  • Keep your objective in mind while focusing on building a design that can strengthen your image and identity while generating a reaction on the side of your target market that will result in a strong positioning amongst your competition.
  • Identify your target audience, unique selling proposition, market reach, key differentiators, long-term and short-term goals.
  • Establish how you would like the logo to represent your values.
  • Decide on the design: logo, icon or a combination of both.
