Today I saw the coolest [COEXIST](http://www.google.com/imgres?q=COEXIST+logo&hl=en&sa=X&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&rlz=1I7PRFA_en&tbm=isch&prmd=ivns&tbnid=Zldcn2LKMFBpUM:&imgrefurl=http://randomviewpoints.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/coexist/&docid=70EpRzgB04YsgM&w=300&h=82&ei=E_poTumtJsne0QHs9uz1Cw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=183&vpy=127&dur=78&hovh=65&hovw=240&tx=132&ty=63&page=1&tbnh=65&tbnw=240&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&biw=991&bih=621) Bumper Sticker. Let’s link to some other really cool logos ---

I like this one by [Southern California Edison](http://www.trademarkia.com/sce-southern-california-edison-73641140.html). ---

This one is rather [amusing.](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8M4A38LyBBs/TARhR4o03aI/AAAAAAAAXas/Qa2UWF5ps0g/s1600/worst+logo+fals14.jpg) ---

I still like [this](http://www.southernliterarytrail.org/images/logo-encyclopediaofalabama2.jpg) one. ---

I’ll be the first to jump in and mention the famous [Spartan Golf club](http://www.logofaves.com/2010/01/spartan-golf-club-2/) logo: greek-style helmet/man swinging golf club. ninja edit: and let’s not forget the FedEx arrow, which everyone has heard of by now but I still wanted to be the first to mention. ---

I love the Spartan golf logo! Similar to the FedEx, we have a show called One to One with a fairly simple logo but the same kind of cleverness. [One to One](http://www.ket.org/onetoone/images/onetoone_display_hed.jpg). ---

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve always appreciated the old [Northwestern Airlines logo,](http://images.sixrevisions.com/2009/09/30-10_northwest_airlines.png) because it’s an “N”, it’s a “W”, and it’s an compass arrow that points north-west. Their new one destroyed it. That Spartan Golf Club is fantastic. ---

I think the [Chernin Entertainment](http://images.wikia.com/planetoftheapes/images/5/58/Celogo.jpg)logo is not only cool looking, it’s wonderfully creative. ---

[ACME Bookbinding](http://www.acmebook.com/images/Full_Acme_Logo.gif). It took me a while to figure out what was missing. Kind of hard to do when the truck bearing the logo don’t stick around for long. ---

Kind of hard to do when the truck bearing the logo don’t stick around for long. Nope. Don’t see it. Are you referring to the potential “FCUK” in the alphabet? A stretch. What’s missing? ---

I like the [Sony VAIO](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaio) logo. The VA looks like an analog sine wave and the IO looks like binary symbols. So the brand sort of represents the intersection of digital and analog. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > There are five rows of five letters each, for an alphabet of twenty five letters. Which one is missing? Second row essentially has six; the kerning is tighter and the I and J are narrow. There’s room for the H even though it’s not seen behind the book. ---

> [@Jenaroph](#): > > Second row essentially has six; the kerning is tighter and the I and J are narrow. There’s room for the H even though it’s not seen behind the book. That’s what I’m coming up with as well. It would have to be H or I, but you can see the I and there’s plenty of space of an H. ---

Is there some significance to the “missing” H? ---
