By Eliza Khan

It is very important for every firm, be it a multinational conglomerate or a start-up, to create a unique logo design which would represent its essence. The logo should be visually appealing to the customer and should trigger fast brand recollection, and therefore it is always recommended to get it designed by a specialist logo designer.

Since logo design will go on to decide the brand image of the firm, it is crucial to make a comprehensive background verification while choosing a logo designer. He should have prior experience of designing complicated logos and should have immense potential for creativity. He should also be able to blend your ideas into the logo and work within fixed deadlines.

There are a few key features that define a good logo. There must be an appropriate mix of images, colour and text in the logo to make it visually appealing yet elegant. The logo should be unique to enable the company stand out from the host of other brands flooding the market.

The logo design must not be abstract and in accordance with the nature of the firm, so that the customers can instantly recognize what it stands for. In addition, it should be appealing enough to survive for several years and even decades so that you don't feel the need to replace it with a different one.

It is normally not simple to gauge the effectiveness of logo design. In fact it can take months for a new logo to create an impact and settle in the minds and hearts of consumers, and finally result in more sales or market share for the company.

However, this does not imply that it is impossible to tell whether the new logo will be successful. You can find out the consumers' likely reaction to the new logo design by conducting market research. One way, which is often very effective, is to make use of the concept of a test market.

In this method, you can show the new logo to customers constituting a small group from the whole market, and then go on to investigate and analyse their response to it. An aggressive test market promotion of your new logo will help you in gaining quick recognition of your logo among various customers and hence you would not have to wait for a long time to find the outcome.

After that, you can evaluate by how much your sales have changed in the test market, along with a host of other things like if the consumers see your firm more favourably now than before. If you achieve favourable results, you can be reasonably sure that your logo will perform well in the larger market as well.
