In today\u2019s crowded marketplace, it\u2019s never been more important to make a good impression. Your logo plays a crucial role in making a lasting impression on your customers. This is especially important in the hyper-competitive world of tech startups.<\/p>\n

There are over 100,000 software companies<\/a> currently operating in the United States. That statistic alone illustrates why a good tech logo is necessary<\/a> for your business to stand out.<\/p>\n

To help get you thinking about what constitutes a good tech logo, here are seven of the coolest tech logos of all time!<\/p>\n

The Coolest Tech Logos EVER!<\/h2>\n

Graphic design is always changing. Tastes and trends are mercurial, shifting like the tides and the seasons.<\/p>\n

That being said, a great graphic design should aspire to be timeless. It should weather the passing trends and transmit something essential about the brand\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n

To help you decide on a timeless tech logo of your own, here are some of the most iconic logos for tech companies of all time.<\/p>\n

1. Apple<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s start with the classics. While Apple\u2019s iconic tech logo has become omnipresent, it still effortlessly radiates cool, modern, and chic.<\/p>\n

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are more than just programming savants. They\u2019re also marketing geniuses, judging from the fact that Apple\u2019s logo has managed to remain synonymous with high tech for several decades.<\/p>\n

To settle on their logo, Steve Jobs contacted designer Rob Janoff with a very open-ended design brief. \u201cWe\u2019re calling it Apple,\u201d was the only direction Janoff received.<\/p>\n

Janoff\u2019s iconic design is a testament to solid design principles. The missing chunk out of the apple was to help the tech logo be recognizable at any size, as well as to maintain a weighted balance.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t enter a coffee shop or boutique without seeing Apple\u2019s logo glowing from at least half-a-dozen screens. This will likely still be true in 50 years.<\/p>\n

2. IBM<\/h3>\n

While it might not seem as \u201csexy\u201d as Apple, it\u2019s hard to argue with a tech logo that\u2019s remained timely for over 45 years. Paul Rand\u2019s updated logo<\/a> for IBM is a landmark of timeless design that still somehow seems contemporary<\/p>\n

Rand\u2019s tech logo design<\/a> is also a primer on solid design principles. The rounded inlay between the \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018B\u2019 is meant to approximate a globe. This was to emphasize the \u201cInternational\u201d of \u201cInternational Business Machines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chances are, you never even noticed. Paul Rand\u2019s design is subtle and unobtrusive, as the best designs should be.<\/p>\n

3. Pinterest<\/h3>\n

Pinterest\u2019s logo has become so omnipresent we might not think twice about it. Take a second look, however, and you\u2019ll notice some surprising details.<\/p>\n

For Pinterest\u2019s most basic icon, which is the letter P in a simple circle, it\u2019s a testament to the timelessness of a monochromatic design. There\u2019s something about red and white together which has created successful visual branding for countless entities, from Coca-Cola to The White Stripes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just as subtly cool when Pinterest does it. It also looks great against both light and dark backgrounds, making it appropriate for most print situations.<\/p>\n

The full Pinterest logotype is what really stands out, however. Take a closer look and you\u2019ll notice the bottom of the P is actually a pen nib, designed to appeal to Pinterest\u2019s craft crowd.<\/p>\n

4. Jelly<\/h3>\n

A relative newcomer on the scene, Jelly\u2019s logo says a lot in a short amount of time. In today\u2019s content-heavy world, a great tech logo should communicate as much as possible in a split-second.<\/p>\n

Jelly is a search engine company, geared around conversational search engine queries, predicting the rise of speech-based search several years ago. Jelly was acquired by Pinterest last year, which is a sure sign their branding is working.<\/p>\n

Jelly\u2019s logo blends two ideas into a seamless whole. It\u2019s a jellyfish which is also a brain. Without ever saying a word, it reminds us that we\u2019re all just floating nervous systems within this complex ecosystem.<\/p>\n

5. Orbotix<\/h3>\n

Coming across as playful while still being able to be taken seriously is no easy task. Boulder, CO\u2019s Orbotix pulls it off gracefully with the robotic tech logo it uses for its smart robot products Sphero<\/a> and Ollie.<\/p>\n

The Sphero logo looks like a cross between a Pac-Man ghost and a Star Wars droid. Which is appropriate, as Orbotix also manufactures some Star Wars merch. The tech logo manages to be recognizable while also still seeming novel and contemporary.<\/p>\n

6. Snapchat<\/h3>\n

Snapchat is one of the most popular apps with teens, who are notoriously difficult to please when it comes to being \u201ccool.\u201d Snapchat\u2019s monochromatic yellow-and-white \u201cGhostface Chillah\u201d logo pulls it off effortlessly.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to imagine a league of 18-year-olds getting the ghost logo tattoos. It\u2019s also not hard to imagine a room full of investment bankers bending over backward to hand Snapchat cash, to capitalize on their hipness.<\/p>\n

Snapchat\u2019s logo hasn\u2019t always been so graceful. Ghostface Chillah used to have a face, which created a busier, clunkier design. The new minimalist reimagination makes the tech logo design speak to nearly any demographic you could think of, with no text required.<\/p>\n

7. Nest<\/h3>\n

The Japanese have a word called \u201cMa,\u201d which means \u201ca constructive use of negative space.\u201d In logo design, Ma is your friend, as you have very limited real estate to communicate the most important ideas about a product or brand.<\/p>\n

Nest communicates its vision of a smart home easily, using a lower-case \u2018N\u2019 as the doorway for a home. Smart, simple, chic, and to the point, if only all designs could be as graceful and elegant.<\/p>\n
