Explore what makes a useful business logo, how to prepare for a design project and how to use your visual identity consistently across digital and print channels.
A logo helps people recognise your business, but it works best alongside consistent colours, typography, imagery and messaging. The design should suit your audience and the kind of service or product you provide.
Before design begins, explain what your business does, who it serves, what makes it different and where the logo will appear. Share examples you like and dislike, but explain why they appeal to you instead of asking for a copy of another brand.
A logo needs to remain clear at different sizes and on different backgrounds. Consider website headers, social profiles, invoices, signage and print. Ask which file formats and colour variations will be supplied so you can use the design in practical situations.
A design can look attractive but still be difficult to read or unsuitable for your audience. Look for clarity, distinctiveness, versatility and consistency with your business positioning. Make sure any fonts, images or other assets are appropriately licensed.
Once your identity is established, use the same approved logo files, colours and typography across your website and marketing materials. Consistency helps customers recognise your business and makes future marketing easier to manage.
