Do you need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/category\/logo-inspirations\/\">inspiration to create<\/a> a new logo or redesign your old one?<\/p>\n<p>Whether your company is new or it\u2019s been around for a while, a strong logo is crucial to building your brand. Plumbing logos vary in shape, color, and design, but the newest trend is a wordless logo.<\/p>\n<p>Why should you consider a wordless logo for your plumbing company? Read on for more about wordless design and why it\u2019s the perfect choice for plumbing logos.<\/p>\n<h2>Increased Recognition<\/h2>\n<p>MasterCard recently redesigned its brand, removing all words and taglines from its logo. The new logo features just the company\u2019s iconic yellow and red circles.<\/p>\n<p>How did consumers respond to the new logo design? A full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pentagram.com\/work\/mastercard\/story\" rel=\"nofollow\">81% of those polled<\/a> instantly recognized the logo \u2013 even without the word \u201cMasterCard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the lesson? First of all, there\u2019s nothing \u201cwrong\u201d with including words in your logo. Many companies do so successfully.<\/p>\n<p>However, if your logo isn\u2019t recognizable without the words, you\u2019re missing out on valuable marketing opportunities. Creating a logo consumers recognize\u00a0without the words opens the door to stronger advertising.<\/p>\n<h2>Streamlined Branding<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to logo design, simplicity is key.<\/p>\n<p>Think about the world\u2019s most powerful companies. What do their logos look like?<\/p>\n<p>Apple uses \u2013 well, an apple. Nike uses its famous \u201cswoosh\u201d mark. McDonald\u2019s uses a pair of golden arches.<\/p>\n<p>None of these brands include words in their logo. Yet, anywhere you go, you instantly know if someone\u2019s using an Apple computer or wearing Nike shoes.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s no need to McDonald\u2019s to translate its name. Everyone\u00a0in the world recognizes those golden arches.<\/p>\n<p>Those simple, streamlined logos have defined each company\u2019s brand. A wordless design can do the same for plumbing logos.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Plumbing Logos<\/h2>\n<p>To design a compelling plumbing logo \u2013 especially without words \u2013 what your company does should be obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Common elements of plumbing logos include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tools<\/li>\n<li>Pipes<\/li>\n<li>Water drops<\/li>\n<li>Faucets\/taps<\/li>\n<li>A handyman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With one or more of these elements in your logo, customers won\u2019t have to guess what service you offer. The design makes it clear you\u2019re a plumber.<\/p>\n<p>What color should your logo be? The decision is up to you, but many plumbers choose blue to convey the image of water. Blue is also associated with feelings of trustworthiness, sincerity, and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>What better message could you send your future customers?<\/p>\n<p>A mascot is another terrific component of a plumbing logo. You can convey a lot of information through a simple design featuring a handyman mascot.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you could portray him looking strong and capable or rushing to get a job done. No matter what action your mascot is doing, he should look friendly and inviting.<\/p>\n<p>A terrific example is the cheerful mascot for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
