Photoshop Tutorials: November 2009

Today, I discovered two awesome stuffs on the internet. First, a brilliant song by Glass Pear called Ghost..but, let's not talk about that because we all know, it would be kind of off-topic here...and second, the 'Real Photoshop' image below. It's the coolest image I have seen in a long time...with brilliant concept and super-awesome execution. For a Photoshop enthusiast like me, every time I look at it, it brings a smile to my face. Seriously, the awesomeness factor just went through the ionosphere with this image! I wish my Photoshop layout looks like this already!

Trust me..it looks even better in high resolution =)

Some people are obsessed with logo and some just enjoy looking at something pretty and brilliantly designed. Whoever you are, we hope this post 25 Brilliantly Designed Logo can give you a little inspiration on your next project. Most of the logos here display the brilliant use of negative space in logo design. And some just need to be included here because they're too cool to be left out. Eh, you're wondering what's negative space all about? At some point in our lives, we must have encountered the image below:

Negative space can simply be defined as the space not used. Negative space enable us to create optical illusions, where we focus on one image, and only when we shift our perception to focus on the negative space, do we see another image as well. In above case, it's between a vase and two faces.

American Institute of Architects Center logo
I guess this company pretty much thought they're the key to the city or something like that. Notice the city in the logo?

Human logo
Subtle, eh? This logo takes us back to the start, the earliest stage of human being...got it? HUMAN is one of America's pre-eminent original music composition and sound design companies specializing in unique and compelling music for the international advertising industry.

Sinkit logo
Can you guess that this company has something to do with golf? Because this logo picture conveys the message perfectly.

Urban Chic
A comb and a city..how often you got that combination.

MyFonts logo
So, you notice the words, 'My Font' but do you notice the hand?

Fit logo
Do I need to explain to you how this logo fit perfectly with the word..I guess no.

Grace Hospice

Let's play this game where you need to locate 3 objects in this logo..a tree, a bird and a red-head lady...in three seconds.

Piano Forest Logo
Once again, a brilliant combination of a piano and forest to reflect the name of the brand.

What’s For Dinner?
Aww, isn't that cute...how the letter W can create the illusion of a waiter.

Fedex logo
Don't tell me you don't recognize this logo...but can you locate the hidden arrow in this logo? a lot of people miss it.

Wiesinger Music Logo
The letters W and M to represent the name and both letters are brilliantly designed to create the piano keys.

BarCode
Whoever relates the name of the brand and comes out with this logo is brilliant!

Mo Sleep Logo
Let me give you a hint. Find the letter M and a bed.

Iron Duck Clothing Logo
Nothing much to say. You can see the awesomeness yourself.

Maddoux
This idea is nicely done...albeit it's resemblance with the ying and yang symbol.

Unocu
Gotta be honest here, I don't know what's the word Onocu stands for...but this logo is cool if you can read the word reflect on it.

F1 Logo
See the use of negative space in this logo? And I believe the red area represents speed..

Invisible children Logo
If I got my geography correct, that's a shape of Africa masquerading as a foot print.

Toblerone Logo
Sure, we've all ate this Chocolate before, but have we ever notice the hidden bear in the logo and a small fish, if you look closely.

The Big Ten Logo
The Big Ten Conference is the United States' oldest Division I college athletic conference. Despite the conference's name, there are 11 schools in the Big Ten, as signified by the hidden "11" in the Big Ten Conference logo. So, one school decided to join the conference, why bother changing the name, right? Let's just reflect that in the logo.

Push the Bottle Logo
Image of a bottle and a finger pushing it..talk about brilliant!

Horror Films Logo
At first glance, you'll see a film reel, look again...I bet you'll see a ghost. Or maybe you see the ghost first. Now, what does that tell about you...
