Here are a few great sites for logo design inspiration.
logosauce: "To free logos from the hidden depths of the designers hard-drive. To expose logos great and small to the world for comment and adoration. To inspire great and fantastic logo design. To give logos their provenance and lastly to show people the path to enlightenment and more importantly to the source of the very logo artwork itself!" (from their about page)
A good selection of logos to browse through, nicely organized as well. They also have a competitions page where you have a chance to win money for your logo design skills.
LogoPond: A nice site with plenty of logos to check out. You can browse by popular and featured logos which is nice. They also have a job board, articles section, and resources section. The resources page has a list of books and fonts that you might check out.
It looks like they have recently redesigned the site because there seems to be some problems when viewing it in a smaller browser window. This makes navigating around a bit annoying - nobody likes to scroll horizontally. Still worth the look though.
lo8os: "Lo8os is a logo gallery and graphic design community. Our goal is to share design ideas, and inspire."
A little busier than the other previous two sites. I do like the gallery page(not the design so much, but the category idea). The logos are separated into albums - like Typography, Shapes, Enclosures and Crests, and others. It's a different way to look through logos - a little more specific than others. The selection is OK - not the greatest - it doesn't look like there have been any new submissions for awhile.
LogoBlog: "Logo Blog is dedicated to giving you unbiased, reliable and independent user based reviews and advice about Logos, and Logo Design Companies. Our Logo Design Company Directory is an extensive database of US based and International Logo Design Companies." (from their about page)
The link is actually to a blog post titled "Design Inspiration: 56 Most Creative Logos" - but the site itself has a lot of good information about logo design. It is definitely worth a look. They have a blog, a design directory of logos, a logo glossary, articles on building corporate identity through logo design - a great resource for anyone looking to design a logo or to find someone to design a logo for you or your business.
