Best Web Site of the World

Forget Google. Forget Amazon. Forget eBay. Perhaps the most important web site ever put together on the internet is Brands of the World. Thousands of logos, in .eps format, available at your fingertips. Old versions, new versions. Color versions, black and white versions. All a download click away as long as you check the “agree” box. How many times has Brands of the World saved you from clients that keep sending you low resolution GIFs of logos to populate a sponsor-logo mural? Where else can you get logos to modify in subversive or comic ways other than Brands of the World? And all for free. I love Brands of the World.

Now owned by graphics.com — which touts Brands of the World’s “more than 160,000 vector format brands and logos” and its traffic of “over 2 million unique visitors and over 30 million page views per month” — this venerable site has a new logo that replaces the painfully clip-arted logo that we had grown accustomed to. The new logo isn’t really that great but, like any good evolution, it retains elements of its past (the globe) and executes it in a more contemporary way. The logo is vastly more readable and it doesn’t look as much as a logo for a piracy-bittorrent download site anymore. Here is to many more logo downloads!

Thanks to Dean Hudson for the tip.
