Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Does your business need graphic design? You may think of graphic design as merely something decorative, but it can be much more valuable than that.

Logo

A logo is a visual representation that encapsulates a brand’s identity, values, and essence in a single, recognizable symbol.

Keep Your Construction Logo Simple

The more simple your logo is, the more memorable and memorable it will be. Make sure that your logo does not have too many elements, but rather keeps it simple and clean.

This also reduces the need for graphics or other design elements that may increase the complexity of the logo. If you want to create an edgy-looking logo, look at logos that you like and see if they have anything like them such as font style or color choice.

Takeaway: A design should be simple, pleasing, and attractive. The right balance between all these factors can help it become a great logo for your business.

Construction companies have a tough time finding a visual identity that works for them. In the battle to create the perfect logo, it’s easy to fall into the trap of letting your creativity run wild, rejecting any suggestions from others. 

But this can be an ineffective way to build your brand. Instead, consider these six tips from simple to complex:

Think About Your Brand’s Basic Elements.

These include the colors you will be using for your business cards, letterhead, and other marketing materials. This is also where you should start if you want to use the same colors in your logo too.

You might not think this is important at first, but it is important to choose colors that are easy on the eye and complement each other.

Your Branding Elements are a Building Block.

If you’re starting, you might not have an identifiable logo yet. It can sometimes help to look at what other companies are doing with their company’s image. Then think about how they do it and how it sets them apart from others in their industry.

Stick with One or Two Shades

Once you’ve chosen some of your branding elements, keep it simple by sticking with one or two shades. Apply for all your business cards, letterhead, and other marketing materials. It’s easy for businesses to get carried away with logos if they aren’t careful.

Having a lot can look overwhelming on promotional materials like business cards or letterheads.

Limit yourself here by only using one or two shades. This is so that everyone knows what they are looking at when they see it. It should be the same when printed out or displayed on digital marketing media.

About 76% of the leading brands only use mono or two-color tones in their logos. This means people value brands that do not confuse their identity.
