Some clever people work for burger joints, and not all of them are in the kitchen. As burger-centric restaurants have become more sophisticated, the look and feel have followed suit. Names have become more playful. And logos have become more stylish, more memorable. A good logo should say more than “We serve burgers.” It should communicate a bit of the flavor of the concept and signal the creative culture. To qualify for this list of burger logos, a restaurant had to have the word “burger” (“brgr” counts) in its name (if you’re a burger restaurant, wear it with pride) and the concept could have no more than five locations (i.e no chains). This is the BurgerBusiness.com list; no doubt yours is different. Perhaps your list includes the logo for your burger joint. If so, or if you just know of a great one, feel free to send it to BurgerBusinessBlog@gmail.com. Everyone loves a good sequel.
