How and When to Use A Funny Logo"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you search for \u201cfunny logos\u201d on Google, you\u2019ll most likely find a ton of big-brand parody logos or crass innuendos. While these are a good laugh, there\u2019s a difference between being crude with your logo and being playful. A decent funny logo is a great way to show your brand’s fun side\u2014without going overboard.<\/p>\n

To help you understand how to use a more humorous logo, we\u2019ve filtered through mountains of examples to bring you a curated selection of those that hit the mark just right.<\/p>\n

When is it okay to use a funny logo?<\/h2>\n

A funny logo doesn\u2019t have to be laugh-out-loud hilarious. In fact, just like people, logos that try too hard to be funny often end up falling flat and making things awkward for everybody.<\/p>\n

The right tone to aim for with a funny logo is more like a wink\u2014perhaps a subtle nod to something your company does, or a playful character that can make your brand identity<\/a> stand out. <\/div>\n

It\u2019s also important to think about context. Funny logos are a great fit for relaxed indie brands that focus on service and relationship-building. Think food trucks, coffee companies<\/a>, craft beer and breweries, and independent construction companies.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a good rule of thumb: if your brand tone and voice<\/a> has room for (tasteful) jokes, you could think about using a funnier logo style. If you run a clinic or a consultancy, it\u2019s probably best to avoid the visual puns for now (and definitely avoid any insensitive jokes that negatively portray a specific group.)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some examples!<\/p>\n

Brand name puns<\/h2>\n

Brand name puns are a fun way to show you know your industry and have a bit of banter. They\u2019re ironic, tongue-in-cheek, and fun. Salons, construction companies, landscapers, and food services are good examples of appropriate contexts – but it totally depends on the type of clientele you\u2019re working with.<\/p>\n
