Growth is the idea behind any business. In order for a business
to grow, it should be able to market its services or products to
customers. A service without a brand or logo is like a child without a
name. However beautiful or talented a child may be, it is the name which
brings the recognition. It is a similar story for a brand.
In
order to create a unique identity, branding of a product or service is
very important. The first step in branding will be the creation of a
logo. Logos are simply graphic representations or symbols of a company
name, trademark or abbreviation and are used for instant recognition. A
logo derives its meaning from symbolism and there is nothing conveyed
directly. However in symbolism lies the power to attract and showcase
the product or company might. A good logo must be instantly
recognisable, must inspire trust, loyalty, admiration and an implied
superiority. A good logo is basically a great concept or company value
perfectly executed to convey the meaning in layman terms.
There
are a lot of logo designers around but it is only the special ones who
can creatively think out of the box, who will make a difference to your
business. Nowadays, a number of websites are also available wherein the
logos can be created online and this has helped many small and medium
enterprises.
When designing a logo, consistency must be maintained
so that it is easy to impress the human mind. It must be meaningful and
easily recognisable as a symbol to stay in the minds of potential
clients. Logos must be unique and be designed to stand the test of time
since the entire business revolves around a logo. Further, the logo as
such must be scalable since it is likely to be used that it in any place
right from a letterhead to a bill board during the course of marketing.
In the aesthetic sense, a unity is required among the different
elements and good colour contrast in order to be easy on the eyes.
Thus
logo design is a complex process defining the very soul of your
business. Further, client requirements and company values must be
clearly understood and the industry and competitors must be researched
in detail before work is started.
In many cases, the customers are
so carried away by the Logo and brand that they simply forget who is
exactly behind it. It is this blind trust that should be gained and in
many cases, it is the logo and the recognition that commands more money
than the brand or service itself. Honesty is thus very important as it
will take even lesser time for the brand to be hated by individuals if
the product quality does not match customer expectations.
