Why having a strong logo is important
Does your business have a strong logo? Your logo makes an impression and, in essence, is your brand identity. Having a great logo builds your brand’s reputation, establishes a sense of longevity, and creates a memorable visual identity with your customers.
A strong logo is visually appealing, legible and reflects your mission statement. Your logo should be unique to your business while remaining relevant to your industry. For example, law firms and government agencies often opt for logos with more of a classic, traditional feel, and use neutral or primary colours. Businesses in the creative sector, as well as cafes and clothing stores can get away with a more whimsical logo that might experiment with unique fonts and bright or unusual colours.
The Cities and Oceans logo incorporates bright colours and a unique font to give the viewer an idea of the blogger’s content and style.
The Rotary 100 Logo
The request was to have a logo that commemorated the organizations 100th Anniversary within the community of Sault Ste. Marie. It was also required for the announcement and launch of a “Rotary Gives” charitable campaign where $100,000 would be given to deserving community members through an application process. The logo design had to capture the excitement of the campaign, while emphasizing the celebratory nature of achieving a milestone anniversary. “People” was the word used to describe the desired logo visual the Celebrate 100 committee wished to see.
By following the branding guidelines of Rotary International, CC Communications was able to design a logo that encapsulated the sense of celebration and personhood that the organization looked to achieve. The use of bright colours in the centre of the numerical 100 resembles a firework, made up of people joined by hand. The circle they form completes the centre zero in the numerical “100” emphasizing unity.
Having a strong logo helps you grow online
The visual cue of your logo on your website and social media profiles helps customers recognize your brand across various social media networks. This assists in the development of your overall brand recognition online.
Your website is also an extension of your brand and should compliment your logo and brand colours.
