emotional connection<\/a>\u00a0between the viewer and your company. Color creates meaning for logos.<\/p>\nAvoid using too many different colors, conflicting shades, and placing colors over backgrounds that make it hard to see. Stick to warm or cool tones. Don\u2019t put them together.<\/p>\n
Mistake 2: Picking an Inappropriate Font<\/h3>\n
Some try too hard to stand out from the pack when thinking about ideas for designs, but this can backfire.<\/p>\n
You want to be unique, but you don\u2019t want to be off-putting. Avoid putting two business logo fonts that don\u2019t go together in your design.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t use all capital letters with calligraphy. Keep it simple and pick a font that matches the tone of your business.<\/p>\n
Mistake 3: Making it Similar to Others<\/h3>\n
It is important not to go so far from the norm that you leave people scratching their heads, but you\u2019ve also got to ensure your logo doesn\u2019t look like a rip off of another business.<\/p>\n
Budget in the time to research other logos in your field to make sure what you\u2019re thinking of hasn\u2019t already been used before. It could be an innocent mistake, but it will hurt your credibility and possibly bring legal trouble if you copy another logo.<\/p>\n
Mistake 4: Letters Overlapping<\/h3>\n
Something you should avoid is having the letters in your logo overlap or touch each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You might think that it looks cool, but unless you\u2019re only using one or two letters, it can make it very hard to read.<\/p>\n
Mistake 5: Making Your Logo Too Complicated<\/h3>\n
You don\u2019t want your logo to be too busy. Sometimes people have a tendency to go all out in order to stand out. You don\u2019t have to go crazy to make an impression.<\/p>\n
Avoid overly loud colors and hard to read fonts. Don\u2019t try and jam in more information than people can easily absorb. A little goes a long way here. Keep it simple and easy to read.<\/p>\n
Get Started<\/h2>\n
Keep these 5 mistakes in mind and avoid them as you\u2019re creating a logo for your business. If you keep it simple while communicating your uniqueness, you should be in great shape to make an effective design.<\/p>\n
