30 Most Inspirational Blog Designs

It’s been a while since my latest inspirational web design post and I felt that it was time to get inspired yet again! After the amazing success of inspirational light designs and the phenomenal response to inspirational dark designs as well as inspirational designer’s designs, it is time to showcase inspirational blog designs.

.
.
Today, I’ve collected thirty inspirational blog designs. I attempted to make this inspiration post as diverse as possible, featuring well-known blogs, lesser known blogs, bright blogs, dark blogs, and everything in between. Keep in mind that I am also trying my best to keep designs that have already been featured out of this post. If I missed a cool design that you think should be on this list, drop a comment and let me know!

    Great collection again~
    But I notice there are some duplications from David’s – -

    I like Cottonseed Oil Tour and the idea of making website 3D-like.
    Also the Veerle’s website, “pure 2D” and very cute~~

    @Youri – Thanks and good luck!

    @David – No problem and great design.

    @Zhu – Agreed – all of these designs are just amazing!

    @Fish – I’d never been to David’s site before. I guess there are a couple of similarities but that’s what happens when an amazing new design hits the internet ;)

    Hi Brian,

    Loving the Hicks Design blog. It’s one of my favourites. Thanks for the Logo Design Love mention!

    Komodo is good for having a nice creative landscape-esque design.

    Gotta tell ya, though. GoMedia is probably my favorite.

    Lastly, I hate to say this because I think she’s an amazing illustrator and all… but Veerle’s blog becomes more and more cluttered-looking each time I visit. I just feel like I can’t focus when I look at it.

    Very nice list, Matt’s site has been on my list of favorites since I first saw it. Beautiful and Inspirational!

    Great list, with a few of my favorites and several others I hadn’t seen before. I’m really liking Rob Sheridan’s Sketchblog.

    Thanks for adding 10 Volt Media.
