    Great tips for newbies. Color and typography are also the two factors to consider in logo design. A design must look good in black and white before it can be effective on any color. Nice post.

    What are you coming to say from those two logos “meteora” and “westhost”, are they good or not? i felt they both are good one.

    “9 Quick and Dirty Logo Design Tips for Newbies” in this title are you meaning that if i follow these rules the logo will be dirty looking. Is this is what you are coming to say?

    Very nice post!l You presented tons of great questions to ask while designing a logo that no doubt will benefit the end result tremendously. Two of my favorite tips were “make it scalable” and “consider different backgrounds”. Very important, especially if you’re designing your logo for a client. In my experience, the more options you can provide the client, the easier everyone’s life becomes.

    I also have some great pointers, tips, and examples over on my blog if anyone is interested in furthering their knowledge on the subject. Here’s a link:

    Thanks again!

    Once upon a time I was not here. Very interesting article. You know. Thinking about the logo, you should think about it, so well presented everywhere, not to lay intricate small parts, which is bad when zoomed out to a small format. Often it can be seen in patronatach posters advertising the event. It should also be borne in mind that the logo is a sign of a utility. There comes a time for a logo for a very artistic and so it is hard to remember them.

  13. Logo design is a most important part of graphic design. It should be perfect and according to the company services because the logo represents companies brands or corporate identities.
    Your logo should be attractive and massage conveying.

    I am impressed with your post nice TIPS!

    This is a wonderful tip to logo designers for them not to be stuck with one client because the client wanted some changes every now and them with the logo or not satisfied yet with of the result.

    Very good tips all around. I need to tone down my love for bold fonts, so I can completely agree with your limitation on fonts rule. Now I just need to follow a few more and I’ll be set.

  16. This is actually a useful tip especially for online game developers. Creating a logo should be very important because when a new product is being introduced, there’s a tendency that potential buyers will consider the logo’s appearance – if it’s attractive or not. It might be a poor judgment but let’s admit it, we often look on the front appearance right?
