Logo Design for a Blog

March 15, 2007

Each day and at all time we are in contact with logos and brands, They are everywhere and play a very important role in our lives, as the Small Business Bible says “A good logo helps to attract customers, especially when your business is just starting.” The same happens with blogs. That´s right, a successful blog needs a good image that catches the attention of readers and visitors. A good logo design is simple but direct and strong, it has to transmit what your blog or business is about. A well designed image can distinguish your site from others in the medium.

If you are starting a new blog then think first in a good logo, but if you are thinking in a re branding, there are many ways to get a, good design you can either design it yourself if you know how or you can hire a professional designer. Here are some qualities of a good logo design for blogs.

  • Promotes
  • Gives a unique image and identity to your blog (Brand)
  • Helps to attract visitors and readers
  • Distinguish your site from others
  • Image matters! As simple as that.

If you don´t know how your logo must be and if you think you need some inspiration take a look to these galleries, you might find something interesting, but remember be original and don´t copy. I don’t know if I told that I’m a designer too, in fact I’ve designed logos for companies and new businesses. From my own experience with brands, a good logo has to be:

  • Simple
  • Direct
  • Unique
  • And of course…Beautiful.

Here are some design I’ve created. I hope you like them. Just click the image for a larger view.

    Very very true and great post. Having a logo that people will remember is key. We are constantly bombarded with advertising all day, so I’m sure logo design hasn’t gotten any easier. Good post.
