One of your most important brand assets is your logo. The logo you place on your website or Facebook page contributes to that important first impression a prospect forms when he or she visits your site or social media page. Logos can be classified in five different categories (see breezycreativedesign.com & nodinx.com)
- Word Mark – typically your company name in a carefully selected font type
- Letter Mark – usually the initials of your company name
- Symbol – typically a memorable image that can be abstract or concrete
- Combination – usually a combination of a symbol and company name
- Emblem – typically a symbol that encases the company name
Increasingly, businesses and professionals are turning to design crowdsourcing sites for web design and logo design. But logo design crowdsourcing is not new. As early as 1936, Toyota relied on a contest to design its logo. Here’re 15 winning logo designs in wealth management, insurance and accounting that are created on crowdsourcing sites MycroBurst, CrowdSpring, DesignCrowd and 99Designs. The fees for these logos ranged from $199 to $400. The number of design concepts received for each project varied from 47 to 184, and the number of designers who competed for a project, 9 to 54.
