In the old days, you’d have <\/span>about seven seconds<\/span><\/a> to make a first impression.<\/span><\/p>\n However, thanks to the instantaneous nature of the Internet, in today’s world, you have even less. Now, your brand only gets about <\/span>2\/10 of a single second<\/span><\/a> to leave a lasting impression online.<\/span><\/p>\n This means that every single feature — from your site speed to the type of font you use — counts.<\/span><\/p>\n One thing that’s especially important when it comes to building brand recognition and helping customers to make an emotional connection with your company?<\/span><\/p>\n Your logo design<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n What does your current design communicate to both potential and current customers? Further, is it saying what you want it to?<\/span><\/p>\n Read on to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n The color that you select is likely the foundation of your overall logo design<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n You might already have specific “company colors” in mind, or you might be considering selecting new shades as part of a rebranding process.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s quickly take a look at the psychological impact three popular colors have on consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n Red shades have been <\/span>scientifically proven<\/span><\/a> to increase a person’s pulse and overall blood pressure levels. It’s associated with a sense of urgency, so usually, customers connect it to a sale or a limited-time offer.<\/span><\/p>\n It certainly communicates a sense of authority and energy, but it may be too harsh for some industries and logos.<\/span><\/p>\n Using the color green in your logo design usually means one of two things. It either indicates that you’re a natural\/organic brand, or it signifies that you work within the financial world.<\/span><\/p>\n It makes people think of profits, loyalty, intelligence, healing, and even safety.<\/span><\/p>\n Blue is often associated with creativity and tranquility.<\/span><\/p>\n This means that it works just as well for design and architecture firms as it does for spa and wellness centers. It allows consumers to relax, and instills a sense of trust in your consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n So, you’ve learned that the colors you use in your logo design can have a psychological impact on your consumers, and can cause them to associate your brand with certain emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n But what does the typography (AKA the font) you’ve selected communicate?<\/span><\/p>\n For an example, let’s take a look at the typography of the logo design of <\/span>Pretty Small Shoes<\/span><\/a>, a company that caters to women with small feet size that have trouble finding what they need in traditional stores.<\/span><\/p>\n The words “pretty” and “shoes” are written in a thin, lowercase, and feminine font. The word “small” is sandwiched between the two, and written in a bold font. This means that the consumer’s eyes will go right to that word.<\/span><\/p>\n This is perfect, because it makes it instantly clear that women looking for small-sized shoes are the brand’s target market.<\/span><\/p>\n When you’re <\/span>choosing the font<\/span><\/a> for your logo design, readability is the most important thing to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n If customers are unable to read your font, it tells your market that you’re unprofessional, sloppy, and just not very intelligent. However, if you choose a font that’s both legible and on-brand?<\/span><\/p>\n Well then, you’ll cause serious heads to turn.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, if you’re a wedding website, you might want to choose a loopy, formal script like something you’d see on a wedding invitation. If you’re a fitness bootcamp studio, go with lettering that’s bold, big, and even three-dimensional to make it stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to prove to your customers that your brand does things in a completely unique way?<\/span><\/p>\n We suggest meeting up with <\/span>a local designer<\/span><\/a> and asking them to create a customized font just for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n The final aspect of your logo design is the most important: the central image you select to represent your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n This image has to do a lot of work in a small space.<\/span><\/p>\n It needs to identify your target market, show what sets you apart from the competition, tell some kind of a story, and be interesting enough to make people want to learn more about your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n However, when you’re selecting an image, it might surprise you to learn that simpler is often better.<\/span><\/p>\n Think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n When you see a logo with tons of different colors, lots of details, and over-the-top design elements, what do you think?<\/span><\/p>\n Chances are, you think the brand looks desperate, messy, and you’re not quite able to tell what the company’s overall message actually is.<\/span><\/p>\n So, when you’re choosing an image, don’t be afraid to scale things back — and keep things active. When we say “active” design, we mean that you should choose an image that shows something moving or in action.<\/span><\/p>\n The most famous example of active design?<\/span><\/p>\n The Twitter logo.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead of just sitting on a branch, the bird is shown in flight, wings outstretched. This engages customers, and encourages them to get on board with a company that is, quite literally, going places.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you’re due for a rebranding or creating a logo for your new business, we hope that you use the above tips to create a branded, impactful design.<\/span><\/p>\n Just remember, every aspect of your logo — the color, the font, and the image — should be working to make an emotional connection with your target market.<\/span><\/p>\n Need additional logo design advice?
