Make a rational decision

Typography, graphs and position. During the logotype evaluation process, even before you make the decision about colors, it is important to separate the elements of the logotype so that they can be analyzed separately and in detail.

• Typography. What type of typography are you looking for? Do you want it to be innovating, classy, formal, informal, elegant? Remember that typography represents the company identity, experience, formality and the importance of the brand.

• Graphs. Graphs and lines are frequently used as part of the brand. Some companies want the graphs to be their emblematic icon. The current tendency is to create graphs that seem to be moving upwards and forwards, avoiding negative connotations such as delay.

• Position. What part of the logo do you want to be recognized fist? The icon or the name? Both? If you want the icon to be the first thing your clients recognize, then, it should be located on the right. If you want both name and icon to be evenly balanced, then the icon should be above the name.
