It’s important to be clear on who your potential customers are and design the look of your logo to appeal to those who will be using your services.A logo for a flower shop could include a unusual character style and a bright color.

Decide whether to include your company’s name into the logo.

Of course,you want to build name recognition for your business,but making the name part of your logo design may not always be a good idea.Include the name if it is reasonably distinctive but not yet a household word.Do not include the name if it is too long,and doesn’t translate well globally or lacks personality.

Be inspired by but don’t copy successful logos.

While it might be easy to create something that looks like your favorite company’s logo,it will leave an impression on consumers that you’re lazy and uninspired. Look at logos of other companies.【4】These examples give you ideas of what to do and what to avoid.

Keep it simple.

While it may be easy to try to give a lot of messages with your design,trying to do too much will ruin your logo.【5】If there are too many messages in your logo, it will be difficult for the customer to process.
