Start with the fundamentals
A logo should clearly represent your business without relying on excessive detail. Strong identities tend to combine thoughtful typography, suitable colours and a visual approach that can scale.
Put it into practice
Start with your audience and business positioning, then test concepts at small sizes and in one colour. Look at how a mark works on a phone screen, a document header and a sign. A good identity also needs sensible file organisation and colour guidelines.
What comes next?
Whether you are starting something new or refining an existing identity, consider how people will encounter your business and what the brand should communicate. A well-prepared creative brief makes every design decision easier.
