A logo is a graphical element that signifies a trademark or brand. Within the context of Transformers, every franchise has one or more logos associated with it, and some sub-lines have received that treatment as well.
This article is a non-comprehensive gallery of prominent logos associated with the Transformers brand. See Category:Logos for the most complete index of logos on TFWiki.net.

Notes
[edit]- The logo used beginning with Armada was designed by Kirk Grathwald, and was referred internally as the "test tube logo".<ref>{{#if: Yeah, that logo was created by a guy named Kirk Grathwald, I'm pretty sure. We called it the test tube logo for a long time [...] it was kind of like a little beaker with, you know, like the Tesla tubes with the lightning going through them. That was kind of our inspiration at the time. So we use that for a while and it was really cool to use something consistently for a while, that you developed, it really makes the era that I was fortunate to help lead cohesive, that was my mentality, and the mentality of everybody working at the time, was trying to make sense of everything, so we wanted to kind of... breadcrumbs, to the next, and the next, and Universe is not so far from Armada, you know, so that people could navigate it easier. |"Yeah, that logo was created by a guy named Kirk Grathwald, I'm pretty sure.
