Hey everybody! ๐Ÿ‘‹

In my experience of designing Logo and Identity Systems, I have had the fortune of interacting with a lot of clients. Those clients were typically Co-founders, CXOs, Marketing Leads and such.

I also noticed some things in most of those interactions:

๐Ÿ‘‰ They will have limited or no idea about what a typical outcome may (or should) look like

๐Ÿ‘‰ They find it difficult to envision if the Designer/ Agency can translate their vision into an Identity System

๐Ÿ‘‰ Naturally, they will feel reluctant before starting the project

Many of them even shared similar concerns during or at the end of the project. And honestly, I get it.

This series is the result of such conversations. I intend to provide you with a simple yet effective overview of a Logo Design project.

It doesnโ€™t matter if you are a Non-Designer or a Designer. By the end of the series, you will learn about:

โœ… What a typical Logo Design project outcome looks like

โœ… The role you (as a CXO, Co-founder, Marketing Lead) play in a Logo Design project

โœ… How to Hire a Designer or an Agency to design your Logo, with confidence
