What To Consider When Creating A Logo And How Our Design Services Can Help

When you think of logos you most likely think of the great ones, the memorable, and the ones that stick with you. When you start thinking about creating a logo for your company remember it has to be unique enough to make a lasting impression. Creating a one-of-a-kind logo is not by any means easy. It requires time, patience, and many steps. Before you start creating your very own logo make sure you don’t forget to consider these key points.

1.) What colors best suit your company?                      

  • Colors are a way of expression and they bring out emotions in everyone. All colors bring out different emotions and it’s necessary to choose colors that represent what your company stands for.  If you choose red as your color, it will be active, passionate, and intense. One example is Red Bull, they use the color red and it’s a perfect choice for their company. Red Bull is supposed to supply their customers with energy which will keep them active throughout the day.

So just what do these colors express? Here is an infographic to further explain some of the most popular colors.

2.) Look at your selection of fonts

  • Fonts are very similar to colors because they also spark emotion. If your company is energetic and fun you will want to go with a font that expresses those emotions. If your company is supposed to express strength and being bold such as Under Armour, it’s probably best not to choose a cursive, floral font. Selecting a font is just as important as the color because of the emotion factor. It’s all about matching who and what your company is. Fonts can help convey messages to customers instantly. 

3.) Understanding the many different logo types

  • This can be a bit tricky because there are so many types of logos and aspects to consider. You have to examine how it will look across your overall company collateral. Then consider the emotional response your customers will have. The emotional response all comes back to choosing the right colors and fonts. A company logo isn’t just a symbol, it’s the core of the company. In many cases it’s the first thing your customers see and you want them to respond in a positive way. Let’s go over some of the top types of logos. 

1. Lettermark Logo 

Lettermarks are using the initials of the company or the first letter of the company. Many companies such as HP and Chanel use this method because it’s more appealing. Using the whole name would be too long, or perhaps the name is hard to pronounce. These are all reasons why companies would choose the Lettermark type of logo. Take ABC for example, it’s full company name is “American Broadcasting Company.” The full name is too long and wouldn’t be as easy to remember. Creating a lettermark for certain companies makes it easier for customers to recollect.  logo-design 2. Symbol Logo 

Using a symbol is harder to come up with but often times creates more of an impact. If you’re planning on having a big business having a symbol logo is the way to go. The reason is symbol logos are much easier for people to remember because they are simple and unique. The fun part about symbol Logos is you can create clever twist within them which highlights what your company does. Just take companies like the Goodwill and Baskin Robbins for Example.

3. Wordmark Logo

These are going to be custom designed fonts which spell out the whole name of the company. These typically use a creative arrangement that will leave not only a lasting impression but a unique logo. It solely represents the company on its use of creatively adding flare to the original name. This type of logo can be easily read and understood since they are using the exact company name. Be prepared to get innovative and think of something new, because you want the finished product to inspire your customers and one of the best examples up-to-date is Visa.

4. Emblem Logo 

The emblem logo is continually growing. This logo uses the company name within a detailed design. Emblem logos give the best of both worlds, meaning you can use the full name of your company and a design to give it distinction. This logo is very popular because it combines the two, from famous ones to the newest; they are all great.  logo-design
