The Do’s and Dont’s of Logo Design

September 17, 2007 · 1 Comment

i just found them on the internet, quite smart tips for me,  hope it will do anygood for you to..

The “Don’ts” of Logo Design

  • heavy decorations
  • smooth gradient color transitions
  • the image of a living person
  • photography
  • complex imagery
  • culturally sensitive imagery
  • religious imagery or national flags unless you are committed to being associated with the connotations of such usage.

“The Do’s of Logo Design”

  • Keep it simple. The best shapes are geometric. Free form shapes will work.
  • Engage your audience with clever “tricks” or “hooks.”
  • Think ahead and choose a design that will last.
  • Use clean, crisp lines with limited colors.
  • Concentrate on adaptability. Make the logo suit any form in which it is likely to be reproduced.
  • Make it memorable.
  • Make the image relevant to your business. Always keep your products and services in mind.
  • Choose colors wisely.
  • Make sure your logo won’t be confused with that of another company.
  • Use your logo consistently across all your marketing materials to build brand recognition.
