What is a Logo?
Simple, that icon that represents your Brand, that golden M from McDonalds, that bitten Apple in grey, that tiny icon that you see in each of the apps inside your phone. Logos are part of our daily life, they are everywhere and they are pilar of your brand.
They are kind of like a mandatory thing and as your name itself can be a brand, adding some beautiful lines and font, it could be used as a Logo, but it’s quite important to know a bit more about it, as sooner or later you will need one and it’s an important Marketing Concept.
First let’s learn about Colour Psychology in Logos.
As Lester Corey explained perfectly in this article, the colour of a Logo is quite an important decision as it says so much about your business, there is a psychological reason for it. Red, orange and yellow colours can make you feel happy, fun, watchable and connected, blue can give the feeling of secure and trustworthy, purple gives a more informative approach, green is more eco-friendly and healthy, grey and black look more elegant, professional, reliable. This is just a resume on how the colours affect our brains when we watch a Logo. We recommend you to check on the article referred above to choose the perfect colour for your Logo.
