For small businesses looking to create a lasting impression, a logo is an essential tool. A good logo should be memorable, unique, and simple. Using bright colours and creative fonts can add visual interest while subtlety conveying the message of your business. Additionally, your logo should remain consistent across all mediums– website, print materials, merchandise, etc. This consistency helps build recognition for your brand as well as creating continuity for customers. That is why using a designer who is experienced in creating logos for small businesses can offer a great return on investment in the long run.
Designing a logo for a small business typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the availability of both client and myself. This timeline is broken up into phases, with each phase focusing on different aspects of the design process. In the beginning stages, I will focus largely on research and brainstorming to ensure that the direction of the logo is well thought out. Afterwards, there will be multiple rounds of concept development and feedback from the client to home in on the perfect design that suits their needs. Ultimately, designing a logo for a small business requires collaboration between both parties to streamline communication and keep projects moving forward efficiently. With dedication and proper planning, your project can go from idea to final product without any hiccups!

Absolutely. I'm a professional graphic designer with plenty of experience designing logos, and I would love to help you spruce up yours! With the right design, your logo can become more than just an eye-catcher - it will become something that energises and motivates your audience.
Absolutely! Companies often have multiple sub-brands, products and services that require different visual treatments. As a graphic designer, I know how to create identities that represent a company while still standing out as individual offerings within the larger brand. Brands may even use the same type of design elements (like fonts or colours) in each logo so there is a unifying theme across all of their products and services.
