Designing your brand identity (logo and visuals)
39
• As a start up you may need to consider a phased approach.• Not all designers are created equal.• You get back what you invest.If you must use crowd sourcing, some tips:• Put a clear brief together (target audience, personality,
competitor examples (what to avoid).• Gather examples of other brands you like.• Ask them to apply your logo to marketing collateral so you can
see how the fonts, colours, shapes, images and graphics work together.
• Be clear on what you want back.
