Logo Design—Setting Your Company Apart

Can you imagine the Chevrolet automobile without the metallic-colored cross, or the Pepsi soft drink can without the red, white and blue ball? Heritage Internet Technologies, one of the nation’s premier website and logo design companies, is a strong proponent of having a company logo.

A logo is one of the most basic and important elements of an organization’s identity. A logo, combined with its logotype, forms a trademark or commercial brand. Logos, consisting of various shapes, colors, fonts, and other images help customers identify a company as well as associate merchandise of a type of product with that company.

Well-known examples of logos include Nike’s swoosh, McDonald’s golden arches, and Michelin Tire’s roly-poly Michelin Man. Non-profit organizations and efforts like the Red Cross and cancer awareness also employ logos to further their message.

Benefits: The benefits of having a logo are three-fold:

Brand Recognitions: When a symbol becomes synonymous with a business, it
is much easier to stimulate customers into thinking about that particular product
on a day-to-day basis. This has worked for years with large businesses, and is
available to all businesses for a modest design fee.

Image Creation: Combining a professionally designed logo with a professionally designed website can substantially enhance an organization’s
image. From classy and sleek to kid-friendly and fun, the options and
possibilities are almost endless.

In a visually oriented society, a logo makes it possible for people to remember
your company, even if they can’t remember it by name. A custom logo is also
the perfect opportunity to build your corporate identity and represent your goals
and beliefs.

Continuity: The power of the logo is particularly effective in creating
continuity—a seamless bridge between all visual company communication.
Websites, letter-head, business cards, yellow page ads, newspaper and magazine
ads, etc. are all tied together into one consistent, standardized message.

Business owners should never underestimate the effectiveness of a well-designed logo. For questions and help related to the creation of a company logo, remember the friendly professionals at Heritage Internet Technologies are just a phone call away.
