Logo designs can be loosely broken into three categories:
- Text Only
- Text and Symbols
- Symbol Only
This post is a mini showcase of logos which fall into categories two and three, with the symbols in question being animals.
So without further ado, for your viewing pleasure and design inspiration here are some little known and some well known logo designs.

The Qantas logo featuring a kangaroo has been around in one form or another since 1944 and was redesigned in 2007 by Hulsbosch.
And finally one of my all time favorite logos, the beautiful World Wildlife Fund with the giant panda.
