Get Inspired By Brands With Creative Typography"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wordmark logos often earn a reputation for being too dull. The problem happens when you choose an all-too-common logo font without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/04\/how-to-find-your-unique-selling-position-small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">adding a unique touch to distinguish your brand<\/a>. The end result is a stale, generic design that looks just like 50 other business logos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to build a memorable brand, be willing to take risks and come up with something truly one-of-a-kind. Not sure where to begin? Many companies ditch standard typefaces and draw up custom typography to capture the qualities of their brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand-drawn logos offer a chance to inject personality into your wordmark and win over new customers. You don&#8217;t have to be an experienced artist to brainstorm great ideas. Simply grab a pen and paper to sketch interesting letterforms that make a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/25\/borrowing-inspiration-for-your-unique-logo-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">finding logo inspiration<\/a>, take a look at clever techniques the pros use to design an unforgettable wordmark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Most Creative Hand-Drawn Logo Designs<\/h2>\n<h3>Signature Styles<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ogily.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9889\" alt=\"Ogily Scripted Text Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ogily.gif\" width=\"93\" height=\"93\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/NICOLE_MILLER_HIGH-RES.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9888 alignnone\" alt=\"Nicole Miller Scripted Text Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/NICOLE_MILLER_HIGH-RES.jpg\" width=\"172\" height=\"49\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your handwriting make you cringe? You aren&#8217;t alone. Yet, from a design perspective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/In-what-cases-is-a-good-idea-for-an-individual-to-use-his-own-handwritten-signature-as-part-of-his-personal-logo-design\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">using a signature as a logo<\/a> is an easy way to make your mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No one has your name or writes exactly like you, so you&#8217;re less likely to encounter a brand with the same logo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your signature bold and eccentric? That&#8217;s even better. Subtle flourishes can come to define your logo and make it memorable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tall stems on the letters &#8220;N&#8221; and &#8220;M&#8221; create instant recognition in the Nicole Miller fashion logo. The lowercase letters and the ascending shape formed by the three &#8220;Ls&#8221; also creates visual balance across the whole design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, marketing firm Ogilvy and Mather uses a simpler scrawl. The authentic writing looks like the work of a real person, which is exactly the impact you want it to have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind, a signature logo doesn&#8217;t have to perfectly mimic your natural cursive. Use your writing style as a starting point, and look for ways to make the final design more striking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Abstract Styles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Image1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9890\" alt=\"Mossimo Text Icon Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Image1.jpg\" width=\"263\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/uta_logo_rgb_p111013201729.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9891\" alt=\"United Talent Agency Initial Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/uta_logo_rgb_p111013201729.png\" width=\"184\" height=\"165\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands that aren&#8217;t afraid to go against the grain can make an impact with an abstract hand-drawn logo. Here&#8217;s where your personal brand of chicken scratch might just come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abstract styles transform the shape and readability of familiar letterforms, as in the Mossimo fashion logo. The design is a jumble of graphic letters in irregular shapes and sizes, similar to a scribble. Artistic value is more important than legibility, as long as the wordmark is recognizable overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, an abstract <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/logo-design\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">logo design<\/a> doesn&#8217;t have to be extreme. In the United Talent Agency logo, the letters are joined together in an unexpected way and finished with a brushstroke texture. The unembellished monogram is fitting for a company that hunts for raw talent to cultivate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Casual Styles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2000px-The_Simpsons_Logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9892\" alt=\"The Simpsons Text Based Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2000px-The_Simpsons_Logo.png\" width=\"268\" height=\"119\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/our-bags-2dd937cb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9893\" alt=\"Casual Text Logo for nuts.com displayed on a variety of packaging bag sizes\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/our-bags-2dd937cb.jpg\" width=\"212\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Virgin_NASA_logo-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9894\" alt=\"Red Virgin Records Scripted Text Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Virgin_NASA_logo-scaled.jpg\" width=\"173\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrating imperfection is one way to show the authenticity behind your brand. While many hand-drawn logos are sharp and refined, some of the best designs stand out because of their unpolished appearance. Casual writing is carefree and relatable, making it ideal for representing fun, youthful, or humorous brands. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture the raw, wispy edges on the Virgin Group wordmark inspired by spray painting. Right away, founder Richard Branson loved the edgy logo when a young designer drew it on a napkin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first version featured shaky lines of varying thicknesses, much like the spreading and splotching that occurs with ink. Both designs showcase the naturalistic flaws of everyday writing, which makes the mark distinct and recognizable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design studio Pentagram took a similar approach to the updated logo for Nuts.com. Designer Michael Bierut created an entire hand-drawn alphabet to embody the laid-back style of the brand. The logo may look crude at first glance, but the fun, zany style grabs attention on product packaging. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Script Styles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/mailchimp-logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9896\" alt=\"MailChimp Monkey Icon and Scripted Text Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/mailchimp-logo.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cadbury_logo-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9897\" alt=\"Cadbury Scripted Cursive Text Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cadbury_logo-1.png\" width=\"269\" height=\"114\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/real_kelloggs-logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9898\" alt=\"Kellogs Scripted Text Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/real_kelloggs-logo.png\" width=\"275\" height=\"98\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Script typography is a popular choice in custom logo design because the unique alphabet becomes synonymous with the brand. Can you imagine a box of Corn Flakes or Fruit Loops without the famous Kellogg&#8217;s wordmark?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the company&#8217;s early days, William Kellogg placed his real signature on every box to mark it as a genuine product. His friendly signature became the basis for the red stylized script that has been used for more than a century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike a signature logo, a script typeface contains an entire collection of glyphs, or letters, with shared <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/15\/the-4-basic-design-elements-of-a-great-business-logo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design elements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With today&#8217;s advanced design tools, you can easily create a hand-drawn design and digitize it for use as a logo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Script styles are modeled after classic cursive, but you can personalize individual letters to create a custom alphabet. Play around with connected scripts, which are joined by continuous lines, and unconnected scripts with freestanding letters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Whimsical Styles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jim_tv_logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9903\" alt=\"Jim TV Orange Script Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jim_tv_logo.png\" width=\"282\" height=\"129\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/mrcoffee.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9904\" alt=\"Mr. Coffee Scripted Text Logo Design \" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/mrcoffee.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A whimsical brand needs a playful logo that exudes character.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With whimsical wordmarks, you can let your imagination run wild as much or as little as you like. Try pairing upper- and lowercase letters or letters of different sizes. You can also experiment with the shape and orientation of some letters to create natural focal points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s the first thing you notice about the bright orange wordmark for the Finnish TV network Jim? The logo has a subtle sense of symmetry because the letter &#8220;J&#8221; is leaning away from the rest of the word. With that small change in orientation, the &#8220;J&#8221; mirrors the tail on the letter &#8220;M&#8221; and the tittle mark over the &#8220;I.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Graphic Styles<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sly-Fox-Brewing-Co.-logo-BeerPulse.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9905\" alt=\"Sly Fox Brewing Scripted Text Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sly-Fox-Brewing-Co.-logo-BeerPulse.jpg\" width=\"177\" height=\"108\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ANL_logo_header.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9902\" alt=\"Aardman Nathan Love Text Based Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ANL_logo_header.jpg\" width=\"308\" height=\"116\" \/><\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2000px-Coca-Cola_logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9900\" alt=\"Coca Cola Script Based Logo Design\" src=\"https:\/\/startwp.logomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2000px-Coca-Cola_logo.png\" width=\"330\" height=\"109\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t be afraid to make a logo that&#8217;s graphic and unconventional. Graphic styles tend to use bold lettering with a dynamic element of motion and texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s a reason why Coca-Cola has successfully used the same hand-drawn style for 130 years. The scrolling stems and overlapping loops are so energetic and festive that they make you want to smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The company&#8217;s bookkeeper Frank M. Robinson developed a custom version of Spencerian script for this famous wordmark. A century later, it&#8217;s still one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/blog\/2018\/05\/15\/20-logos-that-are-still-around-after-20-years\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most recognized logos in the world<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make your own graphic logo, think of ways to incorporate your brand characteristics into the letter forms. SlyFox Brewing Company made a smart redesign by crafting letters stylized as fox tails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another technique is to use textures that resemble drawings from common art and writing tools, such as paintbrushes or pen sketches. The finished product should jump off the page and grab attention without relying on three-dimensional elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Start Sketching Logo Ideas<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experimentation is the most effective way to come up with an exciting hand-drawn logo. Sketch different variations side by side, so you can figure out which elements do or don&#8217;t work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try not to obsess over creating something perfect. The more you draw, the easier it will be to spot design details that pair well together. When you&#8217;re finished, you&#8217;ll have a one-of-a-kind wordmark that is 100 percent made for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for a wordmark logo? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logomaker.com\">Make a logo<\/a> with our easy-to-use logo design tools!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wordmark logos often earn a reputation for being too dull.
