Now that you understand what a logo can do for your business, look at what it actually takes to create a good logo. These elements work together to create successful logo designs:
- Typography – A logo usually has a typographic element, ranging from monograms to the full business title.
- Imagery – Sometimes typography accompanies icons or symbols that represent something about your business and what purpose it serves.
- Color – Logos range from black and white to multicolored to monochrome. It’s just important to pick a palette that works as either complementary or analogous.
- Context – Think about when and where logos get applied and how that will fit into creating it. It may look different on your storefront or online than it would on other marketing materials, such a business card.
