What Is the Purpose of a Logo?

 

From the golden arches of McDonalds to the five colourful interlocking rings of the Olympics, logos are everywhere in the modern world. The question is: why? What is the purpose of a logo? Read on to find out.


Branding and Visual Identity

A logo is the public image of a brand. Everyone knows the green mermaid of Starbucks. Everyone knows the blue-and-white lettering of Facebook. A logo is how people visually identify a brand, and thereby the business behind that brand.


How to Use a Logo

There are several uses for a logo as a part of your brand identity:

  • Visual brand identity: everything about your brand is summed up in the logo you use 
  • Attention! Your logo helps your brand stand out from the others and grab the attention of potential customers and clients
  • First impressions count: A logo is part of the first impression formed about your brand by the customer or client. It communicates your brand’s values and something of the services you offer in a single image
  • A logo is recognisable and memorable, aiming to ensure customers and clients come back to your business repeatedly

Your business logo should be used wherever possible: social media profiles, headed notepaper, advertisements, business cards, and even on branded clothing. That way, you’ll be able to maximise the number of potential customers and clients who see it.
