A great brand identity or logo is a true reflection of the business it symbolizes. It represents a thoughtful and meaningful organization and its core values.

Logo when used effectively creates a 'personality' for your brand and invites people to get associated with it. The same perception should be communicated via all touch points to reflect a consistent brand image. Your brand represents your mission, your vision, and, in essence, your services/products. It’s what you say, how you sound, how you look, and even how you act. It all adds up to an authentic representation of who you really are.

Below are 7principals of modern day’s logo design:

Unique Identity: Usually when creating a new identity with a new name it is critical to ensure the legibility of the name. You are asking people to recognize a new brand and sometimes even learn a new word. Make it legible and don’t make them work too hard. The goal for the best logo is to have a single, bold expression that would separate itself from its surroundings.

  1. Engaging with Brand Loyalist: In Digital age, everyone is working hard to grab attention. Brands succeed when they break through crowd culture. Branding techniques should generate cultural relevance to connect to their audience. Also today, the way and speed with which people discover, process and share information has changed. If your brand logo resonate with wider culture, your fans will create content for your brand and hence turn into brand loyalist.
  2. Associating Brand Name: Corporates spend significant amount of money & effort on marketing to associate their name with logo/symbol. A great logo design should solve this problem. Look at logos of brand such a Nike or Apple, they have avoid double identification i.e. symbol & name separately.

  3. Brand Extensions: There is a critical symbiotic relationship between brand logos and brand extensions. First, well designed brand logos can offer an important strategic advantage that facilitates the success of extending a brand name to other product or service categories. Once successfully introduced, brand extensions make brand logos more visible and prominent, reinforcing the brand’s key benefits.
  4. The Psychology of Colour: Colour is what catches the eye. Significant studies have been conducted into the value of logo colour and the effect it has on the human mind. It’s a fact that certain colours lead to certain reactions. For a start, you may discover that red creates aggression.
  5. Know About: Web Development Company
  6. Take for example a call to action. Studies have shown that bright orange is the best colour for encouraging people to click, whereas red comes in second.
  7. Timeless: A great logo should be modern and yet be timeless in its course. Some logos have changed little over time, only tweaked to make them more modern but keeping essential elements intact, like UPS, Starbucks and Burger King.
  8. Don't just focus on a single static execution of an icon or logo, consider the branding system at large.
  9. Empowering: Rather than imposing strict guidelines and rules for when and how a logo may be used, great logo design should develop key principles so they can be more relevant across the wide range of various touch-points that pop up every day. This enables them to make more timely decisions with greater creative freedom while still tying it back to what the brand is about.
