Title: Getting a Great Logo Design Begins With Finding Designers You Can Trust
1Getting a Great Logo Design Begins With Finding
Designers You Can TrustYou can find people who
will do logo design for almost nothing. Did you
notice the first sentence says people not
graphic designers? Professionals who do
logodesign are not a dime a dozen. Their work
can be found inexpensively, but the difference
between professional design and the work of
amateurs is significant. A Professional in
Logo Design Understands Everything You NeedYou
may be thinking a logo is just a simple graphic
file. That may sound great, but when you only
have a simple JPG file it will not scale in size
without becoming highly distorted. If you choose
to add it to a canvas bag, t-shirts, or banners
you will have a really big problem. You need
vector based graphics which maintain their
quality no matter how large you scale them, or
how small you shrink them.This becomes even
more important if you will be using your logo
with a printing service. They will not accept
your JPG file but will insist on getting an EPS
file. While the vector based EPS file is
perfect for many situations, the lowly JPG file
is what you need for your websites and online
profiles. A professional will provide you with
both, often offering you several sizes of JPG
files.

3Do Not Be Limited By Your Own VisionWhile you
may have some great ideas of your own, you could
just as easily be having logo design block. High
quality graphic designers understand you may not
have any ideas and are going to trust them to
make a logodesign which matches your industry and
company personality.A professional will provide
you with two or three different logo designs to
choose from. You select the one you prefer and
then give your designer feedback on any changes
you want, which leads us to the next important
topic.The Professional Correction Loop Process
of DesignThis is where amateurs and
professionals part company. Professionals
understand just because they created a logo the
job is not finished. An amateur will create a
logo, send it to you, and be finished with the
project. The company you choose for logo design
should offer a correction loop process. Ideally
you want 3 loops in the process. This allows you
to resubmit the logo back to the designer more
than one time for corrections or adjustments to
make sure you are satisfied. The Real Magic in
Logo Design Is a Partnership of MindsThe place
real magic takes place when logo design is the
collaborative process of you and your designer.
You start off by explaining your basic thoughts
and ideas. They bounce ideas back to you to make
sure you are thinking the same way. Your
designer then creates several logos for the two
of your to evaluate and discuss. You then start
into the correction loop phase to fine tune the
ideas. The entire professional logodesign
process ends with you receiving a logo which fits
your company, flows from your ideas, and is
enhanced by a professional designer, a logo with
impact.
