Logo design and style guides make your company

Why logo design and style guides are priority one

Logo design and style guides are not just important, they’re everything.

Logo design

Designing a great logo is like creating a great movie protagonist. Even when the story is exciting, directors still need to make us care. You know, show us what makes the protagonist tick. That tick is all about emotion.

Is he patriotic? Selfless? People loving?

Great logos work the same way. Audiences will respond to your company if your logo reflects a personality or value they’re drawn to.

Think about it. The UPS logo is based on a glossy golden shield — Safety, in a word.

Here are some others:

1. Rolex. A crown above the name signals not just quality, but the finest quality, good enough for the royals.
2. Apple. Apple wanted to tip its hat to Isaac Newton and the great mind that discovered gravity, thus aligning the computer manufacturer, whose early market was public schools, with curiosity and education.
3. Coca-Cola. Today’s Coca-Cola logo isn’t far from its 1887 logo. The longhand font brings to mind values of yore — school and hard work among them. The first two Cs are decorated with round “cherries,” perhaps a nod to soda fountain versions of cherry Coke. In a word, nostalgia.
4. Nike. Perhaps the most iconic of logos, Nike’s implies movement and speed. Today, Nike doesn’t even use the name of its company with the artwork. The swoosh speaks for itself.

You may be the best financial advisor, trade association, or plumber. Only if you can connect on an emotional level with your audience will they consider your services.

We help you generate the brand that is your business. The brand that will attract and keep your audience. The brand that will make you money.

Style guides

A style guide is a visual reference to using your brand across media, including print, social media, broadcast, and your own website.

Your style guide displays:

• Acceptable uses of logos
• Links to actual art
• Rules about using logo
• When to use certain graphic formats

Style guides may also reference words, tone, and other non-visual aspects of your logo and wording that may accompany it.
