Logos Inside: A Hard-to-find collection of trademarked logos.
An HtmlHelp file with 500 internationally known trademarked logos. That's a lot of corporate logos; it might provide some inspiration for your own, or at the least, it's a guide to what's already taken.
These are for logo recognition, education and inspiration only, not for use as source files. The logosbook.com site has been down for a while now, and we thought it would be good to host this file somewhere.
And say, does anyone know where logosbook.com has gone?
