What is a Logo?
Logos are images, texts, shapes, or a combination of the three that depict the name and purpose of a business – to put it simply. However, a logo can and should be more than a symbol of identification. If designed well, it also tells a company’s story, by conveying your brand message in a way that helps to establish an emotional connection with your target audience.
Color
Colors go way beyond aesthetic appeal – they’re the core communicators of your message. They tell your audience if you’re playful or serious, innovative or wholesome, cutting-edge or timeless.
Typography
This is basically what all of us non-design folks think of as a font; typography includes
the letters you’d see in a logo, arranged in some kind of consistent design.
Tagline
Situated under a logo, a tagline typically comprises of a sentence or catchphrase designed to hook your audience, or clarify what your company does.
Image
An image can range from the simplest arrow to a detailed rendition of an abstract orangutan. It can be an icon, a symbol; perhaps a picture that represents something or a value you stand.
Type of Logos
Creating Brand Value
A logotype is a type-based logo which focuses exclusively on the name of a business. If the business has a snappy and succinct name, wordmark logos can help to reinforce the memorability of the brand name through clever choice of font and use of color.

Other advantages of wordmark logos include the fact that they boost name recognition, are clear and timeless, and can be applied across a wide variety of media. A combination of wordmarks can also clearly indicate a sister brand, collaborations, or brand partnerships to the consumer.
Lettermark logos are typography-based logo designs which simplify a brand name into its initials or a single letter abbreviation. Also called monogram logos, lettermark logos are often used by businesses with long, complicated names to create a more concise and recognizable brand identity.
They can be used to bring a smart look to business cards and corporate branding.

Monogram logos can also be used to reinforce an impression of luxury and exclusivity, as seen in the logo designs of fashion brands Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, and Chanel.
For symbol logos, pictures speak louder than words. Symbol logos consist of graphic symbols or icons that represent a brand. They rarely feature any text or letterforms.
Symbol logos consist of graphic symbols or icons that represent a brand.
To ensure even greater brand recognition, some symbol logos use a simple symbol that acts as a pictograph, an image which directly represents the text name of the brand.
For example, Shell uses—you guessed it—a shell icon as a visual symbol, and Apple uses a logo design that pictures the fruit.
A dynamic representation of a brand’s identity, an animated logo uses animation or motion graphics to incorporate movement into a logo reveal or simple animated quirk.
These creative and interactive animated logos can be used effectively on video advertising, social media videos, or online platforms to enhance the brand’s uniqueness, helping it to stand out in a competitive market.

Mascot logos use a recognizable character or cartoon to represent the brand. Accessible, fun, and memorable, one of the advantages of mascot logos is that they build a powerful brand persona into the logo design.
In this way, the mascot logo becomes more than a simple logo design, but rather a personification of the brand that consumers can build an emotional attachment to.
Mascot logos use a recognizable character or cartoon to represent the brand.
Sports brands often uses mascot logos to reinforce a sense of team spirit, while other brands might use mascot logos to appeal to younger audiences or families, particularly for toy brands or food products.
Abstract logo marks represent a brand through use of abstract shapes, colors, and lines, resulting in a unique identity that moves away from literal imagery.
Popular with companies who want to put across a sense of innovation and creativity, abstract logo marks have become widespread across tech branding and as unique icon designs for apps or social media branding.
With good reason, too. A 2019 study, published in the Journal of Marketing Research, indicated that abstract logos were the most effective type of logo used amongst a range of 597 well-known brands.
Abstract logo marks represent a brand through use of abstract shapes, colors, and lines.
Abstract logo types vary from geometric shapes to loose interpretations of letterforms, but they are always intriguingly enigmatic. These abstract symbols leave room for interpretation, allowing viewers to dive a little deeper and form their own impression of a brand.
One of the oldest styles of logo design, emblem logos encapsulate an image, multiple images, and/or text within a badge, frame, or crest.
The company name is often enclosed in a traditional emblem logo design, and emblem logos may also include foundation dates or company location.
Emblem logos encapsulate an image, multiple images, and/or text within a badge, frame, or crest.
Traditional emblem logos are used to give a brand a sense of authority, tradition, or prestige, and are commonly seen in use by government organizations, universities, or other official institutions.
Younger brands may also benefit from an emblem logo style to lend greater establishment or authority.
Combination logos combine text and pictorial elements to create a comprehensive logo design that includes both symbolic imagery and the brand name.
If you are in doubt about which type of logo to use in your own branding, a combination mark logo is a tried-and-tested brand strategy that is clear to see and read.
Combination logos combine text and pictorial elements together, to create a comprehensive logo design that includes both symbolic imagery and the brand name.
To create an even more effective combination logo design, you can use the imagery to reinforce the name of the brand or communicate the brand’s function, message, or values.
For example, the Pizza Hut logo design tops the brand name with a symbolic “roof,” reinforcing the “Hut” of the brand name and giving the whole logo a homey, welcoming feel.
A relatively recent trend in logo design, dynamic logos are fluid and flexible logos that change to create different variations of the same design. In order for a dynamic logo to be successful, it must be recognizable as the same logo design.
As such, designers often tweak just one element—such as color or arrangement of forms—to adapt the logo design in a subtle way.
In the example of Airbnb, the home-hosting platform used different colors and hand-drawn brush strokes to recreate the original abstract icon for a marketing campaign.
Dynamic logos are fluid and flexible logos that change to create different variations of the same design.
Dynamic logos will likely be more successful if the brand is already well-established. In this way, viewers are so used to seeing the original brand mark that variations on the design are more easily processed.
