I appreciate the first “eight” logo, for many reasons- one of which is that the letters share the same x-height. The “8″ in the second logo seems like it wasn’t pushed far enough- it feels out of place compared to the e, i, h, & t.

Thanks for commenting, Eric, and for bringing me back to this post for the first time in a long time. Stylo Design did a great job on this one.

David,
I can do nothing but agree with you about the first ‘eight’. I’ve seen it before, but everytime I come across it I smile a little. It truely is a “why didn’t I think of that?”-moment. Using the numerical representation of the brand in every single letter of brand’s logotype is, for lack of a better term; awesome. As for the other logos; underwhelming at best, imho.

Sete,

Thanks for correcting my typo, and sorry for my lack of Portugese knowledge. Cheers for dropping in.

Vuelos,

Glad you like it too.

I actually like the first one, it looks more original and innovative…. which may has a fast impatct and catch attention.

Yeah, shift is a great studio here in Portugal (it’s said Portugese by the way), and they have been working very very nice.

That logo simply rocks in every aspect and something I really enjoy in most of well done logos is that they are subtile.

Don’t you love when you look at a logo and go like:

Hm. Nice typo, okay, it’s clean and interesting but doesn’t have “that” sparkle… and all of a sudden – WAIT! Is that?! UAU! – And they got that sparkle after all.

But well, we need more well done logos, I have to agree with Dache, 1st year of Eula was something…

The sparkle…

Regards,
Sete 7

I found the first year of EULDA in general so much better. I was extremely disapointed with their choices this year.
I also wonder on what the ratio of buying a logo review / having it in the book is.

I could read the first eight right away. Thought it was great. Then I looked at it closer and really saw it, and liked it even more.

I wish I had the kind of brain that worked that way!

The entry from Switzerland reminds me of the SuSE Linux logo.
