Graphic Design: How Do I Know Thee, Let Me Count the Logos
How many companies do you know simply by the logo? A few? The typical person can usually name a dozen companies by their logo alone, from everything to where they shop, the food that they eat, the beverages that they drink and everything in between. From the color, the shape or the other features of the logo, you know it when you see it. For example, think of fast food, and one particular logo design for these types of places. Even if you are not hungry or you are trying to avoid eating fast food, the sight of that internationally known logo may drive you to distraction and right to the drive-thru window before you regain control of your hungry tummy.
Creating a logo and brand identity for yourself is important, not only for your website or other advertising efforts, but to use in brochures, mailers and other media campaigns. Working with a graphic designer who can help create the right logo and designs for your company is important. Your logo can become more than just a logo after all - it may become the way that your company is identified. Think back to the logos of the companies from above: how many of them came to you logo first and company name second? For most people, the name of the company comes quickly on the heels of recognizing the logo. For many more, you may be able to say the name of the company and then quickly come up with the logo as well, since the logo is usually not far from the name of the company in your mind’s eye. After all, can you really think of the name of that fast food place without the logo coming to mind as well?
When you send out a brochure or mailer, or when you advertise your website on other sites or with other media types, you want to catch people’s attention as quickly as possible. A logo can do that for you without a single word being used. If you catch the attention of your audience with your logo, they will be far more likely to want to read the advertisement, pay attention to your media’s message or see what is on your site. You now have the advantage of getting their advantage, quickly and easily.
So, what goes into designing a logo? First, you must consider the company name or the key products that you are selling. Can you create a logo that is based on these factors? A graphic design company or marketing firm will be able to create a brilliantly colored and memorable logo for your company, changing your brand identity and sealing it forever. A great logo can increase your traffic and brand awareness and even increase your sales. A bad logo can give you the kind of reputation that you might not be able to recover from, even if you change logos, since the first logo that was designed might be the only one that people can actually think of.
