THE DESIGN PROCESS
Logo Design ProcessWhat is a logo and what is the design process?
Logo design is all around us. To the general public,
logos serve as an instant reminder of a company or
a product; to the client they're the point of
recognition on which their brands; and to us
designers/developers they represent the challenge
of incorporating our clients' ideologies into one
single graphic.
More logos are being developed, and with that comes the challenge of being different.
How do you create something original that stands out in a sea of identities?
And how do we create something quickly while retaining quality?
The Design process highlights the right way to design the perfect logo!

Your thinking & drawing skills
How good they are? What you want
to use, a Graphic Tablet or paper and
pencil? You to decide !
Creativity
On a range of 1 to 10, on which do
you give yourself? Inspire yourself
from others
You need to have a drawing
bookMoleskine, drawing books, papers or
anything to draw on

Client Discovery
You must understand
what the logo is
supposed to do based
on the company culture
Industry discovery
The audience of the
company, whom are we
targeting here?
Logo Design ProcessThe guide
11
Logo application
This phase is about answering
one simple question: how and
where will the logo be used most
of the time? Different usage of
the logo is typically referred to as
“logo application.”
Sketching !
Get your crayons! We are going to
draw!
Drafts Design
After the sketching phase, create the
designs on illustrator or Photoshop or
any other software your prefer.This is
where you give life to your concepts,
colours, rounded corners and so on! Refinement phase
Improvements and
changes for the presented
logo drafts.
Did you know that some design schools ask
the students to come up with exactly 100
ideas before they decide on the right one?
The reason is simple — the only way to
separate the good from the bad is to have a
lot of things to pick from.
We’re going to design !

SVG EvolutionWhat is SVG?
• Despite it’s usefulness and powerful possibilities it’s still a
mystery to many and when it comes to integrating it and
using animations, many developers don’t know where to
start.
• With libraries like SNAP.SVG the use of SVG assets
becomes more easy and today we’d like to explore how to
animate SVG icons.

Editor's Notes

  • #6 A simple logo allows for easy recognition allows both the logo to be versatile and memorable. NOT overdrawn. Following closely behind the principle of simplicity is that of memorability. An effective logo should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple yet appropriate logo. EXAMPLE: NIKE An effective logo should endure the test of time. The logo should be 'future proof', meaning that it should still be effective in 10, 20, 50+ years time. It should be able to work across a variety of mediums and applications. How you position the logo should be appropriate for its intended purpose.
