What Makes A Good Logo?

Designing logos is one of the important logoparts of a blog design. A premium theme with a simple text logo, doesn’t look good. It spoils the brilliant look of your premium theme. So its important to pay special attention to your blog logo.

A decent blog logo carves a good impression of your blog and on the contrary a logo with extreme graphics and colors not matching your blog design leaves a bad impression on the readers.

Here a few things to keep in mind while designing your logo to make it the best.

1. Simplistic Design Looks The Best

Simple logos look the best. Just the blog name and a short line describing your blog in the logo, occupying the minimum space can considered as a good logo. So keep your logo simple.

2. Use Easily Readable Fonts

Do not use cartoonistic fonts unless your blog belongs to that niche. I suggest using simple bold fonts which can be read easily. Some of those fonts are Impact, Arial, etc. They are the basic ones available. You can alternatively download other fonts from various font sites.

3. Search For Ideas

Before starting to design your blog logo always make sure you visit some other blogs for ideas. You may thus get many excellent design ideas.

4. Use .PNG Format

I always use .PNG format for all my logos. They not look the best, but have many benefits too. When you keep the background transparent and store your logo in .GIF or .JPG format, the background in the image becomes black, but in .PNG format it doesn’t. Also I’ve noticed that .PNG images have a better shine and finishing. So I suggest you to use .PNG logos.

5. Make The Logo Stand Out

Suppose you use Arial font in your blog, then don’t design your logo in the same font because there is a chance that your text, headings will look similar to your logo. This will reduce attraction. Choose a different font.

So are you ready to design your logo? Need any more help, do not hesitate to comment. We will love to help you out.

  5. Your right Saksham. And I agree to your tips. I used to deal with logo makings before and it took me time to finish one logo. Because I do a lot of research before I start. I also relate the logo to the products and services that the business offers. And also it would be better to create a unique logo. Lastly creating a simple logo is good to serious companies. Anyway thanks for sharing this one. Thumbs up!

    Indeed. The logo of a blog should be representative of itself. I subscribe to the idea that simplicity can catch more attention more than superfluous designs. It’s all about the play of colors and lines. So, how should my blog logo look like if its title is Life’s Fiery Colours?

    Hi, I guess AAA Logomaker will work for all.. All, you need is to design a LOGO and take a screenshot. :) . I had did the same in my site. But, now I wanna change the same.

  11. Hi there, really interesting blog and well worth a good read. As a MD of a design agency in Leeds UK called Definitive Creative (www.definitive-creative.co.uk) we have more recently moved in to brand management and there are so many people who fall in to the trap of simply ‘designing a logo’.

    I believe that the creation of a memorable identity requires extensive brand research and profiling with matched company vision and values. Only after a full and comprehensive brand audit does it become possible to design an identity that truly reflects the company personality and vision.

    I think it’s also quite easy to tailor a brand process to every customer no matter what their spend is. After all any form of marketing is about increasing revenue for any business.
