The Name Logo Comes From the Greek
The Name Logo Comes From the Greek
The name Logo comes from the greek word logo, which means "word". In contrast
to earlier programming languages, which emphasized arithmetic computation, Logo
was designed to manipulate laguage __ words and sentences.
Like any programming language, Logo is a general - purpose tool that can be
approached in many ways. Logo programming can be understood at different levels of sophistication. It has been taught to four years old and to college students.
Most of the books about Logo so far have been introductory books for young
beginners , but this article is different. it's for somewhat older learners, probably
with some prior computer experience , although not neccessarily Logo experiance .
This article was written using the berkeley Logo dialect, a version of Logo that's
available at no cost for PCs, Macintoshes , and Unix Systems. Recent Commercial
Logo dialects have emphasized the control of real - time animation, robotics,
and other such application areas, somewhat at the expense of more traditional
Logo features designed to be useful in the development of larger and more complex
programs. berkeley Logo follows the traditional design, so you may miss some
" bells and whistles " that you associate with Logo from elementary school.
In fact, we will hardly do any graphics in this article!
Some of the details you will have to know order to work with Logo depend on the
particular kind of computer you are using. This article assumes you already know some
things about your computer:

20 Funny Cartoon Animal Logos
20 Funny Cartoon Animal Logos
Looking for a great cartoon animal logo? Drawing funny animals is by far our favorite subject to draw and is also our most requested cartoon design theme. Dogs are the most requested cartoon animals we get but we’ve also had everything from an iguana, beaver, kangaroo, camel, zebra, giraffe, skunk, pelican, rat, chipmunk, polar bear, turtle and cat all the way to Big Foot.
Here is a quick collection of 20 cartoon animal designs to give you an idea of how our clients are using the designs we create. Some of these characters are part of the logo design while others are used as stand alone cartoon mascots. Take a look and let us know which crazy animal we can start sketching for you.
We’ve started out with two completely different dogs to show that there are dozens of ways to use animals in your marketing. One is a cute puppy dog used as a mascot while the other is a rugged cattle dog roasting coffee beans on an open fire.
Two really fun logos promoting a car wax and detailing company and a cool beaver grilling up a new BBQ product. Both designs use the characters within the logo and really help draw attention to the product.
If you haven’t noticed we love to create many of our logos within a circle type layout. Our customers like the ease of use with a round design. These types of logos fit well into most any space and are friendly to print. These are two wacky animals promoting food related businesses. The monkey is hocking pizza and beer while the zebra was used on a label to sell chili.
When you’re in need of something unusual please let us know. Here we’ve drawn up a surfing cow and some really funny sweating chickens. One logo design was used online while the other was printed on the product label.
Here are a couple of country type cartoon animals. We’ve got your easy going turtle wearing his cowboy hat rocking in his chair while the funny hound dog has his wrench and is ready to go to work.
Two more circle logo designs. The cartoon squirrel was used on a poker chip as a promotion while the dog design was used to help advertise for a dog fundraiser. We’ve created logos that have been used or printed on just about anything you can imagine.
These are fairly simple designs but they help bring attention to the logo. A silly kangaroo is used to sell kids products while the duck is being used as the mascot for a plumbing business.
We seem to get a good quantity of cartoon logos for BBQ related companies. Here’s a hillbilly bear design for a business in Texas and a really fun drawing of bigfoot for a photographer.
Below we have one crazy monkey that was used on an eBay related website and also a cute dog and cat cartoon logo design. These logos were used for companies doing work online. Cartoon animals work well to bring attention to any webpage.
Cartoon birds are another of our top requested logo characters. Ducks are very popular and this skateboarding mascot is fun and can bring a young audience to its client base. The colorful parrot is perfect for this tropical rental business.

1) Laughing Dog Cafe Design
A fun loving dog reading a book in a coffee mug. With an umbrella! I really enjoyed creating this design and wanted to create a laughing dog that everyone could fall in love with.
2) Neon Pelican Logo
This cartoon logo was a bit of a challenge but I think I tackled it and am happy with the outcome. The pelican and circle needed to look neon so I used anOuter Glow effect from Adobe Illustrator to accomplish the task.
3) Overtime Sports Bar Logo
He's not only an umpire but he's a chef and bartender as well. A simple cartoon design but a very likeable character.
4) Q.U.E.S.T. Cartoon Logo Design
It may be difficult to see all of the detail in this design but consists of one dirty adventurer and one a bit cleaner. I loved creating the short VW Van.
5) Scrumdingers Logo
One of the funnier business names I've worked with. I was asked to create a sandwich character and this was my creation.
6) Dave's Outdoor Cartoon Logo
I got to let loose on this design. I created a wild and wacky four wheeler with an even crazier riding it toting a chain saw. A really fun design.
7) The Dock Box Logo
I created a fun lunch box and seagull for this restaurant design. Rather than creating an entire dock I simply used the tops of the pier poles.
8) Hockey Club Design
I was asked to create a rough and tumble, beer drinking hockey player. I added some fun little details like the lost tooth, toe sticking out of skate, nicked hockey stick and band-aids.
9) Moose n' Eddies Pub & Grill
Two really cool cats. Well, not cats as much as beatnik dogs. One of my earlier logo designs.
10) Storybook Safari Logo
A boy and his book. This great cartoon logo includes a safari kid and a few safari animals.
11) Tiny Texans DayCare Cartoon Design
All Texans love their cowboys. This client wanted to incorporate the kids with some Cowboy football. I enjoyed decking the characters out as a football player and cheerleader.
12) Tijuana Taxi Co. Logo
I loved creating this cowboy cactus character for a taxi company that used VW Bugs. Unfortunately the project was abandoned but the cactus is now available at Life's A Character.
13) Funny Turtle Character
This easy going turtle was created for a client that wanted a rocking turtle with a hint of country auto racing.
14) King Rental Ape Character Logo
This client requested a King Kong type of character for their home rental company. Let me create a funny character for you.
