Useful fonts to design a nice and clean logo

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Making Design usually is not hard, but making nice design is a task that not everyone can do. One of the most important features of a nice designs is a cool logo. For a cool logo, you need a cool font. Well in this post, I will share some of the useful fonts to create logos. These fonts are the ones that I tend to see myself using alot. But before I present to you my list, I would like to explain what I consider a decent logo.

My definition of a Decent Logo is:

- One that blends in with the theme, yet is astonishing.
- Readable, and Clean
- Creative and Good Looking

Well to fit in the guidelines, I can suggest you some of the fonts that I use alot to make logos that looks good. I have downloaded these fonts over a long period of time. This is a good source for web designers specially the new ones who are entering the industry. The list is not in any specific order, so don’t think the first one is the best one.

Cicle Font Style

Cicle – 7 Font Files – Freeware

Existence Font Style

Existence – 3 Font Files – Freeware

Diavlo Font Style

Diavlo – This is the font that I use for Balkhis Logo.

Delicious Font Style

Delicious – Another cool font.

Cicle Font Style

Fontin-Sans – Last one in my cool listing.

These fonts are the ones that I use in almost all of my posts other than some premium ones which I downloaded for free in their promotional moments. The ones above described are freeware which means free for both personal and commerical use. These were mostly found from Smashing Magazine Posts.

When I opened one of the first PostScript service bureaus over 25 years ago, I spent around $50K on fonts. It never ceased to amaze me that customers could still ask for one that I didn’t have. A lot has changed since then.

There are still some that I have that has turned paid. I downloaded them during their promotional times now each font style like bold, italic and other cost 26$ for that font.

So I can see how you would have spent 50k… it is still a hifty sum.

Good for you Syed to have all these cool scripts to work with.I try to avoid the graphic part of my work because it is time consuming,addictive and distracts me from doing other things.Or maybe am not smart enough. lol!
