Garamond<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Claude Garamond and Jean Jannon designed this timeless typeface in the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century. Many of the logo design fonts that we see today are iterations of this font.<\/p>\n<p>This serif font is very expressive, and so it can be used in a playful context as well as in a sophisticated manner. No wonder Apple used it in its early days for branding purposes. American Eagle also uses this font for its logo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AmericanEagle-Logo.png\" alt=\"AmericanEagle-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AmericanEagle-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AmericanEagle-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Brandon Grotesque<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This logo design font is a bit different from other sans-serifs because of its low x-height. This unique feature gives this typeface certain compactness and that is why it is very popular with modern label designs which require stylish packaging. The comedy central logo used this font.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/ComedyCentral-Logo.png\" alt=\"ComedyCentral-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/ComedyCentral-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/ComedyCentral-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><strong>3. Proxima Nova<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Proxima Nova font bridges the gap between fonts like Futura and Akzidenz-Grotesk. This typeface creates a perfect balance between classic\u00a0geometry and modern proportions and is suitable for you if your business is connected with social media or if it has a wide internet presence. It is used by\u00a0major companies like Spotify and Twitter.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Spotify-Logo.png\" alt=\"Spotify-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Spotify-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Spotify-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>4. Neo Sans<\/h3>\n<p>Neo Sans was one of the first logo designing fonts to use sans-serif typefaces with curved corners. By using this technique, the intensity of the font is diminished, and this creates an approachable, friendly vibe that is evident and organized at the same time. This logo font was made famous by Intel.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Intel-Logo.png\" alt=\"Intel-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Intel-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Intel-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>5. Horizon<\/h3>\n<p>This logo design font is mostly used for science fiction based futuristic brands such as the \u201cStar Trek\u201d series. Surprisingly, Horizon font was also used in the film \u201cStar Trek: Into Darkness\u201d. This typeface has sharp and unexpected angles, and that is what gives it a space-age look.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/logo-design-order.php?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4491 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LDTG003.gif\" alt=\"Order Logo Today GIF\" width=\"720\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. FF Meta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This font for logos is strongly related to Helvetica. Whereas Helvetica is a bit rigid, FF Meta is curved and fluid. Many people even consider this logo designing font as the \u201cHelvetica of the 90s\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the bends of this typeface are extraordinary, a visual rhythm can be observed when you scan this font with your own eyes. Owing to its similarity to Helvetica, the FF Meta is\u00a0used in the Herman Miller logo and the Weather Channel logo.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HermanMiller-Logo.png\" alt=\"HermanMiller-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HermanMiller-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HermanMiller-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>7. Frutiger<\/h3>\n<p>Adrian Frutiger designed this multi-purpose logo design font so as to be used for any purpose. It reads well in both small and large applications. Owing to its utilitarian nature, this font has been used on Swiss passports since 1985.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. Helvetica<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the 70s and 80s, Helvetica was licensed to Xerox, Adobe and Apple and there has been no looking back since then.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Helvetica has over the years gained international fame, as shown\u00a0in the widespread\u00a0industry-wide usage above! This is because: &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The typeface is straightforward\u00a0and utilitarian.<\/li>\n<li>There is a quirky touch as well \u2014 like\u00a0the rounded square tail of the \u201cR\u201d, the narrow \u201ct\u201d and \u201cf\u201d, and the bracketed top flag of the \u201c1\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The plus point of this logo font\u00a0is that it feels familiar to new customers as well as to seasoned design observers.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Lufthansa.png\" alt=\"Lufthansa-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Lufthansa.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Lufthansa-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>9. Univers<\/h3>\n<p>The Univers font logo includes\u00a0a wide array of weights, widths and positions. This typeface can be described as having \u201cvisual sensitivity between thick and thin strokes\u201d and at the same time avoiding perfect geometry. The eBay logo designed with this logo font has an international and\u00a0utilitarian appeal.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/eBay-Logo.png\" alt=\"eBay-Logo\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/eBay-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/eBay-Logo-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>10. Futura<\/h3>\n<p>Futura is often regarded as the most successful and most used logo design font of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. This typeface originated in Germany and is reflective of the radical artistic experimentation going around in Germany in 1927.<\/p>\n<p>It is a classic sans-serif with unusual geometric letterforms that emanate an optimistic modernism. Various successful brands, like FedEx and Swissair have used this modern logo font to build strong identities.

Didot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before Didot became\u00a0popular as a typeface, it was the name of\u00a0a very well-known family consisting of French printers, punch cutters and publishers. They designed\u00a0multiple versions of Didot, one of which was taken up by Giorgio Armani for its logo.<\/p>\n<p>This mature and classy font\u00a0for logo design is most commonly seen in the world of fashion and works best when used with\u00a0careful kerning and high contrast colors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>12. Bodoni<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Bodoni logo font originated during a time when logo designers were experimenting with the contrast between thick and thin type logo design fonts.\u00a0The creator of this iconic font, Giambattista Bodoni, took that experiment to an extreme and\u00a0created this dramatic\u00a0font.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, this logo font has been used for\u00a0famous brands like\u00a0Vogue and Calvin Klein and is still considered as a\u00a0mainstream logo designing font for fashion brands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/logo-design-order.php?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4489 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LDT-0012-1.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Logo Design\" width=\"720\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LDT-0012-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.logodesignteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LDT-0012-1-300x71.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>13. Verdana<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You must have heard of the very popular Verdana font as it is widely used for a variety of purposes. PayPal\u2019s logo is based on the Verdana font.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal has rounded the edges of the letters to attain a friendly and less severe appearance. It has also slightly altered the bellies of the \u201ca\u201d to make them a bit squarer and longer.
