8 Important Rules for Business Logo Design

The logo for a business is so important it should never be left to an amateur to design. That said, many people go ahead and create their design because they like fiddling with things like that on their computer. If that is you, here are some important rules to consider when designing a logo for your business or for a friend.

  • Think carefully about what you want and sketch it out on a piece of paper. Try several other designs while you are at it. Don’t use an image from a gallery website because others also have access to that same image. You don’t want to see someone else with your logo, or even part of it.
  • Using custom fonts will also help to make your logo design unique. That said, don’t use too many words in the logo because it risks being too fussy to be clear. Keeping to one font style and one size will make your logo easy to read – less is more. That said, try out many to find just the right choice.
  • Remember that your design should suit your company. Girls in bikinis would suit a swimwear business but not a law practice.
