If you\u2019re designing your company\u2019s logo, you\u2019re well aware that the graphic representing your business is often the first and only impression potential customers will see.<\/p>\n

When designing a self-defense logo\u2014there\u2019s a lot to communicate in a small amount of space. You\u2019re selling a very particular collection of goods to a niche market. Your\u00a0logo needs to represent security, protection and a certain level of \u201ctoughness.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Do You Want Your Self-Defense Logo to Communicate?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In general, when people think self-defense, they think martial arts\u2014so you\u2019ll want to take some steps to ensure that your logo communicates that you sell self-defense devices, not classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While it may seem obvious, some themes need to be addressed when tasked with the unique challenge of creating a self-defense logo, here are a few ideas:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Protection\u2014One approach could be incorporating small graphics of your self-defense devices into the actual logo\u2014we\u2019re talking pepper spray, hidden knives and so on. Keep the color palette muted, so things don\u2019t get too busy when you<\/p>\n

Security \u2014 \u00a0Be precise in crafting your logo, so people know what to expect\u2014more traditional imagery like robes, belts and chopping motions work well here\u2014as do bold and straightforward color palates. Think black and white accented with red or yellow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the case of Defense Devices<\/a>, they\u2019ve opted to use a heavy weight font, accented with their initials at the center of a gun\u2019s crosshairs.<\/p>\n

Take Ethics Seriously<\/h2>\n

Because you are designing a logo that will be involved in selling weaponry, there are some ethical concerns that may arise<\/a>. A good self-defense logo should communicate security, protecting yourself and your family and safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stay away from any imagery evoking blood, violence or that makes weapons look \u201ccool\u201d or \u201cfun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

One way to do this is to take stock of the small stuff\u2014a self-defense logo should feature a straightforward font, employ basic color and shape psychology and avoiding elements that make the design seem inappropriate.<\/p>\n

For example\u2014colors like pink and purple are likely too playful <\/a>for a self-defense logo, as are things like graphics with rounded edges\u2014which give off a \u201ccartoony\u201d feel.<\/p>\n

Instead, stick to sharper edges and use authoritative colors like black, red, blue or gray.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Make Your Self-Defense Logo a Clich\u00e9<\/h2>\n

An important bit of advice, you don\u2019t want to be too obvious. Avoid being too straightforward with your imagery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, direct representations of specific weapons may simply highlight your lack of creativity, ultimately turning potential buyers off completely.<\/p>\n

Using a taser, gun or a detailed representation of a knife is akin to using a slice of pizza to advertise a pizza parlor.<\/p>\n
