Graphics and Logo designing
Logo Design
A logo is the "face" of a company. It is a single mark, emblem, or symbol used to identify a business in the simplest and most direct manner. It is the cornerstone of a brand's identity.
Characteristics of an Effective Logo:
An excellent logo is not merely decorative; it is strategic. The "Big Five" principles of logo design are:
- Simple: A clean, uncluttered design makes it instantly recognizable and easy to remember.
- Memorable: It should have a unique quality that stays in the viewer's mind after a single glance.
- Versatile: The logo must work effectively across a variety of mediums and sizes—from a tiny app icon to a large billboard or the side of a pen.
- Relevant: The design should be appropriate for the target audience and industry the brand operates within.
- Timeless: A good logo can endure the test of time and won't need a redesign every few years just to stay "trendy."

- Branding & Identity: Business cards, stationery, and collateral materials (where logos are used extensively).
