    • Do make sure the logo is easily recognizable when printed small, like on a business card, or large, like on a billboard.
    • Don’t mess with the first letter of your business name. It trips people up when they are trying to read your company name.
    • Do choose your fonts wisely and, if at all possible, don’t choose a common font.
    • Don’t use fonts that are hard to read.
    • Don’t use a logo that can only look good in color.
    • Don’t blatantly copy someone else’s logo, it’s just plain wrong.
    So, if you care enough not to use clip art, we’d like to visit with you and learn all about your company and help you create a unique logo and/or brand that will serve your organization well for years to come.To Know More Information visit on Site

    A good logo is to a company what a sound engine is to a car. It is the identity, and the symbol of what a company stands for. Creating an impressive logo design might seem a very simple task, but it is one of the most crucial tasks in the overall brand positioning of a company in any domain. It has to be of such striking appearance that customers instantly identify your company with your logo, as it is the first visual they will be getting of an organisation, and would hence build their initial impression based on the look and feel of the same. Needless to say, one can hardly afford to be lenient in the logo designing aspect of the organisation, which is why DreamSoft Infotech is here to assist you in creating the right kind of image in the market with optimum logo branding solutions.

    One of the most important marketing tools is an effective logo. It provides an easily recognizable identity for business or organization.

    Agreed. I see many logos that fail the first test. Also advertisements. It's gotta be clear and big to be readable at any distance.

    Very good advice. Using photoshop's text editor effects you can make some great looking logos.

    Great approach you have.. I think the most important elements are you selection of font, color and size. We should be careful to choose this elements.

    The preferred way of creating a logo after its been sketched and thought out, should be a vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator or something similar. Adding special effects that Adobe Photoshop provides to make a logo isn't considered standard in the design industry. From what I have seen, Adobe Photoshop CS6 has a lot of similar functionality as Adobe Illustrator but unless you are comfortable using vector tools, I'd stick with Adobe Illustrator. Just my humble opinion.

    Above all make sure your logo is simple. People like no-thinking, easy to glance, identifiable logos. Some of the most successful logos are super simple. Take McDonald or H&R Block.

    Ya I agree that I wouldn't suggest using Photoshop to build your logos and especially don't use any effects.
