Formless creativity is great for abstract, exploratory artwork, but a logo has a task to accomplish: identify your business. Therefore, we need objectives to help formulate our design process. By judging how a design meets its objectives, we can evaluate how effectively a design accomplishes its task. Logo design objectives we use are:

• Attractiveness: You want your logo to make people feel satisfied and pleased
• Recognizability: A logo must not only be attractive, but able to associate those good feelings with your business’s identity
• Flexibility: To use your attractive and recognizable logo, it must be able to withstand many different presentations and still maintain its integrity. For example, you logo must be able to be printed on a poster, displayed on a website, and printed on a fax”

Enjoy!
