One thing I've found helpful while designing logo is that it should me appealing and meaningful regardless of the size. If can clearly convey the message in any size. Another thing it should be clearly visible in neutral colors(black, white, grey.

Also make sure your colors work for both web and print. Certain colors aren’t available for both. Make sure your font works for web if you plan to use it in anywhere on your website. It is necessary for it to be visible on most people’s devices. Google fonts and many Adobe fonts are good to use for body copy and headers for web design. If you pick very specialized fonts you won’t be able to use them online for multiple headers. This is good to keep in mind while choosing your logo fonts and branding guidelines.

-Keep it Minimal and Memorable. -Make sure the colors you pick work well both online and in printed materials-Check that the font you choose for your logo looks good on different devices.

You should have several options for your logo. - Full one- just text- just elementIt would be best if you thought beforehand about how the client will use it and on which occasions it will be.Because so often you can meet complicated logo, and if you don't have it in a simple way too, you lose the attention of customers to your brand.

Simplicity is the key to making the logo suitable for work in all sizes and formats and usable on all platforms and printing materials. Simplicity also increases the audience's connection to the logo and makes it easily recognizable among competitors quickly. Simplicity does not conflict with creativity, but on the contrary, it increases it. The challenge of achieving the equation between simplicity and creativity is the ideal thing in this case.

Testing is a very important process when designing a logo. There are 2 ways you can deal with this.1. If you're going with standard combinations that proform in any space or material. You can have less concentration on the testing. As it already is proven and performed and one catch here is. It might not be unique.People expect a logo to be unique and to stand-out.2. If you go with your own combinations and theme. It's highly recommended to test in different variations, forms and on different materials. Mainly prioritising your use-cases before finishing the logo. Now, The choice is yours!

Testing is crucial! For each logo designed, it is a good idea to not only build it in color on a white canvas, but to pair it with an option on black and on another brand color. This will not only show you what other color variations the logo might possibly need, but also how the weight of white will hold on a black background. A common misconception is that your logo will behave the same on different backgrounds. Oddly enough, when transformed to an all white version, the logo will carry a heavier weight. This may encourage you to backtrack to your original design, rethinking its original state before making final decisions.

You've got a design, you've chosen the colours and fonts etc, but unless that logo works in a single colour in a small size (to go on a pen for example), or as large as a side of a building, without any loss of quality, then it isn't a logo that works. Think about the best known logos. The Nikes and the Apples of the world, they work this way. Those logos exist as vector logos, and logos that are not available as vectors, are not fit for purpose. Ensure your designer (or if you are a designer, learn how to do it) creates and supplies your logo as a vector file.

Ao concluir o arquivo do seu logotipo, assegure-se de converter o texto em contorno e vetorizar todos os elementos. Não se esqueça de selecionar o padrão de cores apropriado, utilizando RGB para arquivos web e CMYK para impressões.
