I tried my hand at a plug-face-logo, but I spent like 2 minutes on it and it turned out mondo crappy. This looks phenomenal, I love it.

This is exactly why little kids like sticking their fingers in electrical outlets. They see a tiny face! LOL Fantastic logo:)

@nataliav: That was my intention.
@Tonfue: Lol. Thanks, I think :)

Nice execution, Fogra. Sockets are different here in Northern Ireland but the idea is obvious to see. Keep it up.

Matheus said:

the mark is awesome Fogra, I just don't know about the type you used. The mark itself makes the type unnoticed.


Oct. 22 '08

fogra said:

Thanks.

What is this for?

It's just for fun or for the craic as I usually say.

jennyb said:

This is super creative and unique, well done!

graeme said:

Oh okay. Well its a nice observation. Outlets do look like that. But trying to think of how to apply it might be where the creative part comes in. Any thoughts?

I suppose anything that delivers surprising news about electricity may work. "Surprise! Electricity is a renewable resource! Shocking."

With most things, I appreciate cleverness in application as with all things derived from observation the actual application is the real challenge, I'd love to see this logo get there.
Thanks for the post! :)

Such an awesome design. I love your work!

fatalis said:

Not very international, though, since the outlets look different in many parts of the world.

fogra said:

@LogoMonitor: Thanks for the heads-up but are you blaming me or them?


Aug. 01 '09

fogra said:

@LogoMonitor: Well Mr. Robert McGuire, (AKA, McGuire Design), just because I highlighted one of your logos as inspired from another logo doesn't mean you have the right to hide under a newly generated username account and try to discredit myself and other designers on here!


Aug. 01 '09

lundeja said:

Funny he takes the time to point this logo out, but this one is totally legitimate in his eyes:

http://brandstack.com/logos/details/6824

Come on, Robert.


Aug. 01 '09

logomotive said:

I don't know who is who anymore. If you gonna call someone out, show your face. BTW that logo is not even close IMO.


Aug. 01 '09

firebrand said:

Bit of a sly way of going about things and poor advert for Brandstack IMO.
Makes you wonder how many people are hiding behind these 'no logo' usernames specifically to attack other members.


Aug. 01 '09

lundeja said:

http://www.brandstack.com/users/profile/LogoMonitor Oh wow, Sean. He deleted the Brandstack account and the comment on the time logo now that he's been figured out. They really do think they are sly.

ClimaxDesigns said:

whoa guys, guys, lets settle down here a bit let me look into the situation and this has nothing to do with brandstack it could and did happen just as easily on any site with free registration. Wes from brand stack is aware of the situation also. if there is anything that needs to be done we will take appropriate action.


Aug. 01 '09

lundeja said:

backs off amicably :)


Aug. 03 '09

ClimaxDesigns said:

Ok Wes and I have both spoken to Robert and I am going to follow suit with Wes from Brandstack and delete the logomonitor account. I'll be addressing a larger and more over arching issue that this may stem from in the forum later this week.

Fogra thought you would just like to check this out :http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-13523530/stock-vector-electric-outlet-illustration-on-blue-gray-background.html

fogra said:

Yes, I am very aware of these sockets in existence on vector stock sites.


Nov. 01 '09

ClimaxDesigns said:

Yeah if i took a picture of my wall socket and posted it, you would think frogra was ripping off the people who built my house :D, no brandmantra these are fine, its obvious he just did this for fun and there are clearly no other solutions to be had from a visual stand point with this concept, i think this is fine.

fogra said:

^ Cheers, David. I really only created this logo as a double entendre on an everyday object but I guess I don't need to explain myself.
