9+ Spiral Logos
The test of a good logo design is the sand test. That is, a young child should be able to draw your company’s logo, freehand on the beach sand, with a stick, from memory and with no reference. If that is possible, your logo passes the test of being memorable. It is iconic. The best motifs for this kind of feature are abstract patterns, or real life objects shown in abstract ways. These license-to-use and Free PSD Logos all show one perfect example of this pattern: the spiral.
If you feel your company is something dynamic and fluid, hard to pin down and therefore difficult to represent in a logo, perhaps the spiral is one for you. Take a look through these examples to see just how much the simple spiral has to offer.

The Ups of Spiral Logos
Your company logo is the ambassador representing your company’s values and reputation. It is not something you should design offhandedly. Spiral logos are fun, and many companies of every industry, from car manufacturers to maintenance companies, commercial banks and film studios, are looking to use this flexible shape but somehow fail to stand out. Corporate Logos have to be more than fun – they have to be representative and they have to be well designed.
A good logo invariably has these features:
- It is memorable. In other words, it passes the sand test. Even without your company colors, it should be recognizable as yours and only yours.
- It is simple. This is related to the first point. If it is an intricate, arcane jumble of lines and swirls peppered with letters, don’t expect to be remembered.
- It is versatile. Your logo will be appearing everywhere, from printed brochures to web ads, business cards, letterheads and merchandise. What you choose should be able to fit on anything.
How does the spiral logo fare? It can be all these, but not automatically.
