Logo design

There is nothing more satisfying than starting your own business and seeing your logo in print or on your web site. At Mind we use a mixture of great type, a little flair and originality to create a logo that you will be proud to add to your Business card or flyer. We create these logos in 8 stages

 

Below is a summary of the whole design process for quick review.

 

1.Design Brief: Conduct Questionnaire or Interview with client to get the design brief.

 

2.Research: Conduct research focused on the industry itself, on its history, and on its competitors.

 

3.Reference: Conduct research into logo designs that have been successful and current styles and trends  

  that are related to the design brief.

 

4.Sketching & Conceptualising: Develop the logo design concept(s) around the brief and research.

 

5.Reflection: Take breaks throughout the design process. This lets the ideas mature and for the designer to get

   renewed enthusiasm. Receive feedback.

 

6.Positioning: Position yourself as a contractor or build a long lasting relationship. ie. Client orders you what to do OR

   You guide client to the best solution.

 

7.Presentation: Choose to present only a select few logos to the client or a whole collection.

 

8.Celebration: Drink beer, eat chocolate, sleep, start on next logo design. Or a combination.

 

Moral

When given a brief, every designer interprets in their own way and if an assignment is given to 100 different designers, it would return 100 different logos, few of which would resemble each other. Though we all endlessly conjecture what makes a ‘good‘ or ‘bad‘ logo, we must remember in the end, the ultimate arbiter of logo design greatness may only be the satisfied, paying client.

Our approach is much the same as all of our projects, First we listen, then we challenge the idea to understand the brand and the concept and then research the competitors, to then submit a site worthy of any business.
