Everyone who does logo design knows how hard it is to find the right font. Mainly if you have 100s or 1000s of fonts in your library it may take hours to find the ONE – speaking from my own experience. After certain time period I figured there are fonts I was using over and over. Seems they were perfect for logo design. Because of that, I put together a collection of 20 from my point of view ideal free fonts for our purpose. I am not saying they will be perfect for each single logo, but I am sure they will save you plenty of time :). Download and enjoy!
