Logos have 5 important design elements: • Describable. • Memorable. • Effective without colour. • Scalable i.e. work when just 2cm in size. • Relevant to the industry in question.
Different Types of Logos: • Wordmark logo – mainly uses text and typeface to create its message, though other elements might be included e.g. Google. • Lettermark logo – similar to a wordmark but consists of initials or abbreviations e.g. like the one used by BBC. • Brandmark logo – a graphic symbol usually simple but powerful, that comes to represent the company in an abstract way e.g. Nike, Apple. • A combination mark logo – (also called an iconic logotype) combines a wordmark with a brandmark, communicating both a company’s identity and its purpose e.g. Audi.
