Fonts Used In Logos of Popular Design Blogs

I got in touch with a good number of design blogs with one question – What font do you use in your logo? I got back a hefty amount of responses and found out the rest through some top notch detective work (a special thanks goes out to all those who replied back).

We’ve got quite a diverse amount of fonts to keep you interested, so have at it soldier!

    Great post, I never thought about the connection that typefaces have with these brands until now.

    I like the clean look of Fontin Sans and the Freelance Folder logo.

    Keep the good posts coming.
