Dinosaurs were the largest animals on earth and became extinct millions of years ago, however, to this day, for most, these animals represent strength and power.
Today, dinosaurs appear not only in movies, comic books, computer games, and books but also in logos. The image of a dinosaur in its traditional sense symbolizes the possession of great physical strength, toughness, extreme resilience, and endurance. However, the image of a cheerful dinosaur can speak of kindness and love of adventure from entertainment.
The image of a dinosaur – a very powerful image, which is quite rare in the logos of large companies. For the most part, this animal is stylized or drawn in a friendly cartoon manner, using the logos of brands associated with the entertainment and children’s industry. However, there are some exceptions. For example, sports teams, which with emblems in the form of dinosaurs just show their strength and make opponents wary.
