Tips for High Quality Logos What to Look for In a Logo

Logos represent a company's identity, and logos are typically part of a larger concept. Logos are an integral part of establishing brand recognition which is a very time consuming process. For these reasons, particular care should be taken when designing or selecting a logo. Think of a logo as an iconic symbol or graphical representation of your corporate image.

Simplicity - Logos should not be overly complex, while unique is important, simple logos tend to stand the test of time far better than complicated logos.

Colors - Select only a few colors to use in the logo. It is rare that successful logos have more than 3 colors as an integral part of their design.

Scalable - Logos should be easily scaled. Scaleability will allow the logo to be reproduced in multiple mediums.

Memorable - Logos should be easily remembered. Ultimately the image selected for a logo should evoke positive emotions from customers or potential customers.
