What goes into a brand logo?

• It should work in black and white (reversed on black), grayscale and in color.

• It should read well if it’s presented small (business card) or large (outdoor signage).

• It should work on an array of promotional items (fliers, shirts to automotive wraps).

• Usually your logo should say who you are without needing a typeset detail.

• The colors you use should tell everyone instantly if you are the right fit for their needs.

What goes into a typeset?

• Picking a font to match your consumer interests is as important as the logo.

• A font’s size, color and relation to your logo tells people who you are.

• Legibility of the font is critical.

• Some fonts are beautiful but hard to read.

• Fonts have visual “VOLUME.” How loud or soft do you want to be?
