  Following are the steps to create the best logo designs:

  Step #1: Brain Storming and Word Exploration

  

Word Mapping with the words that best describe the business and its associated elements lays out a clear blueprint of potential sketching directions.

      Step #2: Sketching

Sketching helps to visualize the abstract ideas picked from word exploration and helps us pick the best design options. If required, vectorize the sketches in programs like Adobe Illustrator to check their functionality and usage.

       Step #3: Type Exploration

Experimenting with various serif and sans-serif fonts from FREE sources like Google fonts helps us understand what aligns with the target audience and business goals.

After a series of experiments and collaborative communication with stakeholders, we can finalize a type.

        Step #4: Color Exploration

Tools like Adobe Color are your best aids in picking a color palette. If you don’t know anything about color theory, you can make your palette online for free using an image.

Check for contrast and readability and make sure the colors align with the business goals.

       Step #5: Application on Mock-Ups

Websites like good mockups offer FREE mockups to test your design, type & color choices. Make sample marketing collateral for the business and present it to the stakeholders showcasing the real-time application.

These 5 steps can help you achieve a stunning logo design that’ll improve the brand’s recognition and escalate the marketing efforts exponentially.
