There are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to designing a company or personal logo. If you haven’t worked in the PR or advertising world you may not be aware of them. I have compiled a list of some of the most important guidelines when designing a logo.

*Do not use more than three colors

*If your grandma can’t read the type, it’s not big enough

*The logo should look good in black and white

*Avoid intricate details

*A photo does not make a logo

*The logo must look consistent across various platforms
