Categories of Logo Design
Benefits and Drawbacks of each category
1) Iconic Logos - Are basically simplified graphics that reflect a company or a particular product line. Primary advantage being fast visual absorption and easy to embroider and trademark but usually requires text to accompany the image. They may not be easily available to emboider if the icon has been made with a lot of detailing. A company that becomes very popular may be easily recognizable just by the icon.2) Illustrative Logos- As the name suggests these types of logos generally depict an illustration and is most suited for companies with quickly identifiable products/services and come with a draw back that more design time is required.

Great ways to start a Logo Design
What makes a logo a good logo?
Some mistakes while designing a logo
Mentioned below are some mistakes that logo designers need to be careful of while designing a logo -
1) Logo Designs should be simple and effective.
2) Size of a logo should essentially be a trade-off between what can be seen in a large hoarding as well as a small business card.
3) Incase a combination of image and text oriented logo is used, many a times images are not related to the core business of the company for which the logo is designed.
4) A text only logo may not reflect true picture of the company.
5) Idea generation for designing logos should start with brain storming sessions amongst designers rather than referring to similar previous work

Logo Design for different businesses
Images that go along with real estate companies include drawings of residential or commercial properties that the realtors deal in.
Financial Services/Accounting - It is necessary that accounting or financial services firm have their names associated in their logo and the text style font should be simple - arial or times new roman.
Travel/Tourism - Colors here should be related to the places where the company specializes in. For example, a travel company specializing in desert places should have dry color associated with it.
With a similar explanation it makes sense to incorporate a tree like structure incase the company deals with green environment places.
IT - Dark colors, simple and balanced fonts, and style similar to business nature help frame IT logos incase.
Let us know your business type and we shall be glad to help you with your logo design
Logos with Arrows and Arrowheads

An arrow can indicate a direction, growth, movement, success, sharpness, drive, effort, motion, development, emergence, increment, profit, accuracy depending on how you use it.
Logos above show some companies that use arrows and arrowheads. While you can easily locate arrows in some, it may take some time to locate arrow in others (for example where is the logo in Fedex?)

Do Text based logo designs look less elegant?

Not always do pictures speak a thousand words, especially in the logo design arena. While a graphic design logo does have a visual appeal, your logo can have an instant recall even if it does not have a graphic. Some nice strokes or a different than usual font can make your logo stand out among a sea of graphical logos.
With a text oriented logo you are not tied up to a particular product or service and can make your brand name popular. Especially useful for consumer goods industries like electronics and fashion.
We look forward to hearing your logo design requirements

Black - Mystery, Secracy, Tradition.
Blue - Power, calmness, success, trustworthiness.

Ask for vector files for your logo !
But is important for the client to know in brief about the various formats that come along with logo design so that he/she does not have difficulty afterwards.
Difficulty? We are talking about various formats of logo design and a format is a format, may be compatible somewhere and may be somewhere not.
Not really. Logos generally come in two file formats one is the raster file format and another is the vector file format. Raster file formats do not allow you to enlarge graphics for printing purposes while vector file formats allow you to edit your logo- enlarge, diminish or whatever size you wish your logo to be seen and at whatever place.
Many of the logo design vendors supply their customers with raster file formats because of laziness or lack of understanding the importance of supplying vector file format.
LogoDesignTeam goes that extra mile to supply you with a vector file format.
Be careful that your logo design does not turn out to be a copy

In creative work like logo design it is ok to inspiration from others but when does inspiration turn to copy.
See the logos below and let us know what you think, which of them are an inspiration and which are a copy.
Logo Design Process
- Have a look at some of the past work of the vendor you choose, fill up the online order form that the vendor requests you to fill and make your payment. Mostly this form will give you all the information you need to get started with the logo design process. Most logo designers work with a money back guarantee and paying should not be a complete risk.
- Within 2-3 days, your chosen vendor should give you around 5-6 logo design concepts for your examination.
- You choose your logo design concept and give directions to your vendor as to where he/she should head. You may like the design of one, color of another and text of yet another. You may also have fresh ideas that you would like your logo design vendor to incorporate.
- Your logo design vendor now starts working on the inputs and suggestions he receives from you.
- Within a few days ( usually 4-5 days) you receive your logo design and incase modification/alteration is required, you can discuss with your vendor and get the design finalized.
- After the design is finalized your logo design vendor gives you the final logo file.
“See that your logo design vendor is fun to work with and at the same ensures creativity at work”

Can using Logo Design Templates make the difference?
A logo design template gives you a lot in terms of design, colors, text format and saves you time, cost and effort but does it give enough innovation for the much needed visibility of your company from your peers?
When you use a logo design template you fall in a binding to use a particular style. A style that has been used by someone else for sure, enough to catch the eye of a novice person who looks at your logo.
On the other hand incase you choose to hire a graphic designer, you are completely free to define your logo in terms of text, graphics and layout and express your business in a much better fashion. In other words you have complete control over the way you want your business to look.
Feel free to add a comment to the above mentioned viewpoint and/or if you want to get a logo designed.
How specific should your logo be? Too specific does not allow you to diversify, too general does not indicate the line of busine
According to the experts, a smart logo should be discrete and specific. Have you ever noticed that the logos of Fortune 500 companies tend to be clean, distinct and uncomplicated?
You may think that why should you design your logo that much simple? That's because clean and uncomplicated logos can be made smaller without losing the minute details even. They can work well in fax, photocopies etc. And more importantly, a distinct and uncomplicated logo is always easier to remember.
But keep it in mind too specific design won't allow you to diversify and again, too general will deviate you from the line of business. You need a logo designed for the company primarily, not just for looks only. Be specific while designing but observe carefully, if it well promotes your company.The logos of Walmart, IBM, Ford, Dell etc are ideal examples of a smart logo.
Are you following these logo design trends?
- Organic 3D - 3d effects in logo design is highly popular nowadays. 3D logos, will reach in different thereby stimulate different viewers who are craving for a new, fresh look! Thus 3D effect in your logo can give it a great dimension.
- Waves - After years of being number one, swooshes have now been replaced by the waves. Since waves induce more flexibility and flow into the design, top graphic designers use this. To highlight the idea of movement, logo designers execute a fade technique from one color to another in these. "Waves" are a good strategy to suggest the feelings of movement, transfer, quickness and connection.
-
"Web 2.0" Logos - Web 2.0 actually refers to certain technologies (Ajax, Ruby, etc). A web 2.0 logo is now synonymous to a modern and trendy logo. Graphic designers, today are highly prone to transform existing logos into web 2.0 logos.
But what characteristics do web 2.0 logos have actually? They have bright colors, color levels, cute, icons, 3D effects, shiny surfaces, shadows and reflexions. The fonts are simple and most of them rounded. In some cases the color levels, shines and 3D effects are also applied to the lettering.However with all its brighness,. Web 2.0 logos happen to be a hot favourite of te graphic designers. - "Underground" Typography - Minimal Fonts - These logos are based on minimal fonts that are achieved by using as few elements as possible such as basic shapes (e.g. a circle arch for the Wends logo). Since these logos follow minimal fonts, ,most people will say that such logos do not provide immediate conveyance of the message. But nowadays it is highly popular. According to the graphic designers, such logos will surely catch the viewer's attention, provoking a sentiment or desire to "figure out" what the message is.
- New Rainbow / Color Scale - Full color scale rainbows replaced the classic rainbows in recent times. Lately, a lot of "rainbow colors" are being manipulated in a variety of ways. Top designers use transparency in order to spotlight the visual effects and to enable the fusion of colors, thus obtaining an impressive shift from one color to another. Using the vivid colors spectrum will create outstanding logos which is always be attractive to the human eye.
Top 5 points worth considering while writing a good logo design creative brief, for a great logo.
You might have thought logo as the brand of your company. But did you think that why should you give a proper care to the task of logo design? Because it is the uniqueness of the design of your brand which will make your brand stick in the customers mind, and stay there forever. You can think of the process as branding your identity into a consumer's brain.
There are a lot of variables you have to go through to decide on a good design.
Well, the first step of this process is the old proverb "keep it simple stupid". Complicated logo designs might look attractive but what is it's use unless your target customers cannot make any idea out of it? After a short brief, they will completely forget what it looks like. Simple logo, tends to stay in the brain longer, which will hopefully bring you customers when they require your services, which is the goal after all.
Secondly, color always has a deep impact on the consumer's mind. You might have seen, most restaurant logos are red in color, because red on a subconscious level makes you hungry. Black makes you look elegant, blue makes you feel comfortable and so on. Orange brings a subconscious feeling of wanting to do something new.
Shapes of your logo are no less important than colour in designing a logo. Like colours, shapes can convey many different things.. A circle gives the feeling of community, wholeness, perfection, and has feminine qualities. A Triangle gives you strength, structure, and masculine identity while a rectangle gives a feeling of logic and security. Consider these things minutely when designing a logo. Since for every shape there is a feeling associated with it, the goal is to come up with the right combination.
Readability, one of the important factor, comes after the color and shape of the logo. Keep in mind that average of the customers won't bother to take long time in order to figure out what your logo says. you don't want them to take 5 minutes to trace what it says. Using clean crispy fonts is always effective in this connection.
Most of you often overlook an important aspect i.e. scalability. Give a thought while designing, that whether your logo look good on a promotional item? Your logo needs to reproduce at a variety of different sizes - particularly on the smallest side. Too complex design can 'gum up' when reproduced as a very small image. Make an idea that how your logo will be used, both in size and media, this can help your designer create a logo that is appropriate in terms of complexity.
Should you assign your new logo design job to a creative agency or an Internet freelancer?
But did you ever think that whom should you assign the logo designing job- creative agency or an Internet freelancer? It is a hot debatable topic and often the company owners face with this problem.
Well, the only answer in this regard is that both have their own advantages and disadvantages. And for this reason, you cannot specify one of them as the best .
Some prefers to get their logo designed by a creative agency specially for the following reasons:
Large projects, which required detailed documentation is always better handled by the creative designing companies because they have team spirit. A freelancer alone won't be able to handle a big project.
A freelancer might be only good at designing a logo but only designing won't do. A logo requires promotion as a brand image. Professional design agencies have a professional hired staff comprising of web programmer, interface designer, copywriter, SEO expert and social marketer, which make the business promotion of a client convenient.
In a design company there is a group of designers collaborating on ideas and then come up with a broad range of outcomes. For a single Internet freelancer it is not possible to incorporate diversified ideas in the logo.
But in spite of such inconveniences, there are still some people, who prefers Internet freelancers to get their logo designed. But what are the reasons behind that?
Since from the very beginning you stay in contact with the freelancer himself, there are least chances of confusion and blunders.
Your phone calls and guiding details are directly received by the designer himself. Thus it is very easy to convey your requirements directly without getting stuck in the corporate maze. Freelancer returns the client requirements smoothly than the corporate agencies.
Hiring a freelancer always costs low. Usually big designing companies include their overheads in their charges. Most freelancers work from a home office with little overhead and consequently they cost low.
With freelance designers, you can get your project delivered much earlier than the corporate agencies. Moreover, freelancers are more flexible in making changes till the end whereas big companies do not believe in giving extra favors.
Now, you can see that both have their own pros and cons: and you have to decide whom do you consider best to get your logo- your brand image designed
Pros and Cons of using Logo Design Templates
You can use a number of ways to get your logo designed. Nowadays, using logo design template are very popular. You can purchase logo design template to get your logo designed. Many website development companies offer cost effective and high quality of logo design templates.
Making use of logo templates will help you cut costs by more than 50%. Since these logo templates are readily available for use, you do not need to wait for a longer period of time to get your logo designed.
Many online services allow you to purchase sole ownership and exclusive copyright control of their ready-made logo templates. After purchasing sellers will give you a letter of ownership and Copyright according to which you will own exclusive rights of that design.
But, at the same time, you should consider that logo design templates has disadvantage also, which is no less important.
The most glaring disadvantage of using a template is that your newly created logo will look almost identical to anyone else who purchased or used the template you used. Therefore your logo will lose its uniqueness. Although the similarity can be avoided to some extent by customization of template aspects, but the overall feel of the template will remain same.
