A logo generally refers to a graphic or pictorial graph or emblem used by commercial enterprises, organizations or at times even individuals for the promotion of instant public recognition, fame and thus, sales. The following article provides a set of complete guidelines for designing the perfect logo for your firm/company/brand that will help in increasing its popularity and thus, its sales, manifold. Here is a step wise procedure:
Principles of effective logo design
Following are the effective rules and principles of designing a meaningful logo:
- Make it simple: Make sure to design a logo that is easily memorable and recognisable. Do try to make it unique, but at the same time, do not complicate or overdraw it.
- Make it timeless: Keep in mind the important factor of timelessness of your logo. Think with the perspective of it still being applicable, even 50 years from the date of its creation. Do not go with ideas in current vogue, which might lose their relevance with time.
- Make it versatile: A point worth being paid attention to is that it should be versatile and usable in all formats, applications and mediums. It should also work and not lose its identity when used in a single colour.
- Make it appropriate: Keep in mind the fact that underneath all the show, flashiness and design; the logo must not fail to serve the purpose for which it has been designed. It should clearly portray the brand or firm which it has to advertise.
Learn from the experiences of others
Having learnt about the rules and principles of good logo designing above, one can conveniently distinguish between a good and a bad logo now. Take a good look at the successful as well as the failed logos prevailing in the market.
