The client chose their favorite logo design\u2014one that they really love\u2014leaving anywhere from three to ten great concepts that disappeared into our archives.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of reminds us of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_and_the_Island_of_Misfit_Toys\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Island of Misfit Toys<\/a>. Only there&#8217;s nothing wrong with these icons.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, our archive grew by more than another 100+ concepts. That\u2019s a lot of unused logos. And some of them are amazing.<\/p>\n<p>So we started taking many of the designs from the archive and adding them to the Logomaker design tool\u2014making them available for anyone to use.<\/p>\n<p>Today, when you search for a logo icon at Logomaker, you won\u2019t find clipart or stock images. Just thousands of icons designed especially for logo projects by a team of professional designers.<\/p>\n<p>And with so many great icons to choose from, you\u2019re certain to find an icon that\u2019s right for your next project or venture.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Since this article was originally posted, we are no longer associated with Logoworks, which closed, then reopened with completely new staff.
