The word logo has become in recent years a synonym of branding. Let’s be clear, the logo is not branding. Is just a part of it, it is indeed a very important visual element from your brand, but if your brand has been built from the ground up, there is way much thinking behind it.
The main function of a logo is to distinguish your brand from other brands. The following characteristics must be used when analyzing the effectiveness of an Ocean friendly brand logo and its ability to perform its role in identifying your brand.
- Simple. You want to aim for clarity and avoid noise and complications. It has to reproduce well in white and black
- Distinct. You want to aim for uniqueness and avoid looking like the competition.
- Memorable. You want to aim for making an impact and avoid blending in.
- Strategic. You want to aim to appeal to your audience’s personality and avoid being an identity that looks on style only.

Don’t feel that your logo needs to be clever, that’s where most brands builders get most tripped off.. Simplicity and clarity have to be the number one priority. Business owners often neglect simplicity and that can mean they end up with something that is neither simple or clever.
All of these logos whether you recall brand experiences or not.. meet the characteristics described earlier. They are all simple, distinctive and memorable. If your logo can tick all those boxes and is developed around your strategy it will likely succeed in its job which is brand recall.
