Your Logo Is Important...

A brand is a complicated, breathing thing. It consists of many components that must all integrate into a seamless, functional whole. However, humans are creatures that place a great amount of reliance on their sense of sight. For that simple reason, companies that want their branding to succeed put a lot of effort into making a logo. In some circles, logos are considered the most important component of a branding strategy or campaign.

For those who don’t quite grasp the importance, here are a few reasons:

• Visual Representation

  Just as the face is the frontline representative of a person, the logo is that for a business. Good branding makes the logo the “face” of a company, giving it an image and appeal that no other branding tool can provide.

• Memory

  People tend to remember logos better than they do names. A good logo will often be easier to remember than the name of a product. It also provides an additional benefit – a familiar logo on a new product can help boost sales of the new item, because customers will associate its quality with the quality of other products with the same logo.

• Uniqueness

  In a cluttered business environment, nothing can help a company or product stand out more than a good logo. A logo can do more for differentiating a product from its competitors at first glance than virtually anything else, making it a very important tool.

A logo is not going to be the only thing that a good brand needs, but it is a massive component of it. The ability to be distinct, to be remembered by customers, and proper representation of the product and company are all critical tasks of a good branding strategy. These are also functions that a good logo can be used for.
