Principles of Effective Logo Design

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EFFECTIVE LOGO AND A NON EFFECTIVE LOGO

A good Logo Design is simple, creative and memorable, if it is easy to reproduce it is memorable.  The logo serves its purpose and communicates the message that you want to communicate to your target market group without necessarily being too obvious, the way it communicates your message is simple and abstract.  A great logo design is appropriate for all uses whether it may be a website, brand identity, business card or any other uses.  The colours of the logo should be kept simple also, as too many colours will avoid making the logo memorable, most famous logos don’t have more than two colours.

A logo created just by anyone can be a disaster and can just make your business lose money by not helping your business make the necessary sales it needs to make because for a customer to purchase your products and services they will want to see a brand that they can trust.  A poorly designed logo will not have a valuable meaning behind it, while a professionally and well designed logo will provide trust, value and will help your business succeed.
