    Short answer: No
    Long answer: Don't do it. Logos take up too much valuable space.

    +1 to Dave's comment. Think of your resume as <insert your favorite candy or snack here> = short, sweet, and to the point. But leaves you wanting more.

    You forgot the Certified Ethical Hacker logo. That usually gets recruiters excited.
    If at first you do succeed, try something harder.

    I don't think logos are inherently bad but man those are beyond ugly and they look horrible; spacing and what not. If you want to put all those logos they need to be chopped down to about 75% their current size, uniformly lined up in a DPI that matches the rest of the document.

    I don't have any logos on mine. I would only put them on a website advertising yourself and thats it. Never-never-never on a resume'

    You should probably avoid spilling generic M&M's all over your resume too. ;)

    I've always been against logos on resume. The ones you presented look REALLY bad.

    @HLRS: What you can do is place them after your name on your resume
    For example:

    It's a resume, not a clown car.

    No. Logos look bad on resumes. Most certification vendor logos look exceptionally bad on resumes. CompTIA and Microsoft in particular. Don't do it.

    Contrary to what appears to be popular opinion I put logos on my resume but I have a page dedicated for education and certifications (I also don't like a one page resume). I have not had issues with using logos and my current resume had gotten me several face to face interviews when I was in the job market. I earned the right to use the brand recognition that the logos can bring. I also make sure that it is well formatted and that I use high resolution images. I have a text version of my resume that gets uploaded to sites for the search crawl.

    If you going to use logos on your resume it needs to look good.
    Thanks, Tom

    Don't do it.

    In fact, most resumes are converted to a simpler text based format for keyword dings that HR is looking for, at least in larger companies.

    Tip: The Enterprise Desktop Support Technician logo implies that you have the Windows 7, configuration cert, so it is not necessary to put both. Just put the EDST logo on things, except your resume. As the other guys on here have said, resumes should be short and to-the-point.
