35 Stunning Black and White Logos

I love logos in their purest form.They are so sleek and clean.

It’s usually best to design a logo in black and white before adding color just to focus completely on the design. Logos that look good in black and white are more likely to look right on promotional items, such as these from Quality Logo Products.

Enjoy! They are all handpicked :)

one of the logo making rules – if it works in just one colour, it’s good and will work in multi-coloured version as well. if it does not work in one colour – make a new one!

“Egg in Spoon” icon is really impressive!!! The designer could use the “e” of egg and draw the egg and the spoon. It is a beautiful concept. It is just a shame we don’t notice it at first.

Black and white, the way it should be done. No gradients and no color result in some timeless works. This is an amazing arsenal of design. Thank you for bringing it to the light of day.

I’m now officially awestruck by the simplicity of “mill” by north design. You make me want to be a better designer.

Thank you.
