Making your LOGO
This is going to be the most powerful
tool and the most
important decision you will ever make. This will identify you from others and
can be used on letterhead, business cards, websites, blogs even your product
design.
There are some things to keep in mind; you can pay others to design a
logo. It could be the answers for your business from the get go to make a
powerful impact for your business. But, if you decide to make your own, keep it
simple. You might find yourself needing a t-shirt advertisement or mass
producing products and you want to start out on the right foot. A very powerful
Logo will impact and the memory needs to be impressive. Most business card and
tee shirt company’s cost for layers of colors. So by keeping it simple this
will keep it cost effective at the same time this will keep it manageable for
your budget in the long run. For myself I like designing cards and paper crafts
which I wanted to make a cutter file of my design and by keeping it simple I
was able to achieve this goal.
This
design by overboard creations describes a little towards a crafty person in which is my
intent to show that I am a crafter. I also show my personality through the
heart representing my Butterfly Love. And this is truly true in my case. I can
never get enough butterflies around me. They represent freedom and creativity
to me. I surely have a love for both so we placed a heart that represents Love.
This is surely a clear symbolism icon to a LOGO. (Logo’s can also be a word or letter) represent you and your product, the business and a
little of ourselves in our final outcome. This is in my own opinion but who
knows you better than you. So be creative and look around for your identity and
product before shopping around for a creator. Once you have it in mind, keep it
simple and then try creating it yourself.
Give it a try.
