1. This type logo is based on the hatchet shape of the Lambeosaurus' most distinguishing physical characteristic, it's crest. Because the dinosaur itself is was a non-threatening herbivore with a beak and an oddly-shaped crest on top of its head, I made this logo non-threatening and a bit goofy. The orange color is a color that may have been one of the bright colors on the crest.

2. The hatchet shaped crest on the top of the Lameosaurus' head was theorized to have made noise and act as a method of inter species communication. The rings around the dinosaur's name indicate the sound waves emanating from the dinosaur. They also symbolise the rows, also called batteries, of teeth the dinosaur had. The orange color is a color that may have been one of the bright colors on the crest. The font, Fabada, has rounded serifs and a personality that matches the visual style of the other elements.

3. This type based logo mimics the hatchet shape of the Lambeosaurus' most distinguishing physical characteristic, it's crest. The orange color is a color that may have been one of the bright colors on the crest. The type, Nexa Bold, provided a solid base for the graphic that matches the clean, rounded style of the crest icon.
