Everything you need to know: logo design
How do you design a brand logo?
At Anthem Branding, we take a strategic approach to designing impactful brand logos. It begins with an in-depth discovery process to understand your brand’s personality, values, and goals. From there, our talented designers conceptualize multiple unique logo ideas that capture the essence of your brand.
We explore different styles, colors, typography, and imagery to find the perfect visual representation. The selected logo then goes through rounds of refinement until we’ve created a polished, memorable mark that resonates with your audience.
How can a logo convey my brand personality?
An effective logo utilizes symbolic imagery, distinctive typography, and a color palette that aligns with your desired brand personality and tone.
For example, a modern tech brand may incorporate clean, geometric forms with a bold color scheme to appear innovative and cutting-edge. Whereas a natural wellness brand could use handcrafted illustrative elements and earthy hues to evoke an organic, holistic vibe.
What makes a logo unique and memorable?
Crafting a truly unique, memorable logo requires avoiding overused clichés and visual trends. Our designers conceptualize unexpected yet fitting metaphors, create custom lettering or illustrations, and compose the elements in a fresh, sophisticated way. A strong concept grounded in your brand narrative combined with artful execution is what allows logos to stick in audiences’ minds.
How do I make my brand logo stand out?
To make your brand logo truly stand out, you need a design that’s unique, meaningful, and well-executed. Our designers excel at developing distinctive logo concepts that avoid overused clichés and capture your brand’s one-of-a-kind personality.
Can I create my logo for free?
While some online logo makers allow you to create a basic logo for free, these often result in amateurish, generic designs. A professionally designed logo from Anthem Branding ensures you get a high-quality, unique mark that accurately represents your brand.
Our designers have the experience to develop a thoughtful, cohesive logo tailored to your business.
How do I create a logo for my company name?
Creating an effective logo inspired by your company name involves both strategy and creativity. Our designers first dissect the name itself — examining the letter forms, and considering representational imagery or symbolic meaning behind the words.
We also dive deep into your brand’s personality, industry, and audience to concept logos that are meaningful and relevant.
From there, we explore ways to incorporate your name through thoughtful typography choices or by integrating it into a crisp icon or graphic element.
Can I design a logo myself?
You could design a logo yourself, but unless you’re a highly skilled graphic designer, the result may not represent your brand how you want it to. Our designers have years of experience training in logo principles, and an in-depth understanding of what makes logos effective and memorable.
How to make a great logo?
Crafting a truly great logo involves both strategic thinking and innovative design execution. First, our designers conduct research into your brand, competitors, and target audience to develop an appropriate logo direction.
Then the creative process begins — exploring unique concepts, custom lettering, symbolic imagery, and color palettes that authentically represent your brand. Refinement is key, ensuring the final logo design is a cohesive and polished mark. The best logos are simple yet distinctive, memorable, and timeless.
Here are what key qualities an effective brand logo has to have:
- Uniqueness and distinctiveness, allowing it to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
- Simplicity and cleanness, making it easy to recognize.
- Relevance and meaningfulness.
- It works across different applications and sizes.
- Emotional resonance.
How do I make my logo look expensive?
For a logo to convey a premium, high-end impression, several factors come into play:
- Sophisticated simplicity devoid of excessive graphic elements.
Restrained use of spacing and carefully considered geometry. - Custom, unique design without clichéd motifs.
- Color palette that’s bold yet graceful.
Thoughtful, polished typography. - Impeccable attention to detail.
Our designers have an eye for creating logos with a refined elegance that exudes quality and luxury.
What makes a high-end logo?

There’s an understated elegance and striking balance in the forms and proportions. The design feels premium yet effortless. Expensive logos intentionally avoid clutter and trends for enduring style and exclusivity.

While there are many popular color combinations used in logos, one of the most classic and widely used is black and white.
What are the most popular types of logos?
Here are the most popular types of logos that businesses use:
- Wordmarks or logotypes: these are text-based logos that consist solely of the company’s name stylized in a unique font. Examples include Google, Visa, and Coca-Cola.
- Lettermarks or monograms: these logos use just initials or a single letter, often the company’s abbreviation or the first letter of its name. Examples are HP, IBM, and NASA.
- Pictorial Marks or brand marks: these iconic logos are recognizable symbols or graphics that don’t directly relate to the company’s name. Examples are the Apple logo, Nike’s Swoosh, and Twitter’s bird.
- Abstract logos: these are geometric designs or icons that are more metaphorical and conceptual rather than literal illustrations. Examples include the BP stained glass logo, Adidas’ flower, and Pepsi’s divided circle.
- Mascot logos: these logos feature illustrated characters or anthropomorphic figures that represent the brand personality. Examples are KFC’s Colonel, the Michelin Man, and Planter’s Mr. Peanut.
- Combination marks: These pair an icon with the company’s wordmark for a combination logo. Examples include Burger King, Puma, and Subway.
- Emblem logos: these crest-like logos encircle a brandmark or name in an iconic, circular style reminiscent of seals or stamps. Examples are Starbucks, Harley-Davidson, NFL.
