What makes a great logo… and what to pay.

When logo design prices range from 50 grand to 50 bucks (for a cheesy prefab logo) it’s no wonder business owners are confused about logo cost. The answer lies somewhere in the middle with independent designers and design firms offering logo services for every price range. So, the question besides price is: “What’s a ‘good’ logo?”

For many business owners that answer is: whatever floats their boat. However, a truly good logo must be right for your business from a marketing/communication standpoint. Some key considerations are:

<> It must be a simple design.
<> It must work equally well in both color and black & white.
<> It must look good small.

Most importantly, it must represent your business or product and communicate your “brand essence.” So, what does that mean? Check out these examples.

    The only logo I have a problem with in your examples is “smokefree”. The words just don’t do it for me. Hmm 24 + years since public smoking restrictions put in place in NYS and people still think they are free to smoke wherever and however they please. Maybe its time to change the logo?
