A good logo has few details that are thoughtfully selected to pass the business's agenda to the public. All the aspects of the logo are placed on the logo to sell the business' brand artfully.

You may also incur more costs when printing that logo because the printing costs go high as you increase the colors.

You cannot talk about great logos without talking about logos that do not have pictures or images. There is a class of logos that are composed of texts only. The text is the name of the business written in a font that communicates the brand of the business. For instance, if the business is known for elegance, then the font selected should communicate that when starting a business. The same should be done if at all the business deals in products linked with fun then, by all means, use playful fonts. The color and size of the text matters, therefore put the text in a color and size that will communicate effectively.

​

Last but not least, the logo should be original to your business. Although you may get ideas from other logos the end product should be unique to you. It would be sad if your logo were to be confused for your competitors. Therefore, take deliberate actions to make your logo authentic.
