Need a logo designer? Or just advice?

When you walk down the street it is easy to spot and recognize a good logo, because that is what makes a good logo. A good logo is easy to remember, recognize, describe and should be effective without colour, at any size and preferably look great on a t shirt. The terms sound quite simple, but are not in reality and it is essential to research thoroughly before setting yourself upon such a task.

Whether you are looking to hire a logo designer or just want some advice on designing your own, be sure to check out these five friendly and very talented designers.
