3 great misconceptions about logo design

April 20th, 2012

I don’t like any of the samples I have received! This company must be terrible! logo design missSometimes you can receive a group of samples that just don’t appeal to you, it happens. Most of the time a client doesn’t know or can’t precisely describe what kind of logo he wants or what image he is looking for. For that reason, a good designer will try to question the client as much as possible regarding their preferences and tastes in logos, but this is not always sufficient. Also note that sometimes an idea may seem good at first thought, but looking at the results on paper you could realize that you don’t like them at all. It is natural to get upset if you have received a package of samples that don’t suit you, but it`s important to understand that since you are not buying a premade product, bad surprises are not impossible nor improbable. Look at a batch of bad initial samples as just another step towards a great final design. It is highly unlikely that you will utterly hate everything about the samples presented. You can pick and combine different elements from them - font, color, object, layout – into one great logo. Even if the samples are really terrible, you could tell the designers precisely what you don’t like about them, which will help them avoid similar mistakes in the next samples. A bad batch of samples, depending on your view of it, can be a glass half empty or a glass half full. It’s a setback, perhaps, but the second round has a much greater chance of success.

Logo #1: A pop of color contrast draws the eye towards the elegant, interwoven, curving lines of this logo. The swooping lines suggest movement and forward-thinking, and the crispness of the vivid color gradients against the white give the whole design a modern look. The professional feel and simplicity of the overall design make it perfect for a diversity of uses.

Logo #2: Rounded concentric shapes and alternating deep colors broken with bands of white form the basis of this logo. Notice how the white stripes form the rough shape of a house. The strong and traditional colors make this a good logo for a reliable, growing mortgage company.

Logo #3: Whereas the previous logos were abstract and modern, this one goes back to the roots of Civilization itself with an ancient pillar. Ancient Greek art is considered by many as an ideal of beauty and the pillar is, by its function, a perfect symbol of stability. That and the smooth golden colors make this logo excellent for financial enterprises.

Logo #4: The two stripes in this modern logo are like an endless road, waiting only for a swift race car to grace it with its wheels. Speed is obviously suggested, and the shape of the stripes suggests a flash of lightning: one of the quickest things in the world. This logo is obviously perfect for racing companies.

Logo #5: The shapes in this logo are reminiscent of molecules. All in curbs and round shapes, this logo is the incarnation of fluidity. The curbs also suggest swift movement. The logo conveys the idea of a cycle, yet there is something chaotic about the suggested movement and the contrast of the two shapes’ colors. This union between order and chaos is the basis of both this logo, and Life itself! This design is perfect for pharmaceutical businesses and bio research.

Logo #6: Two outstretched hands, international symbol of hope, are preparing to receive a shining star descending from the sky, symbol of luck and wishes. Mostly round shapes and smooth colors convey a sense of peace. This logo is perfect for charity groups, which allow even the most humble of us to reach for the stars.
