Have an Effective Logo?

Logos give a business credibility and make it easy to remember your business. As a small business owner, a logo will make your website, business cards and promotions materials look more professional.

Does it capture attention?
Did you know that you only have 8 seconds to capture someone’s attention with your advertising? If you do not have a memorable logo, you will not successfully capture the attention of prospective customers. Don’t miss out on all this potential business with a logo that isn’t easy to remember.
The psychology of color
You can use color to communicate feelings and perceptions to your potential customers. When choosing your colors for your logo, think about the message the colors will send.  Here is a short list of color psychological clues:
·         Black: seriousness, distinctiveness, boldness, power, sophistication, tradition
·         Blue: authority, dignity, security, faithfulness, heritage, corporate stability, trust
·         Brown/gold: history, utility, earthiness, richness, tradition, conservative
·         Gray/silver: somberness, authority, practicality, corporate mentality, trust
·         Green: tranquility, health, freshness, stability, appetite
·         Orange: fun, cheeriness, warm exuberance, appetite, speed
·         Pink: femininity, innocence, softness, health, youth
·         Purple: sophistication, spirituality, wealth, royalty, youth, mystery
·         Red: aggressiveness, passion, strength, vitality, fear, speed, appetite
·         White/silver: purity, truthfulness, faith, contemporary, refined, wealth
·         Yellow: youth, positive feelings, sunshine, cowardice, refinement, caution, appetite.
Stand out from your competition
