Barb has a lifelong mission to assist people who are challenged whether it be a hearing impairment, a veteran with combat stress and trauma to individuals with high stress levels. Barb came to us with her idea for the new company and questions on what was the best way to rapidly establish a presence in the marketplace. We identified what her vision and goals for her new company were and which market sectors would be her target clients. Based on our Business Intelligence we knew exactly who, where, how and what core brand and marketing solutions to create. ### Defining and Understanding the goal Getting the right amount of details and having a clear understanding of a client’s problems and goals from the beginning is the most important factor when starting a new logo design. Asking questions such as, How does your company differ from its competitors?, What keywords should best describe your new logo?, or What type of logos typically appeal to you?, will help me and our clients become more on the same page and set up for a successful deliverable. ### ![P3 agency Logo Design Process](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hs-fs/file-3761903441-png/blog-files/sketch.png?width=310&height=360&name=sketch.png "sketch") ### Research After receiving the Logo Handout and initiating phone conversation to get additional details the handout did not provide, In Barb's case, our team provided enough information to begin researching her company and competitors to get a better feel for her market – this helps in the overall look and message the final logo conveys. ### Creative Stage My designs, whether it’s logos or websites, always start off on paper. This allows me to get my brain moving in the right direction and get down as many ideas as possible. Jumping directly onto the computer can slow the creative process – it takes more time to execute ideas and one can tend to pay more attention to minute details early on. Mind mapping also helps in exploring and growing your topic. You can easily expand upon ideas and keywords. ### Drafting and Development Since I had a general idea on what the logo might look like, I dove into drawing up some sketches. “I tried a few different approaches with how letters and graphics might connect and flow into one another, a few different capitals and swooshes, and it wasn't long before I arrived at the third sketch which had the vibe I was looking for.” ### ![Logo Design P3 agency](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hs-fs/file-3761903451-png/blog-files/drafting1.png?width=597&height=138&name=drafting1.png "drafting") ### Client Feedback Working closely with my clients is not only essential to my business objectives, but without a doubt helps in the process of creating a logo that represents them and their company. I do my best to touch base with my clients frequently and get their feedback through various stages of the logo design process. This also helps in building their trust, as the gain a better understanding of what their money is being invested into. ### Color and Typefaces After I’m at least 80% satisfied with the logos I have so designed I play around with color combination and font variation. I typically provide my clients with at least 3 different logo samples, each having color variations and typefaces that work well with the mark and company’s message. ![P3 agency Logo Design](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hs-fs/file-3761903461-png/blog-files/color-typefaces1.png?width=597&height=104&name=color-typefaces1.png "color-typefaces") ### Final Revisions After the client comes to an agreement of the best overall solution for their logo, I will go in and make any additional minor changes I feel are necessary. At this stage I’ll also mock-up what their new logo will look like on their existing website or stationery. This helps your clients see how the logo works as a collective, not just a standalone object. ### ![P3 agency Logo Design Process](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hs-fs/file-3761903471-png/blog-files/final-logo.png?width=338&height=193&name=final-logo.png "final-logo")Delivering the files Delivering a variety of file formats to your clients will not only leave them satisfied in the long term, but any designer who follows you will also be grateful. Whether you are printing high quality, adding a logo to a website, or inserting your company logo into a Word document, there are various file formats that should be used over the other. ### Social Share - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Make your website mobile ready today!](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hubfs/P3-Agency/mobile-ready-banner.png)](http://www.p3-agency.com/responsive-design-website-specials/) [![PPC Management](https://blog.p3-agency.com/hubfs/P3-Agency/ppc-management.jpg)](http://www.p3-agency.com/pay-per-click-ppc-management/) ### Quick Quote --- Whether it's a new design, or you just want MORE business out of your current marketing, call us or use the form to tell us what you'd REALLY LOVE out of your marketing! ### Get in Touch P3 is here to help you breakthrough marketing, brand and sales barriers.
