Top Draw Logos

This is the home of the best logos, ever.

Post large images. Try and post designer and agency/studio too please.

Notes: This a thread for good logos. Popular/corporate does not necessarily mean good - some may be removed if they don't make the cut. Ebay or Nintendo for example! You are welcome to debate their worthiness elsewhere - this is a showcase thread only so off topic posts will be lanced.

If we're going to do bands, I've always thought Tool's penis wrench was hilarious and great.

one of the best of recent years

looks like a (fen) Church window, also puts you in mind of railway tracks - the founders used to skateboard at fenchurch st station

and of course it's the 'F' too

very pleasing

No idea who designed it and I can't find a bigger version but I've liked this logo mark for a local hospital (where I used to live) since I first saw it. Hospitals all too often have horrendous logos and designs making it another reason that this one stood out to me.
