You know the situation. You need to do a logo for a client, but no ideas. This thread is to get the ideas for your logos, discuss what kind of logos are perfect for the different kind of company your doing the logo for and to know some basic rules about logos like: "Can I use a bitmap?", "Should I do a black and white version?", "Do I have to create a custom font with the logo" ...

Post logos you like, what you like about them and maybe even what could be made better.

This is not the thread to discuss your own logos, but if you like you can post them, too.

I start with the logo of the USA Volleyball Organistation:



What I like about it is that even without the text, you know the text. There is the flag of the USA implemented in the form of a volley ball. Works really great and is simple enough for a logo.
