A good logo is clever, enticing and captures the true spirit of the company that it belongs to. In a sense your company logo serves as a first impression, so it’s very important to choose a design that represents your business accurately. If you’re on the market for a new logo or are trying to rebrand and old one, here are a few great tips to follow to make sure that you create a logo that your company and its customers can be proud of:
2. Visualize your brand. Think about your target audience and the message that you want your logo to portray. Brainstorm your logo with an idea board, listing all of the thoughts that you have about your brand and its goals. It’s not enough to slap a cute image up with a company name across it. Your logo should have a subtle meaning behind it that is unique to your company.
3. Use the power of color. Not only are color choices essential to the overall aesthetics and attention grabbing ability of your logo, but the colors you choose can actually affect the emotional response that your logo produces. For example, red signals that a company is energetic and bold, while blue signals that they are professional and trustworthy. For a full list of color meanings, click here.
4. Think about using the company name. It very common for companies to use a variation of their company name as their logo, which is called Logotype. If your brand has a unique name, you may be able to pull off a Logotype design, but be sure to choose a font that matches your brand style.
5. Keep it simple. As they say, “less is more.” Keeping your logo clean cut, yet quirky will not only resonate well with your customers, but it will make it easier to display your logo across multiple media platforms. With digital marketing at the forefront of many business branding efforts, you’ll want to make sure that you logo is flexible enough to be transformed slightly to work with each social media, news or marketing outlet.
