##  [ Creating Logos With Negative Space ](/articles/creating-logos-negative-space) 

  Submitted by [Ashley Lukasik](/whois/4468) on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - 10:59 

 It’s hard to beat a clever use of negative space in logo design. Here are 35 or so logos that use white space well, along with the designers/agencies responsible.

Sometimes all it takes is a creative team, with a new set of eyes to help bring your logo to life!
