Your logo is a visual symbol of your company. At its best, a logo encapsulates your organization’s reputation and market power in a single emblem. The English term “logo” comes from the Greek “logos,” meaning “word,” though a logo typically uses design and shape to achieve potency rather than relying on words; however, some logos do include text. As logos are meant to signify identity, uniqueness is essential, and this can sometimes result in the use of odd and cryptic symbols.
When executed well, a logo can go a long way in creating a lasting impression for a brand. Since a logo primarily relies on nonverbal communication, the recipient’s mind tends to apply less censorship to the logo’s message, which makes the impact more potent and penetrating. While words can be refuted, it’s hard to argue with a shape.
The grammar of a logo is color and shape, and these can be utilized to create specific associations. Geometric shapes, such as squares, circles, triangles and diamonds, are symmetric and structured, thus suggesting those characteristics when included as part of a logo. Geometric design will also elicit responses associated with structure, like order, efficiency, and organization. Organic shapes, in contrast, have more fluid lines and may resemble forms found in nature, like flowers and leaves. Organic shapes appear less “hard,” which makes them seem more comforting and pleasing than shapes composed of straight lines. Organic imagery can be used to articulate naturalness, spontaneity, chance, independence and imagination. A clever design, constructed with only a few lines, can unobtrusively communicate in a way that encourages brand awareness and elicits empathy.
Once it has been created, your logo should be tastefully integrated into your overall marketing campaign. Marketing channels are everywhere and range from the more traditional mediums of print, television and radio to social media and other forms of digital media.
