So what are some brand identity benefits of custom logo design?
1. It can tell new potential consumers information about your company
t only takes consumers a few seconds to scan over a logo and process what they are seeing. So if you have an interesting and well-designed logo, it can be used as an awesome tool to draw someone’s attention to your company. If a consumer is simply scrolling through Twitter and a Tweet from your company pops up, even if the consumer disregards the text, they might see the logo and still be intrigued. A logo can give a consumer a quick idea of what your company is about, what it sells, and can portray a certain emotion to a consumer.
According to Crowdspring “It only takes consumers 10 seconds to form a first impression of a brand’s logo.” So in order to leave a positive impression and to generate intrigue, you will want your logo to be clear, potentially include an image or symbol, and you will want to use color to your advantage. In fact, a signature color can increase brand recognition by 80% (Crowdspring).
Which leads us to the next benefit a custom logo design can have on your brand’s identity:
2. It can create and build brand recognition
A custom logo should be used as the face (or icon) of your company across all social platforms, on business cards, in emails, and so on.
