“Logo design is easy”

This is a real story.

However JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR, this NEVER takes place.

My logo design for Metalama (which has actually won 6 honors currently) was authorized off, first go. And of course, I did just one sketch.

Sometimes, you just get fortunate and a unicorn layout pertains to you quickly. This was just possible because I had a couple of points in place before I started the job.

1. A terrific brief and a ‘success declaration’ This is where you and your customer speak and sit, and LISTEN to each other. You then collaborate to come up with a brief paragraph that establishes what a ‘home run’ resembles for this task.
2. 4-5 brand nounsI obtained this process from @allanpeters. The purpose is to get 4 or 5 THINGS (not words) authorized off prior to the project. This way you’re not dealing with an idea your customer won’t such as. ‘# sign’ and ‘llama’ were evident options for this project.

N.B. Don’t make use of words like ‘nature’ or ‘innovation’, due to the fact that they can be represented by practically anything. And when you send your ‘fallen leave’ logo design over (for nature) you could find that the customer really did not desire a fallen leave in their layout, and then you’ve lost WEEKS!

If you desire to recognize more concerning this, I did a presentation at Adobe MAX 2023 called ‘Signed Off, No Amends’. And if you sign up to my newsletter you can get it free of cost!
