A Well Designed Corporate Logo is Your Key to
Standing Out from he Crowd
The golden arches. The swoosh. The bitten apple. The blue, white, and red circle. I do not need to provide any more details, but chances are you already know which brands I am referring to. This is the power of a
logo. It is the graphic symbol used by businesses and organizations, and in some cases people, to identify and promote themselves to the public. They can be comprised of icons, words, or a combination of both.
What separates a strong brand from a garden-variety one is an instantly recognizable, unique logo. The importance of a logo stems from people's tendency to associate intangible attributes such as style, class, beauty, culture, quality, status, tradition, reliability, and integrity to it. A logo's embodiment of such characteristics makes it valuable to consumers because it speaks volumes about the product sporting it and the company that created this product.
Let's take Apple's Macintosh computers, for example. Since their introduction in 1984, these computers have been considered high quality products that are perceived as "cool” and unique just like the people who own and use them. The Apple logo used on Macintosh computers has come to represent these attributes to such an extent that when Apple introduced its first smart phone known as the 'iPhone' in 2007, it was received with overwhelming popularity and praise despite Apple never having any prior experience in designing or manufacturing cellular phones. People's complete faith in Apple's brand drove them to purchase the iPhone even before it proved its quality and reliability. Now imagine if the iPhone had any other logo on it, and not Apple's. Do you think it would have been as successful or as recognizable?
Logos can be worth a lot of money, particularly ones that have been around for a very long time, like those of corporations such as Coca Cola and Ford. It is no wonder why companies will spend millions of dollars to protect their logos and brands. Many of the larger companies have very strict guidelines in place to control how their logos are used in promotional capacities in order to protect them against being misused or abused.
How Identifiable is your logo?
In order for your business to grow, you have to manage the awareness that your product or service receives. To do this, you will need a logo that is symbolic and which embodies the culture and beliefs of your company as you would like them to be associated with everything you produce, sell, deliver, service, or market. This logo has to be masterfully designed and should have a strong connection to you and your company. Some of the best known logos have stories behind them. For instance, did you know that the 4 interlinked silver rings you will find on Audi cars represent the 4 auto manufacturers that merged to create the Audi brand as we know it today?
