Just a few of the basics for the main contact.
Coining a new business name can be tough. If coming up with a name or slogan is something you want help with, let's chat. If you don't yet have this information, go ahead and skip this part.
Asking these questions on the spot during a live consultation can sometimes be a little overwhelming. Great things take time! With that in mind, I made this form so you have a little more to think about your answers. If you have any questions, please shoot me a message.
1. 2. 3.
Being precise with my classifications of style helps narrow down the perfect logo for your business. I breakdown the difference between a Wordmark, Lettermark & Letterform, along with several other types. Think about where your logo will be used and seen. If it's going on more than stationery, you also need to think about scalability. Most logos need to be able to "work" as small as 3 centimeters.
Abstract
An abstract logo is an impressionistic visualization relating to art in the traditional sense, emphasizing linework, colour & generalized forms. Accompanied by your brand's name, it's a great way to say it (without saying it).
Emblem
Emblem logos are a blend of your brand name, symbols, or pictorials within crests, shields, or geometric shapes.
Lettermark
A lettermark is an abbreviation of your brand name, similar to a monogram, just for your brand. HBO is a great example of that.
Letterform
A letterform is just one letter used to represent your brand name. This is usually accompanied by the name of your brand or project.
Mascot
It could be fun to create a character to represent your brand. Who doesn't love Mr. Clean?
Pictorial
On the traditional side of things, we have the pictorial mark. Think, Folgers. They have a wonder mountainscape with rolling hills and a bursting sun. They also have that recognizable typeface as their wordmark. You know the one.
Symbol or Brandmark
These logotypes are typically stand-alone graphics that work beside your brand name by accenting your logo but aren't necessarily needed. If you get to be so well-known that you can drop the name beside the symbol, that's a win!
Wordmark
A wordmark is a customized design of your brand name that includes an emphasis on a stand-alone, stylized typeface only. Elements such as colour, kerning, and style are the key elements in representing your business without additional symbols or pictorials.
Combination Mark
A combination mark is a blend of a wordmark, letterform, lettermark, pictorial, abstract mark or mascot logotype with an added typographic treatment of your brand name, showcasing both.
