How to: Create a Logo

Making a logo it's not as difficult at it seems. Here i'll tell you some steps you cant take to make a good logo and not dying at trying haha. You can apply this to any kind of logo; it doesn't matter if it's a logo for a restaurant or a company. Here there are:


stepone:  find information
This is important to you to do because it helps you when you're creating the logo. You have to research some information about what the company do, what can they offer to the public, or if it's a logo for one person, it's good to interview him or her.  With the information in your head, you can represent all you have in just one graphic.

steptwo:  sketch and sketch

I think this is the most "difficult" part. This is the center of all the design process of the logo. All you have to do is sketch as many ideas as possible having the information in your head; try to represent that in a interesting and original way. Don't throw away any idea because you can use in another time.

stepthree:  choose, sketch and clean

Put all your sketches in your desk and start to discart what you think it won't work for the company or person you're creating the logo until you have three or two logos; but once again, don't throw what you can't use now. After that, try to mix those ideas in one logo until you're satisfied of the result. Finally, clean that sketch and do it again at the computer with Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator (in my opinion you should use this one because it's more for creating a logo).


Well, there you go. Three easy steps for when you're going to make a logo :). Here I posted a logo that I made by using those steps; hope it'll be useful for you as an example.
