Unless you are a globally recognized brand or have a very high saturation point, most will not recognize your business by a graphic/image-based logo. Here we outline why a text-based logo works.

While you may have high hopes and ambitions for your business, a graphics-based logo will not initially suit you well – especially in the early stages of your business setup. Mc Donald’s may solely have the golden arches symbol as their logo, but they also have restaurants on every continent on Earth. Until your business reaches this level, having a text-based logo will assist you in brand recognition while your business grows.  

The benefits of having your business name transcribed within your logo are numerous:

1. Your logo will not be mistaken or confused for any other business or logo
2. As your business name is visible, potential new customers can discover your business
3. It increases brand awareness and saturation because people can ‘read’ your logo

Aside from your business name, text-based logos may also incorporate your slogan or allude to a little bit more about your company. This is also useful for several reasons:

1. People can understand a bit of what you do to pique interest
2. You can utilize buzz words or a catchy saying/slogan to generate interest
3. In terms of advertising, you can stand out by getting more information across

When getting a logo designed by a professional logo designer, it helps to be honest about the stage that your business is at and agree on a design that will serve its purpose for your current position. Even companies within the Fortune 500 have different logos today as to when they first started out – your logo can change and evolve (in a subtle fashion) to keep with more modern design aesthetics and reflect the position of your business. Google did this last year in terms of updating the classic Google logo font to a more streamlined and sleeker font indicative of design trends today.
