We use punctuation everyday when writing articles, blog posts and emails. We’re all aware that using the wrong punctuation can completely change the meaning of a sentence or even a whole document. So, where else do people use punctuation? In logo design of course!
The 34 logos showcased in the post use punctuation as a design element. Some logos feature commas, colons and semicolons while others use exclamation marks, question marks, brackets and parentheses. I found they were very creative and thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy! :)

Your Turn To Talk
I hope you enjoyed this post and I’d love to know which ones are your favorites. Of course feel free to share other punctuation inspired logo designs with the rest of us!
The logos are really creative.
I specially like the logo of “Numerical Man”!
A logo represents a business. A logo tells a lot about a business and important part of brand reputation.
Wow wow!!! Thank you!!!
Wow i like these! Quite a lot of ‘quote’ one’s though – seems to be a popular choice?
I particularly like Schizophrenic’s use of the different punctuation, Earth’s combination of typeface and exclamation mark, and Numerical Man’s just brilliant.
What about everybody else?
Very nice.
Looking at the “Ingenio ” logo, looks very vague to me.

wonderful creative designs.. thanks for sharing.
I like punch and code fish..
Wow, good, original list! I guess we’ll see a few copies of this list now on all the other design blogs! Hah.
very nice done!
congrats.
Wow…what a great collection of creative design !!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing…
The ingenio logo is just trying to hard. There is no way anyone could understand it without already knowing it says ingenio
Nice! Ingenio is really creative, but I never would have got it not knowing what it was before hand. Schizo is definitely my favorite.
I was enjoying your list of punctuation logos and what do you know, mine was in the list (enfinitive). Thanks for featuring it! I really like the concept of using punctuation as part of a logo. Since it’s something we use everyday that has a pre-conceived meaning, using it in another way can help tell a new story in a short, meaningful way. Great post, thanks!
Very creative examples. I like all of them!
Thanks for the list. This is really comprehensive, there are lots of creative ideas here from which I can take some inspiration.
I particularly like the simpler understated concepts such as the gobo logo.
Thanks again!
Very nice collection and ideas for logo designs.
I like the “Punch Quotes” logo very much :)
Beautiful, I like this!
These are awesome :) Very nice, and certainly very inspiring. Who knew these punctuation marks could be used to say so many things? The punchquotes and the schizophrenic are my favorites. Thanks, these are so C%L =) (couldn’t resist!)
Some nice logos.
There’s also {UNION} ad. agency.

Nice collection…inspiring :)
Thanks very much for the mention Jon!
Sweet! Thanks a lot! :-]
Great collection! There’s also http://www.punctuatingreality.com one.
Felicitaciones por esta buena recopilación, es muy llamativo ver trabajos basados ene l punto.

Nice) Like “Punch Quotes” logo a lot!
Thanks for featuring my design (ingenio)!
I totaly agree there’s practically no way (especially for non-designers) to read it without knowing the name. The reason is everyone who’ll see it, **will** know it should be “ingenio”.
Let me explain: it’s no client job, only a lousy school project (fictive ad agency) :). It’ll be used only once, during the school’s doors open day, so it’s no big deal to explain the name by the rest of CI and the tagline: “Speaking without words.” That’s why I allowed myself so tricky concept.
About the others: I love almost all of them. Lets point some out: Numerical man is incredibly creative, Dignity has perfect color choice, super. But my favorite one is Gobo.
probably not one of the best logos around, but mine is also punctuation inspired :)
LOVE both Punch Quotes & Schizophrenic! Thanks for sharing! :)
I just re-designed our logo for loyaltymedia, a publishing company. It’s another one to add to the list!
How about Aalto University?

Awesome collection….Great post.
Some of these are really amazing. I especially like Codefish and Talkmore. Extremely clever.
^_^
Good list. I’d also like to throw into the hat the Adult Swim logo for Cartoon Network.

Numerical Man is by far my favourite!
