What Makes A Good Business Logo?

Your business logo is more than just a picture. It is most likely the first visual aspect of your business that a customer will take in; and if the logo doesn’t translate very well, it may be the last. What makes for a good business logo? One that gets your message across simply and effectively, paints a picture of what you offer for goods or services, creates a lasting impression, and displays your honestly and integrity by expressing your originality.

The Three Parts to A Good Business Logo

Color Association Is Used To Your Advantage

Different colors signify different things. Blue is known to be calming, certain shades of yellow can make people feel happy and warm, and red is known as a more passionate, fiery color. The hues used in your logo should reflect the feeling you want your brand to bring to your customers.

Simple but Memorable

A busy logo is distracting to the customer and does not portray your message effectively. A simple logo that pertains to the services and products you provide will be more memorable to your customer base. A simple and memorable logo attracts new customers and helps established clients come back as return customers!

It is Unique
The logo of your competition may seem like “the best” but that’s just because their name is established as a memorable provider of the product or service offered. Copying the logo does’t relate your company to theirs, it just calls into question your honesty and integrity. Establish your business as the best option by creating an even more memorable logo of your own making, then beat out the competition even better by providing the best products and customer service.
