There are a few sites offering free downloads of big brand logos, for those who need it. I don’t know how legal it is (and I would assume somewhere near 0%), but I guess you should be happy if your logo is being sought after and distributed as just your logo. Basically, the success of a logo is when it is so strong by itself that your whole brand is represented by it. Again, I don’t really understand why you would want to download the logos of Chrysler, Chupa Chups, ESPN, Esso, Goodyear, Miramax, Mitsubishi, Orange, Puma, Tati, and Tropicana, but they are all there and all logos are in vector (Illustrator EPS) format, meaning it is scalable, editable, and printable.

So, if you are collecting brands, learning how to use Illustrator, or simply into anything illegal no matter what, have a look at www.logotypes.ru and www.brandsoftheworld.com. But these site prove us that having access to a lot of successful logos doesn’t necessarily help you get a good one for yourself.
