Build a Logo


Having company’s out there which design logos out there does sound like a good thing as there is always an urge to use them. But you have to remember that they are mainly there for beginners in the design field and just there as a start-up idea. 
They should never be used anything more than this otherwise you might be creating a logo which has very similar characteristics as other logo or brand.

This is one of the leading websites which do this with selling you a quick and easy method of designing your own logo for a very cheap way of doing this. 

I will not be looking any more into this type of logo design as I think it cheapens a brand if they choose never to look at alternative ideas when creating a brand for life.

This is a unique type of logo design by a person who uses all Medias to create wild and eye catching designs which can inspire lots of people to take their work further.  

There designs mainly use illustrator as this in one of the major resources that designers use. There are some illustrating works or art works fitted in there with a dramatic effect. 

Seeing what detail can be put into a log or a page spread is impressive understanding that this isn’t always needed is still in the back of my head. Just because there is ability there doesn’t mean it’s a remembered piece.

In the design I will be creating I now that having a simple design is the best way to go as there are so many different ways a design can be ruined if too much has gone into it.




55 Really Creative Logos


There are some other great examples of logo designs on this website. 

Having logo as you can clearly see is more of the time better than having too much just to fill a space out. You are able to see the logo for its technical ability instead of it shouting in your face with over powering colours or a wild font. 

One logo on this page interest me which is called 8 fish; this logo seem like it only has symbols for 4 fish but it’s using negative space to create  the other four fish if you look closely.

I enjoy looking at logos where you really have to look at all the space and colours used to get the full image understood.

60 Highly Clever Minimal Logo Designs


A logo is what a potential customer will see first when deciding to buy or browse something either online or in the high street. This is the more critical parts to a brand as this will give it its identity. 

Logos can be as simple as a dot with a standardised font underneath. But to get the attention of a viewer of your product, you need an eye catching logo. It doesn’t have to be fancy but smart is always needed.

The logo’s seen on this webpage use very simple ideas but have all had a really smart technique done to them to make them stand out above the rest. 

Understanding how this is done a great way to generate simple but effective logo quickly and will attract attention.  


 

UPDATE ONE


I will be creating update post on here every few blog posts to keep up to date with myself and to examine what I have learnt and how to put it into my brand. 

The first section has been researched around how to strategies and start a company from scratch. The information that I’ve read of these sites has been reasonably helpful as they have laid out a clear method that needs to be followed when looking into achieving this goal.

What I took from this was having a simple strategy or time management plan is to be used when creating a company as you set yourself goal to hit or targets need to be met.

Keeping to this means I’m able to have a deadline for each section of this project and it needs to be kept to so I don’t go off track and lose my position. 

This has been a great start to this portion as having a times management section to this project has left me with lots to do and a short period of time to do it in; but having set goal to achieve I believe that with hard work I can complete these tasks.

Design a new business strategy


Designing a new company is hard as mentioned before and can put pressure on you and others. Getting help for processes like this one is something which most people do as it tells them that something is being down right.

Research into anything needs to take time so you are able get all the factors in but a strategy is needed for this. 

Choosing this website for its information on strategy ideas was a good find because the information provided is as simple as you need it to be if you are starting a company. The text on this website is simple but effective, an example of the text is “it takes time to create a business from scratch”, quick and easy to read but has its serious points. 

It says on the web page about having brainstorm sessions with every one you are able to generate and select ideas which should be pushed forward.
