To simplify this gibberish, a logo is the main way to identify a company. You may think this is just a pretty design, but then why are companies willing to pay hundreds, or thousands of dollars for the creation of a logo?

Firstly, be aware that a logo has much more crucial functions than simply identifying a business. A logo expresses your company’s values, personality and message. Its colors, shapes and font type directly influence your target customers.

First, colors can evoke emotions :

Secondly, shapes have a symbolism and transmit a message according to the context in which they are used.

Thirdly, font type is probably the least known marketing impact, and yet one of the most significant! Several large companies create their own font type for all their communication medium.

The importance of a high quality logo is undeniable, and the creation process too!
