Let’s start at the beginning. Why is important to have a logo?

Having a unique logo creates a visual identity for your business, represents the activity, the mission, or the core values of your business. As it communicates ownership, it differentiates your company from the competitors. At BURIBA gamified branding agency, we think that a logo works like a memory game. It pairs a graphic symbol or a picture with your business name which contributes to an easier and faster brand recognition. A good logo grabs the attention and supports brand loyalty.

Your logo plays a much more important part in your future customers’ decision making than you might think:

60% of people will avoid a company with unattractive logos regardless of how great their reviews are
75% say logos are the most recognizable brand identifier
50% of people are more likely to buy from brands whose logos they recognize
brand loyalty is worth ten times more than a signal purchase

What makes a good logo?

At BURIBA gamified branding agency, we always say that a good logo is something that you can draw by your own hand. It should be simple, relevant, and unique. It should be an outstanding graphical presentation of a common symbol. The characteristics of a good logo can be optical illusion, a creative shape, gamified fonts, or a surprising element in the negative space of the icon. Naturally a good logo is timeless and proportional. Regarding the colours, there should be only 1-2 leading colours that help the audience to identify and recognize the brand. The logo should be able to places on a white, black and colourful background too therefore it’s important to have it in various formats and colours from inverse to transparent.

What makes a logo bad?

Let’s mention the two extremes.

First, when the logo is just too much. Too many colours, too many details, when the logo is just too complex. The logos are not paintings placed in Louvre. You cannot discuss its brush techniques for hours. Keep in mind that your logo should be also recognizable when it’s only 100 pixels.

Second, when the logo is too generic. Don’t use an icon that you can discover in hundreds of logos in Google, Shutterstock, or ClipArt. We know that it is very tempting to use a free logo maker or pay $100 to a junior designer but if you want to respect your plans, you have to start your company right, prepare your branding kit like you are about to launch a unicorn company.

Abstract logos: These logos are made of an icon that is tailor-made for the business. The icon has usually no physical equivalence in the real world, it is mostly inspired by online symbols and characteristics of the business.
Mascot logos: These logos use images of a character or person that act as a visual representation of your business. They are like your brand’s “spokesperson”. They often look like cartoon characters.

Name-based logos:

Wordmark logos: These are the text-only logos where the focus is on the business name and therefore on the chosen fonts.
