Creating a logo design is not a big deal, really. To make it an effective one is. In this part of our blog, we are going to be sharing the 7 principles that you can keep in mind before you start working on any logo designs for your personal and commercial clients.

1. Simplicity

When it comes to creating a logo design, we know that it can be overwhelming not just for the creative team but also for the design team but the only thing that will help you get through the initial stages is knowing that simplicity is the key to success (of a logo design).

A simple yet effective logo design a very few elements in it; does not look cluttered and is super easy to recognize. Keep the canvas clean and simple, and you will end up with a logo design that is way more impactful than the ones which are cluttered and all over the place.

2. Memorability

An effective logo design is one that can be recalled easily and you don’t have to spend a couple of minutes thinking of the business it represents. Always remember that not everyone has a lot of time to look at your logo to memorize it so make it a quick thing; make it easy to recall and you will be good to go.

3. Originality

Although every principle is an important one to follow going for an original logo design is something that you might struggle with and that only happens when there is a lack of research and the teams are not given ample time to come up with something unique and different. Ensure that you do your research and then create a design that is not a replica or inspiration of an already launched business.

4. Timeless

Another important logo design principle is to have a timeless logo design as you’d not like to change your logos every other year, you know. Go for a modern overall look and feel of your design so that your logo does not look outdated even after several years have passed since you launched it.

5. Balance

Like everything else in the world, your logo design must have balance in it which should depict the fact that all the elements are in harmony with each other.

6. Versatility

From digital and social media content to billboards and posters, your logo will be used everywhere so make sure that your design is versatile enough to be easily incorporated into every medium and platform.

7. Color Harmony

Lastly, your logo’s color palette must complement the logo design without having to overshadow the name, imagery, etc. That is all for today!
