A great logo walks the line between timelessness and trendiness: designing a logo that is both can be a challenge. A logo that’s unique, attractive, and adeptly communicates your brand values requires an understanding of the current design trends and the skill to use them to your best advantage.

Finding a designer who can assess the personality of your brand and convey it in a timeless logo isn't out of reach. Here at crowdspring, we have hundreds of thousands of designers equipped with the knowledge of current design trends, and the ability to incorporate them into a logo that is modern, relevant, but still timeless.

Yes. A unique logo design can be the difference between blending in and standing out from the competition. Generic logos have become extremely problematic.

The epidemic of too-similar fonts, glyphs, and swishy people leaves a weak first impression on customers and is unmemorable. Even though some of these generic logos may help a person identify the industry itself, generic logos also detract from the originality and story of your specific company. Generic logos even break the core elements of good logo design: memorable and unique, making them poor choices for any company.

The inspiration for a logo can come from a number of places: nature, experiences, other logos, the list is never ending. But the best, most original logos draw inspiration from what the company does or values. Whatever makes your company unique and stand out from competitors will also make your logo unique.

Good logos are not just about creative illustrations and drawings! Many companies use typography in their logos either instead of or in addition to images and symbols.

When incorporating words or phrases, logos often play with the font, style, size, and even letter spacing. Some logos include the company’s full name, while some just include an initial. Some don’t include any letters or words at all, but traditionally use a specific text style for those elements. Either way, typography is essential to making the words behind your company synergize with the other graphic elements of the logo. Can it be read at small sizes? Is the letterspacing/word spacing well adjusted? Typography is a craft in itself - it's the first voice of stating who you are.

Is your logo going to be printed on paper? Business cards? Billboards? Physical products? Today, there are a lot of mediums and sizes and our logos have to perform well across all mediums. Therefore it’s important to consider where and how your logo will be displayed so that you can specify colors and file formats. At crowdspring, we have you covered by making sure you receive vectorized logo designs, which are useful in any medium.

You should always request vector based graphics. It's often tempting to ask for complex illustrations in a logo. However, unless you plan on never using your logo outside of an on-screen/online application, a JPG or PSD isn't going to cut it. A properly drawn vector design will provide you with the ultimate flexibility.

Instead of copying or mimicking famous logos, the best designers look to create a unique brand identity. The breakthrough designs they create often come from the deeper meanings they find within the company, which is the reason why so many companies have logo origin stories or hidden meanings.

The secret is to uncover that deeper or hidden meaning before designing the logo. A unique logo design will stem organically from whatever makes your company unique.
