The role of website headers for a website is quite similar to the role of a book cover for a book. It tells the visitor about the basic theme, mood and type of content the website has.

Important Ingredients of a Good Logo Design With Examples

Paripoorn — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:09:13 +0000

The importance of external look is much in each aspect of our life. At the time of selection of your first Car or at the time of choosing your life partner, whatever it is, and external beauty & feel are always at the top. Let’s take an example while you go for shopping, you are looking for a skin screen and you are having four to five options in front of you. It’s now your choose to select the best one and if you are not very technical you just see the bottle, package, graphics & shape of the cream and think that it is the best for you. It’s the real fact that external look really matters a lot and people tend to attract towards it.

The logo is the brand identity or your company image. A logo reflects business strength, its image; it’s working and gives a true reflection of the business ideology. Logo is a graphic image that attracts your clients and work as a bridge among business and the clients. But most of the times people do not pay much importance to their logo image and hence their business suffers. Most of the small business owners never mind to create their business image with the help of logo even few of them had never designed any logo yet. If you want to be a successful business owner you should always pay a great emphasis on your business logo.

Let’s discuss few very important points about logos and their impact on your business, or you can say few tips on a good logo design.

It should be Vector

Logo should always be created in vector format. It’s because you can resize a vector artwork anytime up to any extent without losing its quality. Especially when you need to print on a big hoarding or banners than it is needed. While raster images can work for web only. If you will never go to print the logo, it’s totally fine to use raster based designs but still try to keep them with a good resolution.

Text or Graphic Logo

It is first thing to decide that what you need, a text logo or a graphic logo. In text logo there is only a text (company or business name) in some unique style & font. It may be company name in full or only first letters of two or more words consisting business name. While in a graphic logo there is a design or some symbol used to create business identity. Sometimes graphic is any shape or combination of different shapes to create a good looking symbol.

Copyright Content

Always take care about the copyright issues; never use any copyrighted stock photos or clipart in your logo. It will not only make you to face big legal problems but also destroys your business image and hurts the integrity.

Important as a Image

Any logo should be like that it can be remembered as an image. Even an illiterate person should remember the company with its graphic image. A graphic image is having a long lasting impression on one’s mind so the designer should be very creative while making a logo.

Black and White

Every logo should look well in Black & White also. No matter what is the original color but Black & White version of the logo is very important. For printing it is very useful for preparing screens or dies if printed on cloths & other stuff.

Number of Colors

An ideal logo should use fewer colors, maximum of 4 colors. More colors will reduce its seriousness and become an obstruct in the way you want to express to the viewers. On the other hand less colors will maintain its clarity and simplicity. Try to use black and white colors in a creative way with the combination of other one or two colors in the logo. This will make your logo look great all the time.

Selection of Proper Colors

Color of any logo depends on number of factors. One most important is the purpose of the logo where it is to be used, in print or on web. Ideal logo should be designed in a way so that it can be used in both print and web.

Uniqueness and Original

The most important factor that makes your logo a real brand image is its Uniqueness. Make sure the concept you are creating the logo is purely yours. Never try to copy other’s concept, take your time and think in your own way and express it in a new way to make a really unforgettable brand image.

Five Business Logo Tips

StevenE — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 06:00:34 +0000

If you are a business owner, you are going to have to be able to have a business logo to represent your company. This is a really big decision and it can definitely be intimidating. Therefore, I am going to give you some tips that should help the process go by as smoothly as possible.

First of all, you have to make sure that you love your potential business logo. If you don’t like it, you will have to let go of the idea. Make sure that you absolutely fall in love with your business logo when the concept is presented to you. You will be seeing that logo for an extremely long time, so you can never grow bored with it or wish you would have took a different route with it. You want to be happy with it on day one and happy with it on the 20^th anniversary of your company.

You also have to make sure that your business logo is going to properly represent your company. Your logo is going to be your first impression, so you want it to be able to reflect your company. Even if someone gives you an excellent design, if it does not represent your company’s identity, tone and service, you should pass on the design concept for something that represents your company honestly.

Pick your colors wisely for your business logo. Even if the colors are black and white, they still count. Make sure that the colors will be able to reflect your company’s identity and that they will appeal to your potential customers. Believe it or not, I have dealt with some business people that have lived and died by this point. It took them a long time to pick out the colors they truly wanted.

Make sure that your logo is going to look perfect no matter how it is used. For instance, your logo is most likely going to be stretched out, reduced, colors changed, will possibly be in the newspaper in black and white, so you have to make sure your business logo is going to hold up. No matter the situation, you want your business logo to look the best.

Lastly, I want to suggest that you do not pick the wrong icon. You should not fall in love with a business logo that is just not right for you or your company. So, make sure you are picky when it comes to things like that and that you keep your businesses best interest in mind.
