At a glance, a logo tells potential customers the company\u2019s purpose, what products or services are offered, or what type of experience they can expect. That\u2019s a lot to cover in a few well-deigned pixels.<\/p>\n<p>But remember: every brilliant logo design once started off as a simple logo drawing.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term goal of any logo design is recognition. Use these brainstorming techniques to develop ideas and drawings for a logo that is unforgettable.<\/p>\n<h3>Plan for Creativity<\/h3>\n<p>Although brainstorming is an exercise in spontaneity, preparation is a key element to success.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to set aside a dedicated block of time specifically for the brainstorming session. Planning ahead helps minimize distractions \u2014 studies have shown <a title=\"interruptions and inefficiency\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/05\/05\/opinion\/sunday\/a-focus-on-distraction.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">it can take over 20 minutes<\/a> to get back on track after an interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced planning also allows for playlist orchestration. Music is a powerful tool when it comes to creativity and choosing the right type of music is important. <a title=\"go classic while getting creative\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@WriterLionel\/sound-advice-what-to-listen-to-while-working-601af736846\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instrumental music<\/a> is highly recommended for maintaining focus on a creative task. Stay away from <a title=\"music with lyrics can hinder concentration\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22523045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">music with lyrics<\/a> (it tends to block concentration).<\/p>\n<h3>Open the Observatory of Your Mind<\/h3>\n<p>Be as a student at all times. What shines bright and really catches the eye? Creating a list or file of <a title=\"logo designs for inspiration\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awwwards.com\/99-creative-logo-designs-for-inspiration.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">logos, drawings<\/a>, and designs that are intriguing and effective help spur creativity. Include notes about what makes each logo unique, describe the emotions evoked by the image and <a title=\"memorable logo designs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.complex.com\/style\/2013\/03\/the-50-most-iconic-brand-logos-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">what makes it memorable<\/a>. Evernote and <a title=\"an evolution of logo drawings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/britishdesign\/logos-through-the-ages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pinterest<\/a> are great for keeping track of likes (and even dislikes).<\/p>\n<h3>Get Back to Nature<\/h3>\n<p>There is overwhelming evidence that exposure to nature not only promotes calmness but has a positive impact on creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Images from nature have been the inspiration for the logos of many well-known brands (think Apple and Twitter), as well as companies with products or services that have <a title=\"nature inspired logos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vandelaydesign.com\/logos-inspired-by-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">nothing to do with nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A quiet bench in a neighborhood park, a sling chair on a pier, a wildlife viewing area off the interstate, or any serene location with trees and vegetation is a potential destination. The shapes, textures, sounds and even smells from natural surroundings will bring out the inner visionary, and hopefully some excellent logo drawings.<\/p>\n<h3>Go \u201cShopping\u201d for Logo Drawing<\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately, this brainstorming adventure does not require a credit card. A stroll through the mall, an hour of window shopping along the boulevard or even a trek through the aisles at a local grocery store offers a wide range of logos and design ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of colors and designs, sizes and shapes, fonts and images are excellent ways to inspire multiple logo drawings. A smartphone camera is a perfect way to record styles and designs that jump out to get noticed.<\/p>\n<h3>Go with the Flow<\/h3>\n<p>Being aware of current trends is important to any creative process.<\/p>\n<p>The latest styles in <a title=\"fashion trends\" href=\"https:\/\/patternpeople.com\/category\/trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">fashion design<\/a>\u00a0offer suggestions for use of patterns and insight for well-chosen <a title=\"psychology of color in logo design\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/use-psychology-shape-ad-logo-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color schemes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Keep track of new and <a title=\"free fonts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webdesignerdepot.com\/category\/freebies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">innovative font styles<\/a> and experiment with various fonts when sketching logo drawings. Different fonts may stimulate even more ideas.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, always be in touch with what is <a title=\"current logo design trends\" href=\"https:\/\/www.logolounge.com\/articles\/2017-logo-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">trending in logo design<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n<h3>A Final Note<\/h3>\n<p>Judgment and analysis of the ideas created during brainstorming should be left until the end of the session. Do not block creativity by critiquing.<\/p>\n<p>When brainstorming is finished the best strategy is to close the sketchbook of logo drawings and take a break. Revisit a day or two later for a fresh perspective. Once the inspiration hits, don\u2019t hesitate to <a title=\"free online logo maker\" href=\"http:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/tutorial\">get to work<\/a> creating your new logo.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every brilliant logo design once started off as a simple logo drawing.
