Planning On Your Business Logo?

Planning On Your Business Logo?

One of the most fun aspects of starting up a new company is the fact that some people have a brand, a website, and a logo. This is a creative process that lets you stamp your business. You certainly have a kick out of it if you're artistic and enjoy drawing.

But what if you're not a kind of creative? What if you don't know where your logo can be started and created?

This recipe will help…

Create a Moodboard

A mood board is simply a collection of images that relate to your brand, that inspire you and that you want to take cues from. Some of these images might be logos from competing brands, others might be photos of things you’ve seen and just like the looks of. You might choose images that relate to you personally or you might pick things that represent what you’re trying to achieve.

Either way, this then puts all of these sources of inspiration in one place. Now, when you glance over the page you’ll be able to get a kind of ‘visual direction’ for your logo and it should start those creative juices flow.

The Next Step

The next step in the process is then simply to combine these various images into some unique configurations. Take the different elements and try putting them together – or finding ways to work them into the text of your company name.

You should have a few different concepts left with you, which you will then take away and demonstrate to others. Get a vote on which ones work best and take this into consideration – after all, your logo is not ' for you ' it's for your audience!
