Developing a Strong Logo

Branding, or marketing your web sites image to the world, is important in creating a successful web presence. Developing a strong logo for your web site is an important element in that branding process. 

Your company’s logo is the first thing people see when they visit your business or your site. It will be linked (pardon the use of a web term) with your identity for many years to come. So, developing a strong logo is essential and you should take lots of time thinking and developing this.

Developing a logo is not an easy thing. Our logo took many hours and days of pouring over ideas and dozens of names and logos before deciding upon the one we have. It is clear and easy to read and the graphic element of it is simple and ties into the name. 

Things to consider when developing a logo are; 
1. How will it look on a web site?
2. Does it present the correct image?
3. How will it look on promotional items? Shirts, Hats, Coffee Mugs, Business Cards, Letterheads.
4. Does it create a positive and lasting impression?

We recommend that you hire a professional graphic design firm to help your logo. OneDog.com can create a logo for you or we can recommend other firms for your design.

Developing a Strong Slogan

A slogan should something that creates an image of the company that it represents. Successful examples of effective slogans are;

  • Just Do It
  • Fly the Friendly Skies
  • It’s the real thing
  • Don’t leave home without it
Some marketing companies charge up to $35,000 to create a slogan for your company.  A slogan is essential to the success of your company. Many times a consumer will remember your slogan before they will remember your company name. A slogan should convey a strong thought that relates to your company. It should be short and have punch to it. Easy to remember, and say. After you have created it, use it.  The process of creating a strong logo and slogan and how they used is called Branding. We will discuss Branding in our next newsletter.
