200+ Personal Logo Examples Every Designer Needs To See

Designing a logo is never a solo act. Even if you’re the only designer on the case, you work with a person — or a team of people —who represent the company you’re designing for. They’re the ones who tell you the initial project requirements, make revisions, and ultimately approve a final design. But as invested as they are in the project, those people aren’t married to your design. The logo represents the company, not the people behind it.

Unless you’re designing a personal logo.

Personal logos are like their own species. Unlike corporate logos, which represent an inanimate money-making entity, personal logos are a unique hybrid. They represent both a brand and its creator. In many ways, a personal logo is an extension of the business owner’s personality. That means the pressure is on you as a designer. Make one wrong move, and you could ruin your client’s name — literally.

Now, before you panic, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Designing a personal logo also has a lot of perks, like more freedom and working on a one-on-one basis with someone who has all the inside info about the brand.

Turning your client’s personality into a cohesive brand identity can be a bit of a challenge, which is why we’ve collected a whole smorgasbord of personal logos to inspire you.
