From Idea to Delivery: The Logo Design Process
Logo design isn't drawing something pretty — it's a business decision that shapes how people perceive your brand.
Stage 1: Research & discovery
- Who's your target audience?
- Who are your competitors?
- Three core values the logo should reflect?
Stage 2: Sketching
Start on paper. Rule: 50 sketches before opening Illustrator.
Stage 3: Digital execution
- Start in black & white only
- Test at small sizes (16px)
- Balance the negative space precisely
A great logo can be drawn from memory by anyone who saw it once.
Stage 4: Brand guidelines
The mark alone isn't a brand. Deliver: variations, colors, fonts, and safe-space rules.
