Hey guys,
I had this thought after looking at some foreign merchandise that I own, from Greece of course and it intrigued me so I thought to myself: "Would this logo look good with English text?"
In this portfolio, I will choose a few logos, as well as take requests from you guys to prove whether foreign logos look better with the language everyone in the world is forced to learn.
The criteria is fairly simple, read before anyone suggests these kind of logos:
Now that that's out of the way..
For my first entry (I could not have chosen a noisier image..) the logo that piqued my interest in the first place: Panionios GSS, a soccer club in Athens, Greece.
(No, not all these logos will be Greek, unless people suggest all Greek logos!)
The font was Arial, pretty stock-standard for Greek writing, and this logo was no exception. Interesting to note that the top text is squished vertically a little, but the GSS text is unedited. It frankly looks out of place due to the roundness of the letters.
Verdict: It may look a little more professional, but the English version is not better than the Greek version. The block letters of Π, Γ and Σ look so much better than the rounded P, G and S.

The criteria is fairly simple, read before anyone suggests these kind of logos:
- ONLY foreign alphabets (no English language on it whatsoever):
- No logos with English equivalents (e.g. Hellenic FF logo):
- Translations may be in order for similar alphabets (French, German, Italian etc.)
- No logos with English equivalents (e.g. Hellenic FF logo):
