HOW DO YOU CREATE A PERFECT LOGO?

How Do You Create a Perfect Logo? First, ‘there is no such thing as a perfect logo.’ Instead, the question is, ‘What logo is perfect for my business?’

A logo is a graphic representation of your core business. In simplest terms, it defines Who You Are, What You Do, and How You Do It. On the other hand, people draw inspiration for the perfect logo differently. A logo can represent any of the following;

– Your business name
– Business initials
– Business model
– Derivative of your business name or meaning
– Something that has a special meaning to you

FLUID, EVOLVING

The logo design process is fluid and evolving. Because a shape, concept, or idea can inspire you to take different directions. However, it would be best if you started somewhere. First, I look at similar businesses to set a creative benchmark. Let’s start with a recent case study of Cyclic Logistics. This company manages the complete life-cycle of products from sales, processing, shipping, returns, and customer management in the eCommerce space.

#1 THE CONCEPT

First, we review the same or similar companies in the same space, including IDS, Fulex, National, Fulfilltopia, Ship Bob, Red Stag, Ship Monk, and Ship Vine. Conversely, we found nothing revealing for color, shape, motion, or concept. Next, we looked deeper *into the definition of the words that comprised the company name ‘Cyclic Logistics.’ See the preliminary logo research and design process.


*Defined:
Cyclic- Occurring in cycles; regularly repeated.
Logistics- The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies.


Finally, our challenge is to capture each word’s essence or meaning graphically. ‘CYCLIC’ and ‘LOGISTICS.’

#2 THE COLLABORATION

The client chose logo concept #9 for further development. By re-vamping, the cubic shapes, pathways, or ‘maze shape’ emphasized their company initials ‘CL.’ Next, the maze is converted into a 2-dimensional rendering to convey the complexity of logistical deployment.

Animation enforces the repetition or cyclic nature of logistics. (See the second step in the CL logo design process). Finally, color and typography are combined to refine the size, color, position, and light refraction. (See the third step in the logo design process).

#3 THE REVEAL

Our brand-new logo captures the company name and core business because the logo is visually compelling in static and animated forms. (See the final logo renderings for CYCLIC LOGISTICS).

Conversely, we have to figure out how to animate the logo on a business card. Wait a minute! How about ‘Lenticular’ effects? More about that later in another article. Please visit Cycliclogistics.com.
