Creating The Perfect Logo

  • Randy Blakeslee
  • January 18, 2019
Before you move to your design programs, put pencil to paper. Sketching and conceptualizing. This is the single most important part of the design process.

If you aren’t fortunate enough to have a graphic designer in-house or cannot hire one- fear not! We asked ours to help lead you in the right direction as you create your perfect logo.

Logo Creation Basics

Logo Color

Start with the basics, color, and color theory. Color is what catches the eye. Learn what colors work together to compliment each other and what moods they generate. For example, studies have shown that bright orange is the best color for encouraging people to click, whereas red comes in second.

Complementary colors lie directly across from each other on the color wheel. They bring out the best in both colors and create a very dynamic look.

Analogous colors fall close to each other on the wheel. If you want your logo colors to be harmonious, these will work well together.

Triadic colors draw from three equal sections on the color wheel. Pick these for a stimulating and bold effect.

Typography

In sticking with the basics to start, if your logo will feature any sort of text, focus on typography. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.

Conceptualize

Before you move to your design programs, put pencil to paper. Sketching and conceptualizing. This is the single most important part of the design process. Instead of searching for various logo ideas on your computer screen, try drawing your logo ideas on paper. Drawing is a great method that will allow you to fully hash out your ideas simply because it is easy to draw various design elements without being constrained by your computer. You can erase, sketch, and let your ideas flower without any limitations. This usually leads to great logo designs.

Focus on Your Brand Image When Creating a Logo

Lastly, make sure you have an understanding of your company and how you want others to view your brand. As yourself, “Why are you here? What do you do, and how do you do it? What makes you different? Who are you here for? What do you value the most?” Conduct research on the industry itself, its history and competitors. Problem-solve first, design later. Follow trends not for their own sake but rather to be aware of them: longevity in logo design is key.
