What do most professionals first see when they discover your brand? Your amazing work? Your polished website?<\/p>\n

Oftentimes, it\u2019s your logo. Your logo identifies your brand and puts you on the map with like-minded professionals. Choosing the right color, font, and design are vital when creating a logo.<\/p>\n

This is especially important if you\u2019re a contracting company. Whether you design your logo yourself or you go through a designer, a contractor needs a great logo<\/a> for branding purposes.<\/p>\n

But where do you find inspiration? How do you find that logo that sticks with people, while maintaining professionalism and quality? Check out these 5 contractor logo inspirations.<\/p>\n

1. Feature Small Images<\/h2>\n

If you want to take branding to another level, you may want to contemplate on featuring an image<\/a> with your company name.<\/p>\n

The best practice when utilizing images into your contractor logo is by using images that relate to your contracting business.<\/p>\n

A house or a tool are great examples. The inspiration could be something as simple as an office pet or a slick way to insert a smiley face or a thumbs up.<\/p>\n

This is also a good opportunity to look at trademarking to protect your company\u2019s logo and image.<\/p>\n

2. Use a Custom Font<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to go on a document program and create a contractor logo yourself. Or download a pre-made font. But anyone can use that approach, and then your logo will look the same as a competitor. Is that really what you want?<\/p>\n

A custom font helps catch the eyes of prospective clients. Hire a graphic designer or use a custom font program.<\/p>\n

3. Color Matters<\/h2>\n

You want your contractor logo to be polished but aesthetically pleasing. Designers also understand this, which is why they take a major approach to color<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Different colors convey different emotions. People often associate colors to specific things.<\/p>\n

Choose a color palette that corresponds with your business. For a contracting business, red, browns, and oranges are most effective. If you want to be safe, black and white logos never go out of style.<\/p>\n

4. Use Your Service in the Logo<\/h2>\n

Say your service is something along the lines of web design home remodeling companies<\/a>. Use your service terms in your logo.<\/p>\n

Even though you refer to your company by your company name, using your service in the logo helps your clients understand your practice.<\/p>\n

You can also create a DBA (\u2018doing business as\u2019 or a fictitious name) to assist with legalities, especially if your LLC or other business filing is under your company name.<\/p>\n

5. Include Your State or City<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re centrally located in a specific city or state, feel free to mention that in your logo. This helps when clients want to specifically find contracts local to their area.<\/p>\n

It also helps increase local SEO, so your name appears on more local search results.<\/p>\n

Time to Create Your Contractor Logo<\/h2>\n

A logo can make or break your contracting business. Whether you choose a specific color or image, these factors can impact a potential client.<\/p>\n

A great logo doesn\u2019t have to be complex, but you need to know the knowledge to have a great logo.<\/p>\n
