Creating brand symbolism becomes a super easy task when we are using animals as our brand identity ambassadors. Nobody will have any trouble gauging what a brand with a lion on its logo is trying to say. Using various animals to project various brand qualities is a go-to for brands that are looking for instant connections and immediate recognition.
In industries such as animal care including vet clinics, pet grooming shops, and animal adoption centers, etc., using animal logos on brand designs is a no-brainer. But the beauty of animal logo designs is such that it transcends industries, markets, and consumers. A cute duck logo design will look adorable on a child day care center logo as well as a baby clothing store. Similarly, an eagle can be displayed on an apparel logo, on an education logo, a law firm logo, and even as a business or entertainment logo.
Here, we have collected for you 20 creative animal logos that are wildly inspiring. Let’s check them out.

A Parting Thought
Animal logos can be a brand’s best friend. Just make sure that the animal you are choosing has a natural relevance to the brand story you are trying to tell. Also, if your industry is too directly connected with animals, perhaps choosing a completely different design dimension – letting go of an animal logo, for example, may work to help you standout.
