinctive. Personally I’d prefer a different sans serif font for the text. I love the mark though. Pretty distinctive.

Whether it's so successful due to the huge marketing spend behind it, or because of the arrow caused by the negative space is another thing. Sujan, It is a great site. One of the more original ones out there. Raul,

Sujan,

It is a great site. One of the more original ones out there.

It has to be memorable. Nike doesnt say 'sports shoe', Apple doesnt say ipod or computer, Shell doesn't say oil, Tesco doesn't say supermarket. The Fedex logo is great, when you know about the arrow you dont forget it, it's a BONUS. Whether you read the p or d first doesnt matter. It's a simple memorable logo. I can draw it, describe it, it looks nice. Good post. i read the d before the p and honestly i dont see how it reflects what they do and who they are……

I am not much of a designer, but it is a nice, clean, simple look. Very professional. I like it quite a bit. I am not much of a designer, but it is a nice, clean, simple look. Very professional.
