Keep it simple - the most powerful and memorable logos are the simplest. Complicated logos with too much going on will lose impact and look ‘Cheesy’ tacky.
Know the Concept – every great logo has a story to tell.
Timeless design – The best icons stand the test of time. Don’t rely on trends as they come and go and can quickly look dated and tacky.
Colour is important – Colours connect subconsciously the feel and emotions behind a brand, a great design should work in colour and in black and white.
Choose a compatible font – poor choice of font or using too many fonts can make your overall design look and seem un-professional. Its important to keep all your font consistent. 2-3 fonts max!
Originality – creating a bespoke logo designed specifically to your brief ensures your logo is unique to your business, using generic logo design software or stock art images can be a big mistake when you discover someone else is using the same design.
Keep it Consistent – Consistency is absolutely key in building an audience.
