Your customers will form an opinion on your brand based on your logo within seconds. You want your logo to introduce your brand with confidence, professionalism, and trustworthiness. We know you have a strong vision for your brand, and your logo should seamlessly communicate your vision to your customers.
Here are the three most important aspects to consider when creating your logo:
1
COLORS
One important way your logo establishes your brand’s personality is through colors. Companies often have their brand’s color(s) present in their logo to strengthen overall brand identity and awareness.
As Linguistics and Culture Review discusses, colors denote specific emotions. For example, blue is associated with peace and integrity.
When choosing your brand and logo colors, consider what emotions you want your customers to feel when they see your logo.
This is one way to make sure your logo will fit effortlessly into your brand identity.
2
READABILITY
Your logo is not stagnant. It will likely appear in front of various backgrounds and colors, interacting with other media, and needs to remain readable wherever it is placed.
Sage Journals discusses this importance, stating “Readability deals with the overall intellectual understanding of this information… even if its letters are fragmented, deformed or even absent which, in some cases, have been strategic and conscious approaches in the context of dynamic logos.”
Additionally, your logo should be scalable for different sizes it might be consumed, such as business cards or on phone screens.

MEMORABILITY
A memorable logo involves more than just the visual appeal, An exceptional logo helps your audience understand your brand’s values, mission, and personality. The overall design of your logo, from the colors to the font and the tagline, play a role in strengthening the memorability of your brand. A memorable logo acts as a powerful tool communicating your brand’s story and leaving a positive impression.
