BEST Logo Design Process 7 Steps.
Understand Your Business ~ Get Logo Details
The first step in the logo design process is getting to know your business and its goals.
This includes researching the company’s history, target audience, products, and services. It’s important to understand the brand vision to create a unique logo that fits the brand.
Brand Research ~ Brainstorming
The next step is Brand Research and brainstorming ideas.
Brainstorming can be done by me alone or as a team with you, depending on the size of the project. During this stage, it’s crucial to come up with creative and innovative ideas that will help create a logo that stands out.
Concept Building ~ Creating Rough Sketches
Once the ideas are gathered, it’s time to create a few rough sketches.
This can be done on paper or digitally using logo design tools.
The designs will be hand drawn, creative and capture the essence of the business in a dratft or rough form.
Create Multiple Designs ~ Adding Creative Touches
Choose the best of the best concepts and roughly draw them up.
I will create and distill down to the 5-10 best logo Design Draft Concepts (depending on the package quoted), and digitise them, adding a few colour and font choices at this point.
Select One or Two to Revise ~ Tweak the Designs
Next, it is important to test your logos with you.
I present the Draft Roughs in a semi-finalised form.
I typically look at them all on the floor, and eliminate the ones that I don’t prefer, leaving a couple that I would like to move forward with. Poll people you know to get feedback on the final two or three that you like, to validate and compare designs before you choose one to finalise.
Presenting the Penultimate Design ~ Execute Final Design
The last step is to create the final logo with the feedback from your test.
A logo test will tell you if your designs are ready to go or what changes you need to make. This involves tweaking the design, adding finishing touches, and making sure the logo is suitable for a variety of media. Once the logo is complete, it’s time to launch and build your brand identity.
OK'd ~ All The Logo Files Delivered in a Package for you
Now the logo design is finalised, I create a library of various different logos.
Stacked, Horizontal, and specific files for different usages like embroidery, print, web and signwriting. I package up all these Vector and Pixel Formatted files and give them all to you. I archive them here and in the cloud for future use so we will never loose them – I am always here for you.

A brand is something that sells itself. It is the personality of a company which consumers perceive. Just as a brand represents a company’s personality, a logo design denotes a company’s face. This is the face of your business when you are not there. Although you cannot control the perception of the consumers, you can determine what they see as the face of the company. So why not design the best possible (and most effective) Logo Design for your business?!
Putting the CRACKER in your CREATIVE Logo Design
What the BEST Logo Design Process considers…
Here are the reasons why the best Logo Design should always be creative
Inspire the Audience
A logo is a single visual picture which acts as a communication tool with the audience; therefore it should meaningfully carry the brand’s message to inspire the people. The more the audience is moved by your logo, the better it will be for the brand’s image. Also, it has to be relevant enough to become the pillar of the brand. Creativity is what will influence the brand the most.
Building Recognition
Your logo acts as a reminder for the general public. It is something they can relate to and connect with. They will be able to tell which products the brand sells and of the company’s orientation, just by seeing their logo. For example; brand’s logos like Mango, Nike, Gucci, Rolex, and Zara are well known and recognizable among the consumers of these brands.
Brand Uniqueness
Your logo should be eye catching and different, to make it stand out. There are hundreds and thousands of brands out there and to become extraordinary, you need to be more creative and innovative. You need to give a reason to your target audience to opt for your brand from the pool of many; hence uniqueness is the top priority. Adding a touch of creativity doesn’t mean it has to be complicated though. Uniqueness can also be achieved by keeping things simple and basic.
What should be considered when designing a logo?
When designing a logo, I consider the company’s target audience, mission and values, and current trends in logo design. Additionally, it’s important to consider the logo’s size, the colors used, and how the logo will be used.
How can I make my logo stand out?
A great way to make your logo stand out is to use unique fonts and colors that are not commonly used. I also use abstract shapes and patterns to create a unique look. Additionally, using negative space, gradients, and shadows can help your logo stand out from the crowd.
Should I use a symbol or a text-based logo?
It depends on the company’s needs. A text-based logo may be better if the company wants to create a strong brand identity. However, a symbol-based logo may be more appropriate if the company wants to be more creative and abstract to portray the essence of their brand to the target market.
What type of font should I use for my logo?
When selecting a font for your logo, I make sure it is legible and easy to read at all sizes. Additionally, I select a font that fits the company’s brand and message. There are a millions of fonts to choose from, so I make sure I do the research before making a decision. Things like ‘friendly’ = rounded font, ‘italic’ = sport etc.
Conclusion
Designing a logo is the most important step in creating a successful brand. Following my 7 steps above, I will create a logo to help your business stand out and make a lasting impression. With the right design, your logo will be a powerful tool that communicates your brand’s story and values to your audience. Want to take your business to the next level?!

The BEST Logo Design Process Tips And Tricks
Creating a logo can be daunting, for me it’s a fun and rewarding experience with the 7 steps in place. I refine the designs and get feedback from you on which logo works best for your brand. Finally, create a brand identity package to ensure consistent use of the logo across all mediums.
Understanding Color In Logo Design
Before I even go through the 7 steps of the logo design process for your new logo, I think about the impact colours have on the potential audience. According to Colour Theory, blue, red, grey/black, and yellow/gold are the four most used colours in logos, with each colour carrying a characteristic with it. For instance:
Blue: Professional, tranquil, trust, Medical-related – Examples include Oral-B, HP, and IBM.
Red: Energetic, Bold, Sexy, action – Examples include Coca Cola, Kellogg’s, and Canon.
Grey/Black: Credible, Powerful – Examples include Adidas, Nike, and CBS.
Yellow/Gold: Sunny, Optimistic, Inventive – Examples include Subway, Hertz, and Nikon.
Remember that a logo can be redesigned, but the colours remain a timeless element, which is why it’s important to get the colour combination right the first time!
When it comes to logo design, color theory is an essential tool. Colors have their own unique meanings and can be used to create a desired effect. It is important to understand colour theory when designing a logo to create a logo that reflects your brand’s values.
Leveraging Typography In Logo Design
Typography, or the art of arranging text, is one of the most important elements of logo design. A good logo should be simple yet effective in conveying the message of a company or product. Typography can create a lasting impression and make a logo stand out from the crowd. When it comes to leveraging typography in logo design, there are a few key things to consider.
Typeface
Typefaces are the fonts used for the text in a logo. Different typefaces have different weights, styles, and personalities. Choosing the right typeface for a logo is essential in creating an effective design. It’s important to choose a typeface that is legible and easy to read, as well as one that reflects the company’s or product’s personality.
Size
The size of the text should be large enough to be noticed and yet small enough not to overpower the design. Furthermore, the size should be consistent throughout the logo to ensure a cohesive look and feel.
Spacing, Kerning and Leading
The spacing of the letters should be balanced and consistent. Too much space between the letters can make the logo look too busy, while too little space can make the logo look cramped. This is the art of negative space and will be even more evident if you blow your new logo design up to a billboard size. Ever wonder why a logo looks awesome? This is the main reason, and most of the time you don’t superficially see it – but your sub-conscience can.
Logo Design Styles and Trends
The first thing I consider when exploring logo design trends is the type of logo you want. Logos can be divided into two main categories – symbol or logotype.
A symbol logo: is an image or icon that represents a brand without using any text.
A logotype: is a logo that combines text and an image. Knowing which type of logo you want to create can help you narrow down the right design trends for your logo.
I also look at the current trends in design, colour, and typography. Design trends come and go, so creating a timeless logo is important.
When creating a logo, it’s important to consider how it will look when used in different formats. Will it look good on a business card? Will it look good on a website? Will it be easy to read on a billboard? Thinking about how your logo will look in different formats will help you create a logo that looks good no matter where it’s used.
By exploring logo design trends, I create a logo that stands out and looks modern, professional, and attractive. Knowing the current trends in design, color, typography, and usage will always help me create a logo that looks great no matter where it’s used, now and in the future.
