If your design process has been a bit slow lately – thanks to the pandemic and all that it has brought with it – you certainly aren’t alone. To kill your boredom and ours and to stimulate our respective creativities – here is a list of 20 beautiful engineering logos.
Engineering is an exciting profession. These professionals are not only experts in science and math but are wildly creative, too. Did you know, for example, that the slippery part of water slides was conceived by an engineer? Engineers are also responsible for inventing the Ferris wheel, the first snowboard, and the Morse code; among many other exciting things (the Egyptian pyramids, for example).
So, if you are designing a brand identity for an engineer or an engineering firm, consider your work cut out for you. These people are geniuses and deserve to be presented with the best that graphic design has to offer.
So, use these inspiring images below and help your design process move along.
