The very first images of animals were the prehistoric cave paintings. Since these times animals have been very popular in visual arts of very different cultures and nations all over the world. There is virtually no tribe, no nation that has never ever had artists and craftsmen depicting animals.
Animals are our little brothers, that is what a lot of people think. This view on the animal kingdom gives them a special anthropomorphic appearance in visual arts. Ancient tribes used to associate various animals with different traits of human character. Traditionally, for example, an owl is the symbol of wisdom, a bear is a symbol of strength, fox is the symbol of cunning and so on.
In the modern art they are often portrayed walking on hind legs and sometimes even talking or doing other human activities such as sitting and drinking tea. Because the symbolism of animals have been so strong over centuries and even thousands of years a lot of organizations choose animals as their logo images. Even the organizations that have nothing to do with animals choose animal imagery as their representation. An example would be the sport clothing company Puma that depicts a puma on their logo. That is a fine choice of an animal because puma traditionally is considered to be an agile and athletic animal just as their potential customers.
Look bellow! No it is not a mouse, or maybe it is? Bellow in this post you can find many marvelous animal inspired logo designs for your inspiration. We hope these images will bring you new wonderful ideas that you could turn into your own furry, winged or scaly animal logo.
