We’ve got a pool of talented logo designers and graphic designer to design high quality logo that reduce cost and create srtong branding for our clients.
A logo is the image which represents a company or its product. Its
function is to create a memorable, recognizable impression on the mind
of a potential client or customer. A logo is essentially at the heart
of a corporate identity.
There are three basic types of logos, which can be used alone or combined
within one design:
- illustrative logos (a
logo which clearly illustrates what your company does),
- graphic logos (a logo that
includes a graphic, often an abstraction, of what your company
does), and
- font-based
logos (a text treatment which represents your company)
Creating a logo is always a process - though different designers
have their own methods. Our designers will begin by sketching thumbnails
or playing with shapes on the computer screen, until something "clicks" and
they follow that path to see where it leads.
One way to start is to
select a shape which represents the concept of the company, and begin
playing with it. The idea is to come up with something interesting or
clever, whether a viewpoint which is different, or an unusual combination
of shapes. Perhaps it will be something which will require some guesswork
on the part of the viewer, but then be crystal clear when they look
at it another way.
Our designers prefer to developing logos beginning with, or consisting
entirely of text. By experimenting with fonts, size, shapes they seek
to find an interesting way to represent the company using the form of
letters. Again, simplicity is extremely important - this is not the
time to use fancy decorative fonts. Whether alone or combined with graphic
elements, the text in a logo must be easily readable at small sizes
.
A logo (from the Greek λογότυπος =
logotipos) is a graphic element, symbol, or icon of a trademark or brand and
together with its logotype, which is set in a unique typeface or
arranged in a particular way. A typical logo is designed to cause
immediate recognition by the viewer. The logo is one aspect of the brand of
a company or economic entity, and the shapes, colors, fonts and images
are usually different from others in a similar market. Logos may
also be used to identify organizations or other entities in non-economic
contexts.
Overview
Logo is an iconic symbol designed to represent a company, organization,
product, service, and sometimes certain places (e.g.,Canada).
In recent times the term 'logo' has been used to describe signs,emblems, coats
of arms, symbols and even flags.
In this article several examples of true logos are displayed, which
may generally be contrasted with emblems, or marks, which include non-textual
graphics of some kind. Emblems with non-textual content are considered
one aspect of a complete logo.
Distinct aspects of a complete logo:
- Logotype; /Wordmark/Lettermark:
text or abbreviated text
- Icon:
symbol / brandmark
- Slogan:
description of the company
The uniqueness of a logo is often necessary to avoid confusion in the
marketplace among clients, suppliers, users, affiliates, and the general
public. To the extent that a logo achieves this objective, it may function
as a trademark, and may be used to uniquely identify businesses, organizations,
events, products or services. Once a logo is designed, one of the most
effective means for protecting it is through registration as a trademark,
so that no unauthorised third parties can use it, or interfere with
the owner's use of it.
There are several elements of a good logo. An effective logo—
- should be unique, and not subject to confusion with other logos
among viewers
- is functional and can be used in many different contexts while retaining
its integrity
- should remain effective whether reproduced small or large
- can work in "full-color", but also in two color
presentation (black and white), spot
color, or halftone
- should be able to maintain its integrity when printed on various
fabrics or materials (where the shape of the product may distort the
logo)
- displays basic design principles (space, color, form, consistency,
and clarity)
- represents the brand/company appropriately
Logos today
Red
Cross and the Red
Crescent logos.
Today there are many corporations, products, services, agencies and
other entities using a sign or emblem as logo. As a result, only a few
of the thousands of signs people are faced with are recognized without
a name. It makes less sense to use a sign as a logo, even together with
the name, if people will not duly identify it. Therefore, the trend
in the recent years has been to use both images (icons) and the company
name to emphasize the name instead of the supporting graphic portion,
making it unique by its letters, color, and additional graphic elements.
Emblems (icons) may be more effective than a written name, especially
for logos being translated into many alphabets;
for instance, a name in the Arabic
language would be of little help in most European markets. A sign
or emblem would keep the general proprietary nature of the product in
both markets. In non-profit areas, the Red
Cross (which goes by Red
Crescent in Muslim countries) is an example of an extremely well
known emblem which does not need an accompanying name. Branding aims
to facilitate cross-language marketing. The Coca-cola logo can be identified
in any language because of the standards of color and the iconic ribbon
wave.
Brand slogans
Sometimes a slogan is
included in the logo. If the slogan appears always in the logo, and
in the same graphic shape, it can be considered as part of the logo.
In this case it is a brand slogan also called a claim,
a tagline or
an endline in the advertising industry. The main purpose is
to support the identity of the brand together
with the logo. The difference between a slogan and a brand
slogan is that brand slogan remains the same for a long
time to build up the brand's image, while different slogans link
to each product or advertising campaign.
Color
Color is important to the brand recognition, but should not be an integral
component to the logo design, which would conflict with its functionality.
Some colors are associated with certain emotions that the designer wants
to convey. For instance, loud colors, such as red, that are meant to
attract the attention of drivers on freeways are appropriate for companies
that require such attention. In the United States red, white, and blue
are often used in logos for companies that want to project patriotic
feelings. Green is often associated with health foods, and light blue
or silver is often used to reflect diet foods. For other brands, more
subdued tones and lower saturation can communicate dependability, quality,
relaxation, etc.
Color is also useful for linking certain types of products with a
brand. Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) are linked to hot food and
thus can be seen integrated into many fast food logos. Conversely, cool
colors (blue, purple) are associated with lightness and weightlessness,
thus many diet products have a light blue integrated into the logo.
Logo design is commonly believed to be one of the most important areas
in graphic
design, thus making it the most difficult to perfect. The logo,
or brand, is not just an image, it is the embodiment of an organization.
Because logos are meant to represent companies and foster recognition
by consumers it is counterproductive to redesign logos often.
When designing (or commissioning) a logo, practices to encourage
are to
- avoid being over-the-top in an attempt to be unique
- use few colors, or try to limit colors to spot
colors (a term used in the printing industry)
- avoid gradients (smooth color transitions) as a distinguishing feature
- produce alternatives for different contexts
- design using vector
graphics, so the logo can be resized without loss of fidelity
- be aware of design or trademark infringements
- include guidelines on the position on a page and white space around
the logo for consistent application across a variety of media (a.k.a.
brand standard manual)
- not use a specific choice clip-art as
a distinguishing feature
- not use the face of a (living) person
- avoid photography or complex imagery as it reduces the instant recognition
a logo demands
- avoid culturally sensitive imagery, such as religious icons or national
flags, unless the brand is committed to being associated with any
and all connotations such imagery may evoke
