If you have trouble designing a memorable and meaningful logo for your company or brand, or if you just don't know where to start, then you may want to take a look at these 8 top tips for logo design.
1. Colors are Vital
Before you even start on your logo, you want to have a color palette. This may sound like it's pretty trivial, but it can be quite complex. Different colors can convey entirely different meanings. A Blue and Black logo can convey an entirely different message than a Yellow and White logo, even if the actual imagery is exactly the same. Black, Blue or Brown could give viewers the impression that you're more professional, powerful or credible, whereas Orange, Yellow, or Pink could make your company seem more friendly, fun,

If your logo looks just like everyone else's, then it will be easier to forget and stand out less. However, if your logo is unique and really pops out, then more people will remember and recognize it. Creating a completely unique logo may not be as easy as just copying a well-known formula or making something that looks like another popular logo. But it can really benefit you to have a logo that anyone can recognize as yours. An example of a company with a unique and memorable logo is the NBC Peacock logo. It catches the eye, as well as reflecting the company's …show more content…
Many businesses use negative space to their advantage when designing their logos, often making the logos look more clever or unique. A great example of a logo that takes advantage of negative space is the FedEx logo with the cleverly hidden arrow between the E and the X, conveying a sense of speed and movement.
6. Active vs. Passive Logos
Making your logo seem more active by instilling a sense of motion is a great way to help convey your message. One example would be the Twitter logo. Instead of the bird sitting perched or lying still, it's depicted flying upwards. Making it seem more lifelike, and conveying a sense of motion. As well as making the logo more unique and memorable. However, this isn't appropriate in every case, such as with Microsoft or IBM. This practice is usually best when your logo includes a mascot, or if you want to convey a sense of movement.
7. Your Logo Should Represent You
Your logo should represent your company or business. A logo that doesn't correctly represent you can do more harm than good. But a logo that correctly represents your business and its values can be a powerful tool for building a strong brand. Some examples of logos that represent their companies well are the Twitter and Microsoft logos, as well as the Apple logo. They're immediately recognizable and represent their companies extremely
Logos means the persuading by the use of reasoning. For example, “ No one even knows whether salmon can even survive in the lower San Joaquin, which has temperatures more suitable for bass and bluegill, (McEwen 1).” The quote is clearly a display of logos because the author demonstrates to the reader that the government does not even make sure the salmon can survive in the lower San Joaquin, which then convinces the reader the project is not well thought out and cannot be trusted. I agree with the author’s viewpoint because if the government was really interested in the benefits for people, the representatives would have looked into all the details necessary to be able to succeed with the project. Another example of the author stating logos on his article for the reader to get a better understanding of what the government really cares for is, “Besides, scientific evidence suggests that California’s salmon problems have been caused in large part by oceanic conditions and the environmental mess that is the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta (McEwen 1).” This quote is an alternative representation of logos since it proves a fact. The fact makes the reader extra believable since he uses scientific evidence about California’s salmon problems. It is clear to me the position that is superior to the other one because there have been numerous studies proving this project will
If you use a device within the logo to facilitate it, think about adding some movement for it. This "movement" is not about adding animation, but rather than the size, placement, and rotation of the parts within the design. For example, if one is caught "caught" on a mid-jump, then a fish will appear in motion. In addition, you should keep in mind the direction of motion.
An example of logos in the movie is when Westley and Inigo are sword fighting, comparing their abilities using different techniques.
Logos mostly refers to the structure and content of the text itself. When working with logos the meaning and logic of the film itself has to come into play. In the movie Of Mice and Men, Lenny continued to get into trouble, causing George to have to relocate them. George always knew that Lenny was going to get them in trouble due to all of the stunts he pulled and the fact that he was constantly forgetting things that were important. At first, the theme of the movie was fairly happy-go-lucky, then Lenny’s story of why they were there got out and he began to cause trouble again. When he started to cause trouble again, the movie turned more ominous. Eventually George had to kill...

For example they use logos for when they talk about how many children are starving, how to fix the problem, and why there is a problem.
We see ads everywhere though-out our day even if we know it or not. Ads that make an attempt to persuade us one way or another. It could be to persuade someone into buying a product or even helping children that are in need. Either way, all these ads use certain persuasive methods, which include ethos, pathos or, logos, to get peoples attention. I saw an ad created by the National Association for Gun Rights. Obviously this ad is trying to let people that we have a right to have own guns. The ad shows a woman pointing a gun with the words “Mama didn’t raise a victim”. I’ve decided that the author was targeting woman that can presumably be victims of assault/abuse at any time. Given this information, the author is using pathos to let us know of the dangers that can be encountered at any given time as well as ethos because of the organization promoting the ad and even a bit of logos.
The additional use of logos promotes consumers to invest in
My dad used to say, " be part of something that's bigger than yourself". He always uses to force be to play sports. I chose to play basketball after seeing the all start game of 2009. Ever since I wanted to jump, shoot and Run back and forth. My dad thought it'll help be grow taller, which wasn't the case. Basket ball is more about communication but that's not true. It is about hard work, percesion, trust, being punctual and most importantly dedication. Through ethos, logos and pathos I will elaborate how being on the team change my
Many veterans in the nation are struggling to find clothes, shelter, and food. Veterans from the Vietnam War until the most recent wars do not receive the appreciation and the care that they deserve. Due to the lost cause during the Vietnam War, many Americans turned away from supporting the military. After the Vietnam War, military antipathy was on the rise. In the 21st Century, organizations such as Wounded Warrior, Salvation Army, and Travis Manion Foundation are some of the few that provide aid for military veterans. Although someone can argue that veterans receive enough aid from these organizations, a great deal of veterans are sleeping in public shelter homes or wandering in the streets begging for food and clothes.

There are many ways that the Obama speech portrays logos. For example in his speech he states that, “We’ve worked together to give more of our children a shot at a quality education; to help more families rise up out of poverty; to protect future generations from environmental damage; to create fair housing; to help more workers find good jobs”. President Obama uses logical reason in this quote because he is giving reasons for how we help students get a shot at education and how we helped unemployed people find good jobs. Another example where President Obama uses logos is where he states, “Murderers, Predators, Rapists, Gang leaders, Drug kingpins we need some of those folks behind bars. Our communities are safer, thanks to brave police officers and hardworking prosecutors who put those violent criminals in jail.” What this means is that President Obama is giving a good logical reason as into why these criminals
When logos used, it’s to show the audience logic to persuade them by reason. If the facts or information is true and prove a statement over the argument then that is the use of logos. For example, the movie Twelve Angry Men (1957) directed by Sidney Lumet, an 18-year-old Latino boy is accused for murder of his father. When the all the points lead him to killing his father, Juror No. 8 (Henry Fonda) has reason that the boy is innocent, which leads to long periods of arguments. This scene is when Juror No. 9 (Joseph Sweeny) see’s Juror No. 4 (E.G. Marshall) rubs his irritated nose from his glasses. That’s when Juror No. 9 ask if Juror No. 4 sleeps with his glasses and as he replies with no. Juror No. 9 suspects that the women had the same glasses marks on her nose which she rubbed just like Juror No. 8 and with logical reasoning she wouldn’t be able to see the murder at night if she was sleeping and woke up. So when the other jurors change there vote to guilty to not guilty Juror No. 3 (Lee J Cobb) is the only one whose vote is still guilty and all jurors try to convince Juror No. 3 that logically she wouldn’t sleep with her glasses on and she wouldn’t be able to put her glasses fast enough to see the murder. In the end, this argument was successful, and logos is shown that the women didn’t see the murderer because she doesn’t sleep with her
Teams and companies is often as creative because they want with inventing a mascot. The mascot may represent they colors, personal characteristics a group or company takes pride in, or it's really a creation all its very own. Mascots could use actions or dances which make them unique inside a physical way.

Melanie Martinez uses logos most effectively in “Mrs.Potato Head”. In one line she sings “Potatoes turn to French fries, yeah it's common sense.” This is a metaphor the potato being Ms.Potato Head also known as the young girls, and french fries is supposed to be ugly. Then in a few lines, she restates this in “Baby soft skin turns into leather.” Although she did seem to use pathos greatly in this song, logos was most
