Logo Development
[ DOWNLOAD BRAND SERVICES OVERVIEW (PDF - 192 KB) ]
Confusion reigns about the relationship between a brand and its logo. Many mistakenly believe that a logo is the brand, but that is hardly the case.
A logo is the brand mark or the brand identification. It is a symbol or icon that should immediately evoke the emotions associated with the brand.
A logo has to work hard to stand out against the sea of other brand marks. It competes for a customer’s attention not just within the competitive set,
but against all brands.
To be effective, a logo must:
- be simple.
- be unique.
- have scalability.
- incorporate legible typography.
- work effectively in all allowed versions: color; black & white; reverse.
And most importantly, a logo must embrace the tenets of the brand and manifest them in a tangible form.
Bancography will develop a handful of brand mark choices that meet the criteria listed above.
