Business Logos
Logo design is one of the first steps in developing a corporate identity for your business. Logos need to meet a number of stringent qualifications:
- look good in black and white as well as full color
- be recognizable in small as well as large sizes
- be simple enough to get the message across quickly
- contain positive symbolism and avoid negative symbolism
Overall, the logo needs to have unity and coherence. The time spent developing a logo is a long-term investment. Logos can be updated as your company grows, but the basic form should remain recognizable and unchanged. The intricacies of designing for a global marketplace have created an increased need for expert knowledge of symbolism and color in order to design logos that appeal to a multi-cultural audience.
Design Research
Appropriate symbols are important in a wide range of design situations. Whether you are creating an invitation for a business conference or a family heraldry shield, you may need some design and symbolism research to choose just the right image to use.
Design situations that may require consulting services include:
- conference, party or wedding invitations
- personal or family shields, crests or coat of arms
- personal logo or symbol
- special symbolic, personalized present
- decor for symbolic event
