Visiting the dentist can be downright scary for some patients. To ease this fright, dental practices need to show their friendly side and that goes beyond flashing a smile.<\/p>\n

This is where branding efforts come in.\u00a0Your dental logo is one of the most efficient ways to communicate your brand\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

Although small in size, it speaks volumes. A friendly design can tell patients that they should feel calm and relaxed when they visit you.<\/p>\n

Read on to learn some tips for creating a\u00a0logo that will capture your warm personality.<\/p>\n

1. Simplicity is Key<\/h2>\n

The most effective friendly logos are usually ones with fairly simple designs. You don\u2019t need to pack a bunch of elements into your design to say what you need to say.<\/p>\n

You should determine what the core elements of your brand are. Why is quality of care so important to you? What makes you such a welcoming practice?<\/p>\n

Take only the most important aspects of your brand and apply that to your friendly design.<\/p>\n

2. Use Lighter Colors<\/h2>\n

Color scheme is a very important element to a logo. Certain colors can strike different moods, and cause you to have different associations.<\/p>\n

For a dental practice, you\u2019ll want to use lighter colors. Light blue is one of the most common, yet appropriate colors you\u2019ll see in dentist logos.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because blue is a calming color. It is associated with<\/a> positive emotions and objects, such as trust, understanding, and the sky.<\/p>\n

For example, Northbrook Dental Office<\/a> uses a medium blue in their logo. Although there is no icons or images, you still get a friendly vibe from its font and color.<\/p>\n

You should avoid dark, bold colors. For obvious reasons, red may scare your patients.<\/p>\n

3. Ditch The Cliches<\/h2>\n

Yes, you\u2019re a dental practice so teeth are the most identifiable object associated with your industry. However, they make for the most cliche, overused<\/a> dental logos.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but it also can create dissonance for the company. Typically dental work isn\u2019t associated with happy connotations.<\/p>\n

If you want to use a tooth, try to put a positive spin on it. For instance, if you work mostly with kids, you can animate (see more below) your logo for a more friendly design.<\/p>\n

4. Friendly Design Symbols<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re going for a welcoming approach, you should consider using fun symbols in your logo. This is especially applicable if you focus on family dental services.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, you can put a positive take on teeth by just animating it. Give it a smile (and face), and it looks a whole lot less intimidating. You can use animations of other objects, such as toothbrushes or floss, too.<\/p>\n

If able, there\u2019s also the option to make a play on words within your name. Let\u2019s say you have the word \u2018Smile\u2019 in your practice\u2019s name.\u00a0You can try incorporating a person flashing a bright smile into your logo.<\/p>\n
