Most Famous Logos With a Planet PNG
It has long been clear to all of us that the logo is the face of the brand. It creates the most important and necessary first impression, causing trust in a potential client and building a positive associative series in his imagination.
We will not list all the possible geometric shapes, styles, and colors used by designers to create emblems of brands and companies, because today we are interested in only one thing: Planets. In this article, we will look at logos, part of which is the image of a particular planet. But, first, let’s try to look in general terms at what meaning these graphic elements carry.
First of all, let’s talk about geometry. Any logo with the image of a planet is a circle or sphere. From the point of view of psychology, logos in the form of a circle most of all cause sympathy and trust in a potential client. The circle is a symbol of both completeness and infinity and is also often associated with activity and mobility.
As for the Planet as a symbol, like everything associated with the cosmos, it represents mystery and infinity. Also, the planet is often used by companies to emphasize international presence, or as a symbol of unity and cooperation. Now, let’s move on to our list of logos.
Animal Planet
The planet from the logo of Animal Planet looks very realistic. It is drawn in a three-dimensional form with blue and white gradients and is placed on the top part of the composition, the main part of which is taken by a solid green banner with white lettering and a silhouette of an elephant above it. Here it’s all about nature and preservation, clean, distinctive, and confident.
AstroWorld
In the AstroWorld logo, the planet replaces one of the “O”s, the central character. The whole wordmark is made of colorful hand-drawn letters, with each letter set in its bright hue. Both “O”s here are replaced by images — the blue planet with detailed continents and a red smiling face on it, and a green softened square spiral for the second one.
Daily Planet
The visual identity of Daily Planet is also, obviously, based on the image of a planet. Here it is drawn in a minimalistic geometric style, with black contours and meridians, which make up squares on its surface. The black lines are overlapped by solid light-gray continents. The planet is decorated by a classy white ribbon with black borders and black uppercase lettering in a fancy handwritten serif typeface.
Discovery
The Discovery badge is definitely one of the most recognizable logos with a planet image. It makes the only graphical element of the badge, drawn in flat shades of blue and white, in quite a small size, at the bottom left corner of the composition, overlapping the vertical bar of the “D” in the bold geometric sans-serif wordmark, written across the white background in solid medium-dark gray lines.
Hyperion Entertainment
The visual identity of Hyperion Entertainment has more than one planetary symbol in it. The main one, a three-dimensional Saturn image, drawn in orange and black shades, takes the largest space in the rectangular banner. Another planet can be found instead of the dot above the “I”, followed by a larger one, replacing the letter “O”. The uppercase “Hyperion” is accompanied by the lowercase “Entertainment” in a futuristic typeface, which perfectly supports the space theme of the logo.
ISO
The laconic and strict ISO logo is executed in the flat blue and white color palette, with the stylized minimalistic planet set in the background, and overlapped by a massive lettering in an extra-bold traditional serif typeface. The heaviness of the bars in the inscription part is balanced by light and clean blue meridians of the graphical element, which creates a perfect combo.
JupiterOne
On the JupiterOne logo the emblem does not look clear and realistic, but thanks to the name of the company, you can guess what it is. A super stylish roundel in gradient shades of blue and green is placed in the left part of the composition, and decorated by horizontal white lines, with a small white dot at the bottom. On the right of the emblem, there is a delicate yet stable black title case lettering, which stabilizes the composition, and represents the professionalism of the company and its innovative approach.
NASA
And here we have one of the most iconic logos of all time, the NASA one. This legendary logo is based on an image of a blue roundel symbolizing the planet, decorated by the stars which represent space in general, and the red wings standing for aeronautics. The badge was created by NASA employee James Modarelli and approved by U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower in 1959, and no changes have been applied to it since then.
Planet 51
The super bright cartoonish logo of Planet 51, executed by acid-green gradients, has a stylized image of Saturn drawn in the top left corner, behind the first level of a voluminous inscription, executed in a massive designer sans-serif typeface with softened contours of the characters and digits. The bottom ends of the vertical oars of the “P” and the “T” have roundels, which support the spherical shape of the planet emblem.
Planet Coaster
The laconic and stylish logo of Planet Coaster has the image of a planet as its central element. Here it is drawn in a thick black contour and overlapped by a wide wavy orbit stylized as the camera film. The image is set against a plain white background and accompanied by massive geometric lettering in a sharp and modern sans-serif typeface, in plain black.
Planet Express
There is no explicit image of a planet on the Planet Express logo, but one can well imagine that the circle, which is the main element of the composition, is the celestial body. It is a roundel with a wide light yellow framing where the lettering is written in bold black geometric capitals, and a central part in solid burgundy, overlapped by a bright turquoise rocket, flying upright.
Planeta Faktów
There is only one element on the visual identity of Planeta Faktów, and it is planet Saturn. Drawn in plain gradients from red to blue, with a prevalence of orangy shades, it is placed on a transparent background without any framing or additional lettering. Simple, yet intense and eye-catching.
Planeta Xuxa
The Planet Xuxa logo is designed in a futuristic style with semi-transparent neon lines and a deep and dark background, which resembles the space void. The main element here is the lettering, written in two light-yellow lines, with the bottom one emboldened and executed in a rounded contoured sans-serif. The first “X” is significantly enlarged and has a pinkish gradient player drawn inside it. The planet is overlapped by two thin orbits, which also form a small “X”.
Radio România Actualitați
The planet on the Radio România Actualitǎți logo is drawn in a super stylish minimalistic way, with just four swoosh-like strokes in gray, blue, yellow, and red. The lines are set against a plain white background, above the extra-bold gray lettering, written in the title case of a traditional geometric sand-serif terrace. The lack of air inside the inscription is fully compensated by the airiness and lightness of the emblem.
Saturn Productions
As you can guess from the name of the company, the main element in the Saturn Productions logo is Saturn. The planet is drawn in a minimalistic black-and-white scheme with the body and the ring of the planet simply contoured. The name of the company is written in two lines, with the enlarged and emboldened “Saturn” overlapping the body of the planet, and the smaller and wider “Productions Inc.” — along the ring.
Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn visual identity is executed in an intense and cold color palette, composed of bright blue and silver-gray gradients. The emblem, placed above the futuristic sans-serif lettering in two levels, boasts a glossy blue sphere, intertwined by a silver three-dimensional cord with rounded cuts. The silver shades of the cord are supported by the color of the wordmark, and its shape resembles a stylized letter “S”.
Sherwin Williams
The visual identity of the Sherwin Williams coating producing and distributing company looks super cool and humorous despite its traditional and even restrained style. Executed in a blue, red, and white color palette, it is composed of an emblem, depicting a blue and white planet with a can of red paint spilling over its top, and delicate blue lettering in the italicized sans-serif font. The red paint area of the emblem boasts the company’s motto written on it, “Cover the Earth”.
StratusGrid
The visual identity of the software-developing company StratusGrid looks super progressive and cool, even though it is executed in a minimalistic black-and-white color palette and has all of the elements drawn in medium-thick lines. The emblem of the brand is set as a flat contoured roundel with the capital “G” inside and a rocket flying upright leaving a long trace intertwining the planet.
Syfy
Another logo with a large Saturn image on it is the Syfy one. Here the planet is drawn in a solid medium-dark shade of blue, with thin white accents on the ring. The emblem is accompanied by a modest and simple “SciFi” lettering, written at the bottom of the composition in the uppercase of a medium-weight sans-serif terrace with straight cuts of the bars.
United Nations
The planet on the United Nations logo is not just a celestial body, but a symbol of unity and togetherness. On this badge we see the planet from above and enclosed in a frame stylized as a laurel wreath, it looks very strong and symbolic. The blue and white color palette of the logo only enhances its meaningfulness, as blue is the color of freedom, confidence, and trustworthiness, while white is all about reliability and transparency.
Universal
The Universal Studios visual identity is one of the most economically logos with an image of a planet. Our Earth is drawn in black and white, with very realistic contours of the continents, and placed behind the slightly arched solid black “Universal” wordmark, executed in a modern geometric sans-serif typeface with distinctive contours of stable and sleek uppercase characters.
Wikipedia
The Wikipedia logo is not just a sphere in the form of an unfinished jigsaw puzzle, each piece of which has an element drawn on it, but also a stylized image of the globe, which is meant to explain the essence of the growing online library: bringing together information from all corners of the globe and distributing it across the earth. The three-dimensional emblem is accompanied by a modest serif lettering, written at the bottom in thin black bars.
