Great Topic!! Hope this thread takes off. Here are a few that come to mind.
1. One of the coolest logos has always been Klein's Lineman
2. Old Diamond with the diamond and the horseshoe
3. Coleman's the "Sunshine of the Night"
4. Old Jacobs chuck w/fancy font
5. Japanese chisel with an engraved dragon with brass eyes.

I've got a couple of cool European ones, but they don't photograph well.
Lachappelle is a plane maker, the logo on mine took a lot of work to track down. Here are some cleaner shots

Then there is EA Berg, an edge tool maker out of Sweden. Often referred to as Shark Brand (since it is shark month here)

Pretty unique logo on a Champion-DeArment No. 516 slip-joint pliers that I've got.

That is a unique way to promote their aluminum pipe wrenches! If it didn't have the Ridge Tool Company fine print, it would seem like a knock-off!

I think Herbrand look cool, at least the coolest I have.

I like the Stiletto logo although I don’t run across them very often.

Actually, I think the Utica 3-diamond logo is pretty cool looking.

Great thread idea! Thanks to RTM for directing me here. I think it might be a great resource for identifying Manufacturers when the name is obscure.
Here’s my first contribution, and most recent puzzle, solved.
Smith & Hemenway crown/anchor logo. S&H may be better known by their Red Devil line. “Red Devil“ as a brand later split, the pliers acquired by Crescent, and the various “goop” products and putty knives remaining an independent company.
Sadly (to me), no relation to the “red devil” DarDevle spoon lure manufactured by Eppinger.

Congrats, LS, for the second time. Terrific logo, and the first time I have ever seen it on a tool!
This....
...is not exactly accurate, though.
Mssrs. Smith & Hemenway had the split. The company was bought by Crescent, who used the "Red Devil" brand on all kinds of products, including hack saw frames. (I have one.) Mr. Hemenway concentrated his efforts on the Irvington Mfg Co., one of S&H's suppliers, where he had already been a board member. He also started using the "Red Devil" brand name, particularly on Irvington's painting products, which S&H had never made/sold to my knowledge, eventually adopting the name - in Champion DeArment/Channellock fashion, for the company itself, which ultimately focused exclusively on those products. I have never dug deep enough to understand how he was legally able to use the former S&H brand name, or why Crescent let him, but I suspect he may have felt a sense of ownership (probably coming up with it himself), and the name died out at Crescent and obviously flourished at Irvington, and ultimately, in Union, NJ.
I wonder if the old man in Hemenway's (intentionally sic) classic "The Old Man and the Sea" used a "Red Devil" lure?
We have an S&H thread, by the way. See Index in Sticky.

Yes, Lugz, I read that too. I felt my abridgment was essentially true, and getting a little lengthy for a thread asking for pics and IDs, rather than company histories.
And no, Santiago was a live-bait man, I am afraid. Not a sportsman.

True enough. Probably didn't need to be corrected. My bad.I felt my abridgment was essentially true, and getting a little lengthy for a thread asking for pics and IDs, rather than company histories.
Yes, of course, but I couldn't think of a more clever way to make the allusion!LesserSon said:

Here is a clever one. H. K. Porter cast their initials into the handles of their bolt cutters. The logo on the WW2 wire cutters is a little more subtle.

Just stumbled across a wrench while digging thru a box of rusted hardware, American Bosch Magneto, and thanks to people here, I recognized the logo without a magnifier, and thought it belonged here. Not my pic, etc, but you know it, Fritz the Flyer

Close to that, big and little open end plus the kickstand. Will add the photo in a minute, but it’s a poor stamp, so not a great one to show here. Was going to measure, Yada yada, then post pic.
1/4”, 7/16”, and a 0.020” feeler gauge kickstand.

Do you know the name of the OJ logo? Is it SDF or is the S-shape a snake/serpent/rope?
Those wrenches have a little Blue Point Supreme look going on.

I don’t know anything about them except that they seemed to be too cool to leave behind especially since they were a complete set.

Now there is a logo that fits the title of this thread. Very cool!
I’ve posted this before but I still think it’s cool.
