Working with logos can be a delicate process due to copyright issues, or frustrating when you can't get a good copy to use as a reference. Usually, when we see a logo, it's enough to right-click and download it, but many sites block that action or deliver a very low-quality copy. The Logo Grabber extension, compatible with Chrome and Firefox, helps you download logos from websites in the best available format, and all it asks is a click on its icon.
The ultimate goal of any brand is to develop a complete identity, conveying an idea that the consumer can visualize and associate immediately. Several companies achieved this through their logos, and it's not hard to find compelling examples. If I tell you about Coca-Cola, its logo just popped into your head. If I name Apple, the same happens. IBM and NeXT, with their logos designed by the legendary Paul Rand. What about Nike? No matter where you are or what language they speak, you already know what it's about. That's the power a logo hides, and if you want to learn more, you must learn from the best. The first step is to get copies of their logos to study them closely, absorb their strengths, and spot their mistakes.
How to download logos with Logo Grabber
Logo Grabber is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that lets you download the main logos of websites with a single click. The interface displays a sort of preview (not the final size), and if it detects a logo, it offers a download in PNG format with transparent background. I say "if it detects" because Logo Grabber doesn't work on all sites. Some designers embed logos in a very obscure and particular way that blocks Logo Grabber's extraction capabilities, and the only way to proceed is to inspect the page and go through its internal structure.
Logo Grabber is a development by Oqtor, and the company uses the extension to promote its "Design API" aimed at creating new "custom" experiences for each client. Now, the question is: do we really need an extension to download logos? That depends on each user, but we can't deny its convenience. Some sites prevent the context menu, and if you don't feel like taking the scenic route using the browser inspector or searching for another version of the logo in Google Images, one-click downloading is much faster.
