4. <a href="#Zazzle4">Video instruction</a></p>
<p>The Logaster website offers a new option which enables you to print your promotional materials without leaving your home. This is achieved by integrating Logaster and Zazzle. Read below to learn how to print products created on our website.</p>
<h2><a id="Zazzle1"></a>1. About Zazzle</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_091.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2459" alt="Zazzle" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_091.png" width="1362" height="719" /></a></p>
<p>Zazzle is an online platform that prints and delivers promotional materials all over the globe, including the CIS countries.<br />
With Zazzle, you can upload your designs and place them on whatever object you like, from postage stamps to T-shirts to household items. Multiple materials and carriers, embroidered clothing, and digital prints – all you need to create a unique visual identity for your brand.</p>
<h2><a id="Zazzle2"></a>2. How to print a business card with Zazzle</h2>
<p>2.1. <a title="How to make payment and download products created by Logaster?" href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/payment/" target="_blank">Purchase and activate</a> your business card on the Logaster website.</p>
<p>To ensure high quality, you must buy and activate your business card on the Logaster website.<br />
Otherwise, your business card will have the Logaster watermarks. On Zazzle, you’ll see the text “Business card demo (with watermarks)”. Your printed designs will contain watermarks.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_039.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2461" alt="img_039" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_039.png" width="1241" height="835" /></a></p>
<p>2.2 On the Logaster website, click on “Order prints on Zazzle” on your business card page.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_042.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2462" alt="img_042" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_042.png" width="1489" height="913" /></a></p>
<p>You’ll be redirected to Zazzle.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_043.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2463" alt="img_043" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_043.png" width="1204" height="834" /></a></p>
<p>On Zazzle, you’ll be offered additional printing options:</p>
<p>1) The “Customize” option on the “Designed for you by Logaster” tab enables you to add text or an image to your business card (for example, a QR-code), change the background color, and apply filters. Once you’re finished editing, click on “Done” in the upper right corner to return to the menu and save the changes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_110.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2464" alt="img_110" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_110.png" width="1200" height="851" /></a></p>
<p>2) The “Paper type” option enables you to choose the type of paper you’ll be using. Standard white paper is the default option. You can choose paper with a gold or silver sheen or a more solid cardboard. Note that choosing a different paper type affects the overall price (see prices in USD below the paper samples).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_106.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2465" alt="img_106" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_106.png" width="1168" height="557" /></a></p>
<p>3) By using the “Corner Style” option, you can choose sharp or rounded corners.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_107.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2466" alt="img_107" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_107.png" width="1171" height="574" /></a></p>
<p>4) Quantity of items.</p>
<p>To the right of the overall price is a button to select the quantity of items. With business cards available in packages (100 items in each), the price per package is displayed. We take orders for one or more packages.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_108.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2467" alt="img_108" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_108.png" width="1213" height="580" /></a></p>
<p>Once you’re done with the settings, click on “Add to Cart” to proceed to payment.</p>
<h2><a id="Zazzle3"></a>3. Payment and delivery</h2>
<p>3.1. Payment methods:</p>
<p>- Bank card;<br />

<p>If you’re new to Zazzle, you’ll have to register an account.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_047.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2469" alt="img_047" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_047.png" width="1192" height="953" /></a></p>

<h2><a id="Zazzle1"></a>1. About Zazzle</h2>

<p>Zazzle is an online platform that prints and delivers promotional materials all over the globe, including the CIS countries.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With Zazzle, you can upload your designs and place them on whatever object you like, from postage stamps to T-shirts to household items. Multiple materials and carriers, embroidered clothing, and digital prints – all you need to create a unique visual identity for your brand.</p>
<h2><a id="Zazzle2"></a>2. How to print a logo with Zazzle</h2>
<p dir="ltr">2.1. <a title="How to make payment and download products created by Logaster?" href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/payment/" target="_blank">Purchase and activate</a> a logo on the Logaster website.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To ensure high quality, you must buy and activate your selected logo as “For printing and screen”. The PDF files for your logo will be automatically uploaded to Zazzle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2.2. Upon activation, on your logo page you’ll see the button “View 320 products with this logo”. Click on the button to go to Zazzle.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_101.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2475" alt="img_101" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_101.png" width="1294" height="449" /></a></p>

<p>2.4. For certain accessories and clothing, Zazzle may set a default image. If the products contain a logo which is not yours, be sure to upload your logo to Zazzle by yourself.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To do this, you must go back to the Logaster website and download your logo in PDF format against a transparent background.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On Zazzle, find the “Designed for you” section and click on “Customize”. Delete the default image. To do this, click on the text or the icon to get it inside a hatched rectangle. In “Layers” on the right, click on the cross to delete the image.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_099.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2477" alt="img_099" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_099.png" width="1230" height="550" /></a></p>

<p dir="ltr">Next click on “Add Image” and “Upload”. Select your logo file and click on “Done”. Now you can proceed to payment (see below) or check out additional printing options, including:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1) Quantity of items. To the right of the price, you can select any quantity of your printed matter. Some products are available in packages, with several units in each package. The price per unit is displayed.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_112.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2479" alt="img_112" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_112.png" width="1171" height="552" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">2) Key design settings (on the “Designed for you by Zazzle Templates” tab). By clicking on “Customize”, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>add another image;</li>
<li>add text;</li>
<li>rotate the image vertically or horizontally;</li>
<li>change the background color;</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once you’re finished, click on “Done”. Now you can print your design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3) With the “Size” feature, you can set the dimensions of your products. Select any option available.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_104.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2482" alt="img_104" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/img_104.png" width="1257" height="513" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">4) The “Style” option enables you to view your design from different angles and in different styles.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Design is volatile. Constantly evolving, it incorporates new trends and styles. This is equally true for apparel, graphic design, and other industries.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.logaster.com" target="_blank">Logaster</a>, we analyzed 2016 logos to determine what popular trends will dominate the scene next year.</p>
<h2>Minimalism</h2>
<p>Minimalism is about removing unnecessary details and leaving only the essentials. Having been around for several years, minimalism is expected to retain its popularity in 2017. With simple forms, minimal colors and effects, and a smart focus, minimalism allows you to create a unique logo and use it across various backgrounds and platforms.<br />
Take a look at how some well-known companies went back to the basics to make their logos more effective.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Minimal-logo.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2426" alt="minimalism" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Minimal-logo.png" width="687" height="192" /></a></p>
<h2>Letterstacking</h2>
<p>Using text is another easy way to create an original, visually appealing logo. Designers use letterstacking to place a large message on a logo in a concise manner. The text can be stacked horizontally or vertically and paired with various graphic elements. Such logos draw customers’ attention and lead them to focus on the text. Developed in 2016, letterstacking is likely to be a top trend in 2017.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_896.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4494" alt="Letterstacking" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_896.png" width="689" height="194" /></a></p>
<h2>Text logos</h2>
<p>To this day, a classic text logo remains a relevant and effective tool. You can see this for yourself by looking at such well-known brands as Sony, Coca-Cola, Asus, IBM, and many others. In 2016, designers used various fonts paired with minimalist effects, including text stylization, increased/decreased kerning, and a combination of styles (handwritten ones in particular).<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_897.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4495" alt="text logo" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_897.png" width="733" height="167" /></a></p>
<h2>Lettering</h2>
<p>Logos that use lettering look elegant and refined. Although hardly an innovative style, lettering is the best choice for certain categories of companies. Hotels, cafes, and restaurants choose lettering to communicate sophistication and professionalism. It’s safe to say that this sure-fire typographic approach will maintain its popularity in 2017.<br />

<h2>Flat design</h2>
<p>Just like minimalist style, flat design features clean, fine aesthetics without unnecessary refinements. Flat design communicates clarity and comfort.<br />
Austere and neat visual solutions are worthy alternatives to three-dimensional icons with shadows and gradients. With flat design techniques, you can create simple yet highly effective logos.<br />

<h2>Gradients</h2>
<p>With simplistic trends on the rise, gradients could have become history. However, many companies, including <a href="https://designshack.net/articles/graphics/is-the-gradient-making-a-comeback/" target="_blank">Apple</a>, ensured that gradients made a comeback. Still, the way gradients are used in graphic design has changed significantly. Simplicity is what defines gradients today. Gradients were once all about bright colors and bold combinations that added depth and volume. Today, designers achieve this goal by using muted hues and material design colors.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_894.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4504" alt="Gradient logo trends" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_894.png" width="735" height="161" /></a></p>
<h2>Line art</h2>
<p>Minimalism has multiple facets. In their graphic work, logo designers like to use clean, simple images. Line art is a daring minimalist technique. With line art, one uses a solid, usually dark-colored line to draw images. It’s a great way to bring together text and an image.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_899.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4499" alt="Line art" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_899.png" width="721" height="197" /></a></p>
<h2>Stencil typography</h2>
<p>Stencil designs create visually attractive logos. Stencil fonts come in all forms and sizes, so you’re sure to find one that is right for your business. A visual hierarchy makes logos catchy and memorable, meaning that designers are unlikely to drop versatile stencil patterns in 2017.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/trafaret.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4515" alt="trafaret" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/trafaret.png" width="799" height="186" /></a></p>
<h2>Black-and-white logos</h2>
<p>The use of just two colors – black and white – is one of the most unconventional approaches in graphic design. Such logos feature various fonts paired with geometric patterns.<br />
A color palette has always been a powerful tool at the service of designers. Only recently have black and white become the two dominant colors. Designers are exploring this new trend to create unique graphic solutions. Now you can communicate your brand philosophy without using bright colors.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_900.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4498" alt="black and white logos" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_900.png" width="710" height="172" /></a></p>
<h2>Overlapping gradients</h2>
<p>Overlapping gradients peaked in 2016. Simple geometric forms overlap to create a unique style. Overlapping is a relatively new design technique. At first, it had been used mostly in animal-related logos. As it became popular, overlapping gained recognition among the world’s leading companies. Take MasterCard’s latest logo redesign; designers from Pentagram breathed new life into the logo, removing text from the image and dropping shadows. As a result, the icon is now clean and memorable. With its increasing popularity, overlapping gradients has every chance of becoming a leading graphic design trend in 2017.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_901.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4497" alt="Overlapping Gradients" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_901.png" width="701" height="182" /></a></p>
<h2>Geometric shapes</h2>
<p>Although the geometric theme has been around for quite some time, simple geometric shapes are expected to be the highlight of 2017. Geometric shapes are highly effective at creating stylish and unique logos.<br />
At the same time, designers are fascinated by unconventional geometric patterns. For example, 2016 was the year of colorful polygons, both symmetrical and asymmetrical.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_902.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4496" alt="shapes" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_902.png" width="725" height="183" /></a></p>
<h2>Framed text</h2>
<p>By placing a message inside a frame (triangular, circular, rectangular, etc.), you can draw customers’ attention to the text part of your logo. It’s a simple yet smart way to create a visually appealing icon.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_903.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4505" alt="text in shape" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_903.png" width="720" height="170" /></a></p>
<h2>Hand-made logos</h2>
<p>Logos that imitate hand-made images and elements are likely to remain trendy in 2017. A hand-made logo allows for the creation of a wide array of visual effects, including vintage, grunge, and children’s images. Major advantages of this approach include 100-percent uniqueness and wide brand recognition.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_893.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4506" alt="hand-made logo" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_893.png" width="702" height="198" /></a></p>
<h2>Negative space</h2>
<p>The full potential of negative space has yet to be unlocked. Design is what you see. However, once design starts to talk to you, you immediately understand the message. To stand out from the crowd, your logo must be more than meets the eye. This is the reason why designers will continue to experiment with negative space to get a deeper understanding of this amazing technique.<br />
<a href="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_904.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4507" alt="Negative space" src="https://www.logaster.ru/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_904.png" width="684" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>These are only predictions based on the 2016 trends. In 2017, designers are sure to surprise us with fresh ideas and improved styles. Let your inspiration guide you to your best logo! Who knows? You may very well launch a brand-new trend in logo design!</p>

<p>A logo is the first contact between your company and a potential client. A smart logo can make your brand look good and separate it from the rest. At the same time, an inappropriate logo can be very dangerous and make your business look ridiculous.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Строй-min.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2371 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Строй-min.png" width="1390" height="292" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="construction1"></a>1. What does a good construction logo look like?</h2>
<p>What is an ideal construction company in the minds of its clients? It must certainly be reliable, stable, and responsible.</p>
<p>A logo can help you form the right impression about your brand. This requires smart element arrangement and thorough selection of colors, fonts, and icons.</p>
<p>With the <a href="https://www.logaster.com/">Logaster</a> platform and some practical tips, you can make your construction logo in just a matter of minutes. The rest depends on you.</p>
<h2><a id="construction2"></a>2. How to create a logo: methods and tools</h2>
<p>The method you choose depends on your skills and budget. Here are some options:</p>
<ul>
<li>draw a logo by yourself (full control, free, but requires skills and time);</li>
<li>get a designer to create your logo (unique result, but requires money and time to find a true professional);</li>
<li>place an order with a design studio (unique result, any idea put into life in the shortest time, but very expensive);</li>
<li>hold a tender (original logo solutions for reasonable fees, but time-consuming and still costly);</li>
<li>use an online service (free or very cheap, you can adjust different parameters to craft unique logo solutions).</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, each option has its pros and cons. Not every businessman has drawing and designing skills, and design studios charge sky-high rates for their services. This is why using an online logo generator is the most suitable option. Below we’ll break down the method for creating a construction logo in Logaster.</p>
<h2><a id="construction3"></a>3. How to choose an icon</h2>
<p>You probably know that certain images are associated with certain industries.</p>
<p>The most straightforward associations with the construction industry include a crane, a brick wall, a multi-storey house, a man wearing a hard hat, and more. On the other hand, you run the risk of being generic. You can definitely do better. Take the time to analyze your competitors’ logos to avoid repetition.</p>
<p>Let’s use Logaster to find construction-related images. First you need to select the “Construction, real estate” category.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0013.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2372 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0013.png" width="940" height="623" /></a></p>
<p>Logaster will display hundreds of relevant images. To specify your requirements, use keywords in either Russian or English. For example, you can enter “house,” “builder,” and other keywords.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0033.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2373 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0033.png" width="939" height="626" /></a></p>
<p>Keywords will speed up the search process and allow you to find the right icon for your business in no time.</p>
<p><em>Keywords for choosing an icon: construction, building, house, hammer, tool, crane, tractor, nail, equipment, tube</em></p>
<h2><a id="construction4"></a>4. How to choose a color</h2>
<p>A successful color scheme can enhance your logo effectiveness, while inappropriate colors can drive customers away.</p>
<p>With a smart color solution, you can put your potential clients in the right mood. For example, red is mostly associated with love, aggression, power, and energy. Other colors have their own connotations as well. When choosing a color for your logo, keep in mind the basic attributes that characterize your brand.</p>
<p>What color scheme works best for a construction business? To build trust among potential clients, you need to communicate a serious approach, stability, and reliability.<br />
Consider using blue, red, brown, and green.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/choose-logo-color/">Our instructions</a> will help you make the right choice.</p>
<p>Avoid turning your logo into a rainbow by using multiple colors from different palettes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Bild.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2374 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Bild.jpg" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Find out what colors other construction businesses are using. With this information at hand, you’ll figure out what you need to do to separate your business from the competition.</p>
<p>If you’re determined to use more than one color, <a href="https://color.adobe.com/">kuler.adobe.com</a> is just what you need to create the best color combination.</p>
<p>Copy the HEX code of your selected color and insert it into the relevant field during editing.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_005.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2375 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_005.png" width="939" height="625" /></a></p>
<p>To select a color during the logo-making process, click on “Change parameters” in Step 2 and use a color filter.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0043.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2376 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0043.png" width="938" height="625" /></a></p>
<p><em>The best colors for a construction logo: blue, green, red, black, brown.</em></p>
<h2><a id="construction5"></a>5. How to choose a font</h2>
<p>Both font and color affect the way your logo is perceived and remembered. Furthermore, a font determines whether your text will be legible and whether a client will like the visual representation of your brand.</p>
<p>There are multiple guidelines for making the right choice (see <a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/how-to-choose-font-for-logo/">our article</a> on the topic). Below we’ll focus on the main tips for construction businesses.</p>
<p><strong>Font must be legible</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Bild.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2377 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Bild.jpg" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Along with looking good, your text must stay legible across different formats, including a website header, social media pages, business card, badge, etc.<br />
<strong><br />
Font must go in line with icon</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Bild.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2378 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Bild.jpg" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Opt for a solid font to match a massive icon.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid small elements</strong></p>
<p>Stay away from hard-to-read fonts with excessive scrolls and serifs, as well as fancy hand-written fonts.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Bild.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2379 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Bild.jpg" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Straight and clean fonts (Europe, Garamond, MagistralC, etc.) are your best choice. You can change your logo font during editing.</p>
<p><em>Logaster fonts for the construction industry: AA Haymaker, Ageone Serif, Micra, Souvenir, MagistralC, Europe, Garamond, After Disaster, Ubahn.</em></p>
<h2><a id="construction6"></a>6. Experiment with a lock-up</h2>
<p>Element arrangement is yet another thing that impacts the way in which customers view your logo. You can focus on the icon or the text by making either of them larger and more noticeable. Furthermore, you can adjust the distance between components. Logaster allows you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>change element arrangement;</li>
<li>change the size of individual objects (icon or text);</li>
<li>increase or reduce distances between objects.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/11.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2380 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/11.png" width="600" height="150" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="construction7"></a>7. More tips</h2>
<p>To wrap it up, we have prepared recommendations to help you create a neat and smart construction logo.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid cluttering your logo</strong></p>
<p>An icon and a concise message (or simply your company name) are usually more than enough. Do not put several images of construction materials (tools) and full contact information on your logo. This will make your logo look messy.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/21.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2404 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/21.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Avoid using multiple fonts</strong></p>
<p>Opt for just one font. If needed, use two matching fonts, tops. Excessive fonts may undermine your logo effectiveness and legibility.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1l.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2405 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1l.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Avoid using multiple colors</strong></p>
<p>If you think one-color logos are dull, incorporate 2-4 matching colors and shades.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Bild1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2383 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Bild1.jpg" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Leave blank spaces</strong></p>
<p>Do not try to fill up all blank space with graphical objects and text. Leave enough space between and around the elements. Your logo will look good across different products, including business cards and other printing materials.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoBuild.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2384 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoBuild.png" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Analyze your competitors without copying them</strong></p>
<p>Your logo is what separates your brand from the rest. Imitating existing ideas will hardly lead you to success. Learn from the experience of successful companies, analyze their logo solutions, and make your own logo even better.</p>
<p><strong>Save your logo in vector format</strong></p>
<p>Be sure to create your logo in vector format. This will allow you to scale your logo without loss of quality and to place it on different products, from business cards to banners.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font93-min.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2385 aligncenter" alt="construction logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font93-min.png" width="942" height="235" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="construction8"></a>Wrapping it up</h2>

<p>A logo is the first thing seen by an online shop customer. An effective logo has the power to promote your shop, inform customers about its advantages, and set it apart from the competition. A poorly designed logo, on the other hand, may leave people indifferent or confused, and even drive them away.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1StoreNew.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2348 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1StoreNew.jpg" width="1024" height="576" /></a></p>
<p>To make a neat online shop logo with minimum time and money investments, use the <a href="https://www.logaster.com">Logaster</a> online service and follow the useful guidelines below.</p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop1"></a>1. What does a good online shop logo look like?</h2>
<p>Each online shop sells certain products to certain categories of clients. Your target audience are attracted by unique attributes your brand has to offer.</p>
<p>But there is something common among all clients: any customer is looking for high-quality products, reasonable prices, and reliable online sellers. This is a basic set of attributes upon which you can expand based on your target audience preferences.</p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop2"></a>2. How to create a logo</h2>
<p>There are different ways to create a logo. You can either make it yourself (free but time-consuming), get a designer or design studio to do the job (time-efficient but costly), or hold a tender and place an order with the winner (financially savvy but requires more time). There is another option, though. You can use an online logo generator (fast and relatively cheap).</p>
<p>While each of these options has its advantages and drawbacks, an online generator seems like the best solution. In this article, we will take you through a Logaster logo-making process.</p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop3"></a>3. How to pick an icon</h2>
<p>Your logo icon needs to reflect what you’re selling. It may incorporate any item, including household appliances, cosmetics, clothes, and other. Furthermore, consider things closely associated with shopping, such as bags, boxes, shopping carts, discount symbols, etc.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Store1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2349 alignnone" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Store1.png" width="600" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Use the logos of other online shops as sources of inspiration. However, try to avoid clichés and trite solutions. Explore your competitors’ logos without copying them.</p>
<p>Finding the right icon in Logaster is a piece of cake. First select your category – e.g., “Business” or “Internet.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0012.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2350 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0012.png" width="939" height="619" /></a></p>
<p>To get more accurate search results, enter keywords in either Russian or English. You can use such words as “shopping cart,” “shop,” “discount,” “money,” or any product you’re selling. Logaster will display a wide selection of relevant images from which to choose.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0022.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2351 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0022.png" width="941" height="622" /></a></p>
<p><em>Keywords to search for an icon: shopping cart, shopping, discount, bag, commerce, money, purse</em></p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop4"></a>4. How to pick a color</h2>
<p>Logo color is just as important as an icon. Color has the power to attract potential customers or scare them away.</p>
<p>When choosing a color scheme, focus on red, blue, and green (plus their shades). In the <a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/choose-logo-color/">infographics</a> below, you can see that these colors have the power to put customers into the right mood.</p>
<p>Compare your color solution with the ones used by your competitors. This will give you plenty of useful information and a nudge in the right direction.</p>
<p>Remember that a multi-colored logo is not always a good idea. If one color does not seem to be enough for you, use 2-4 matching colors. With <a href="https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/">kuler.adobe.com</a>, creating balanced color schemes will become a simple and enjoyable process.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Store1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2352 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Store1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In Logaster, insert the HEX code of your selected color into the relevant field.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0042.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0042.png" width="942" height="628" /></a></p>
<p>Another option is to click on “Change parameters” in Step 2 of your logo-making process.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0032.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2354 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0032.png" width="940" height="625" /></a><br />
<em><br />
Preferred colors for an online shop logo: blue, red, green.</em></p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop5"></a>5. How to pick a font</h2>
<p>Be sure to select the right font for your logo. It’s the font that determines how easy to read and recognizable your logo will be. For more helpful guidelines, please read our article, “<a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/how-to-choose-font-for-logo/">How to Choose a Font for Your Logo</a>”. Below we’ll consider the main requirements for your logo font.</p>
<p><strong>Readability.</strong> Logo text is a short message you want to communicate to your customers. The font must be easy to read across formats, from a business card to a banner.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Store1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2355 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Store1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Balance.</strong> Your font must go well with your icon. A thin and elegant font is a good choice for a refined icon. For a larger image, be sure to use a massive font. Here are some fonts to pair with bulky icons: After Disaster, Europe, Garamond, etc.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Store1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2357 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Store1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Avoid small elements.</strong> Say “no” to scrolls, serifs, and curves which are common for hand-written fonts. All this will make your text hard to read on a small-size logo. Consider using clean and straight fonts, such as MagistralC, Souvenir, Micra, and others.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Store1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2358 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Store1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Logaster offers a wide collection of the best fonts. Each of these fonts may become an ideal choice for your online brand.</p>
<p><em>Logaster fonts for your online shop: AA Haymaker, MagistralC, Garamond, Ubahn, Esqadero, Comfortaa, Caviar Dreams, Prosto, Roboto, Revalia.</em></p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop6"></a>6. Experiment with element arrangement</h2>
<p>The way the icon and the text are arranged on your logo may affect the customer’s perception of your brand. So don’t be afraid to change the lock-up!</p>
<p>You can focus on the icon or text, play around with lock-up, and adjust the size of elements and distance between them. In Logaster, you can compose the best combination with no effort at all.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7StoreNew.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2359 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7StoreNew.png" width="600" height="150" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="onlineshop7"></a>7. More useful tips</h2>
<p>Finally, here are some helpful guidelines for ensuring the logo-making process goes smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>Be concise.</strong></p>
<p>Do not try to squeeze many graphic objects and text messages into your logo. This will make it look cluttered and chaotic. The only things you really need are an icon and a short text (your shop name, slogan, or any other brief message).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/31.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2400 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/31.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Use fewer fonts and colors.</strong></p>
<p>It must be said that there are successful logos with two fonts. However, such cases are rare, so try to use only one font.</p>
<p>Putting multiple colors in your logo, you risk turning it into a bright stain. Stylish and smart logos incorporate one or two colors, plus their shades.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Store11.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2361 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Store11.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Do not try to use up all the blank space.</strong></p>
<p>Leave some free space on the edges and between the elements. This will make your logo legible across different products and formats.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoMarket.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2362 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoMarket.png" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Create your logo in vector format.</strong></p>
<p>This trick will save you time and allow you to reproduce your logo on surfaces of any size.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font94-min1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2363 aligncenter" alt="online shop logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font94-min1.png" width="942" height="235" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Do not imitate your competition.</strong></p>
<p>Examine their accomplishments, learn from their experience, draw conclusions… but craft your own unique logo which will be better than its prototypes!</p>
<p>We hope that we have showed you that creating a logo is quite possible. The Logaster online service and some useful recommendations are all you need to excel at this task.

<p>You must have heard the saying “Fine dress helps to impress.” If you’re planning to open an online clothing store, you need to do more than just provide a wide and attractive selection of shoes, apparel, and accessories. You need to craft a unique visual identity for your brand.</p>
<p>A logo is an important part of your brand style. It’s the first thing a customer sees, so you need to use this opportunity to make the right impression and separate your brand from the rest.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Одежда.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2329 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Одежда.png" width="1000" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>With the <a href="https://www.logaster.com/">Logaster</a> service, you can create your clothing logo in a matter of minutes. With the tips below, making a logo has never been easier.</p>
<h2><a id="clothing1"></a>1. What does a good clothing logo look like?</h2>
<p>Each store uses its logo to make the right impression on its target audience. You can communicate any message to your clients, such as “elite clothing” or “reasonable prices.” Moreover, a logo can channel such attributes as quality, style, durability, comfort, and many more.</p>
<p>Make sure to consider the interests and expectations of your target audience. For example, a merry and bright logo is a great idea for a children’s clothing store. At the same time, it is hardly appropriate for an online store selling men’s wear and accessories. When designing your future concept, think about the feelings and associations your products evoke.</p>
<h2><a id="clothing2"></a>2. Creating a logo: methods and tools</h2>
<p>Everything depends on your possibilities. You can design a logo all by yourself, commission a designer or design studio, hold a tender, or use a specialized online service.</p>
<p>Each of the above options has its pros and cons. If you are bad at drawing or pressed for time, prepare to pay big to a designer or design studio. If time is not an issue, holding a tender might be a good idea. With online services, you can save both time and money. Let’s break down how to use Logaster to create an ideal logo for your online clothing store.</p>
<h2><a id="clothing3"></a>3. Start with an icon</h2>
<p>Your icon can be related to the fashion industry and feature men’s or women’s silhouettes. Animal images may be a great choice for children’s wear, as well as for adult apparel and accessories. Moreover, your logo can incorporate accessories you’re selling (gloves, hats, belts, glasses) or other wardrobe items. Many online clothing stores prefer text logos with beautiful hand-written fonts.</p>
<p>The problem is that the above images will make your logo look like any other visual symbol in the clothing industry. While following popular trends is a good thing, be sure to use fresh ideas to set your logo apart from the others.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Moda1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2330 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Moda1.png" width="600" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Now let’s get down to business. Start by selecting your clothing store category in Logaster.</p>
<p>If you’re selling office clothing, you should try the “Business” category. For children’s wear, select “Home, family, children.” For trendy wear, shoes, and accessories, pick “Fashion, art.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0011.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2331 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0011.png" width="943" height="620" /></a></p>
<p>Logaster will offer you hundreds of high-quality images from which to choose. If you haven’t found the right icon or if you have special requirements, you should use keywords to specify your search request.</p>
<p>Feel free to enter keywords in either Russian or English. Some examples of keywords include “clothes,” “man,” “woman,” “shop,” names of any wardrobe items, and the like. This will make it easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking for.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0021.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2332 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0021.png" width="943" height="623" /></a></p>
<p><em>Keywords to pick an icon: clothes, man, child, woman, shop, wardrobe, pants, shirt, trousers, shoes, belt.</em></p>
<h2><a id="clothing4"></a>4. Pick a color</h2>
<p>A neat color scheme can increase your logo’s effectiveness, just like an inappropriate color scheme can drive away potential clients.</p>
<p>Color has the power to set a certain mood and evoke certain associations. For example, red symbolizes passion, activity, power, energy, and love. It’s highly important to find the best color to reflect your brand identity.</p>
<p>But what colors are good for the shopping industry? And a clothing shop in particular? First, consider bright colors that draw customers’ attention. Second, figure out what attributes characterize your business (see paragraph 1). Here are the connotations behind some of the brightest colors:</p>
<ul>
<li>red (bright, energetic, catchy);</li>
<li>pink (great choice for children’s wear);</li>
<li>yellow (sunny color associated with joy, positive vibes, and energy);</li>
<li>black (refined style and elegance).</li>
</ul>
<p>Take a look at your rivals’ logos to explore successful color solutions for your niche.</p>
<p>Read <a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/choose-logo-color/">our article</a> to learn more about the messages behind different colors.</p>
<p>Try to avoid multi-colored logos. If needed, use no more than two matching colors, plus their shades.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7Moda1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2335 aligncenter" alt="7Moda1" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7Moda1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Consider using <a href="https://color.adobe.com/">kuler.adobe.com</a> to create smart color schemes.</p>
<p>In Logaster, set your preferred color by pasting its HEX code into the relevant field during editing.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0041.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2336 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0041.png" width="942" height="626" /></a></p>
<p>Or you can use your selected color filter in Step 2 of your logo design process (click on “Change parameters”).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0031.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2337 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_0031.png" width="940" height="621" /></a></p>
<p><em>The best colors for your clothing shop: red, pink, yellow, black.</em></p>
<h2><a id="clothing5"></a>5. Choose a font</h2>
<p>Font is just as important to your logo as color. Logo-color combination impacts the visual perception of your logo. Furthermore, it determines how legible and memorable your text message will be.</p>
<p>For more information, check out our article “<a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/how-to-choose-font-for-logo/">How to Choose a Font for Your Logo</a>”. Below we’ll focus on the key criteria you should keep in mind when picking a font for your clothing store.</p>
<p><strong>Legibility.</strong> Along with being visually attractive, a font must be easy to read across different backgrounds (website header, social media page, business card, badge, T-shirt, etc.).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Moda11.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2338 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Moda11.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Balance.</strong> Pick a thick font (Garamond, Europe, etc.) to match a large icon. If your logo features a small icon or none at all, feel free to play around with more refined fonts.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Moda1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2339 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Moda1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Be careful with minor elements.</strong> In the search for a perfect option, avoid hard-to-read fancy fonts with multiple scrolls and serifs. Souvenir, Micra, and similar fonts will do just fine.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Moda1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2340 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Moda1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Logaster allows you to experiment with various fonts and font sizes during editing.</p>
<p><em>Logaster fonts for your clothing shop: Airplanes in the Night Sky, Caviar Dreams, Ageone Serif, Bosanava, Aderson the Secret Service, Fondamento, Decordi.</em></p>
<h2><a id="clothing6"></a>6. Play around with a lock-up</h2>
<p>Element arrangement affects the way customers perceive your logo. Make sure to leave enough space between the icon and the text, but don’t overdo it unless you want your elements to look isolated. Feel free to play around with the lock-up by focusing on either the icon or text.</p>
<p>In Logaster, you can change the distance between elements, as well as adjust their size and arrangement.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Moda1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2341 aligncenter" alt="clothing logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Moda1.png" width="600" height="150" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="clothing7"></a>7. Wrap it up</h2>

<p>A restaurant logo is a visual symbol by which clients will recognize your venue. Whether on business cards, booklets, banners, dishes, or websites, your restaurant logo can convince customers that your restaurant is worth visiting. And vice versa: a poorly designed or inappropriate logo can drive away potential customers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2301 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1Restoran1.png" width="900" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>With the <a href="https://www.logaster.com/">Logaster</a> service, making a smart restaurant logo has never been easier. Below we answer the key questions you may face while developing your logo concept.</p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo1"></a>1. What does a smart restaurant logo look like?</h2>
<p>Most restaurant logos are designed around the national cuisine (Italian, Chinese, French, Japanese, etc.) in which your venue specializes. Seafood, sushi, rolls, and pizza are some images commonly depicted on restaurant logos.</p>
<p>Furthermore, your logo needs to inform clients about your venue’s specifics and style. Before choosing an icon, font and color, you need to figure out what message you want to communicate to your potential clients.</p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo2"></a>2. How to create a logo</h2>
<p>There are different ways to put your logo idea into reality. You may design your logo by yourself or get someone else to do this. Moreover, it depends on how much time and money you’re ready to invest.</p>
<p>If your budget allows, you can use the services of a designer (or design studio) or hold a tender. If you have enough time, you can also draw a logo yourself – either by hand, or in a special editor.</p>
<p>Using an online editor (such as Logaster) is the best solution for saving both time and money. In this article, we will consider this option in detail.</p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo3"></a>3. How to pick the right icon</h2>
<p>As we already mentioned, groceries and food are very popular logo images. Here are some more restaurant-related items:</p>
<ul>
<li>tableware (spoon, fork, knife, glass, dish);</li>
<li>chef’s hat and apron;</li>
<li>kitchen utensils (saucepan, spatula, ladle);</li>
<li>oven, stove, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Restoran.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2303 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2Restoran.png" width="900" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The problem is that such images will make your logo generic and faceless. Before making the final decision, be sure to check your competitors’ logos to avoid repetition.</p>
<p>When choosing an icon in Logaster, you first need to select the right category. For a restaurant logo, pick the “Hotels, restaurants” category.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_001.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2304 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_001.png" width="943" height="623" /></a></p>
<p>Logaster will show you all kinds of gastronomical images. You can filter them by entering Russian or English keywords. For example, you can use such keywords as “spoon,” “fish,” “wine glass,” etc. to find the respective images.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_002.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2305 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_002.png" width="942" height="620" /></a></p>
<p><em>Keywords to pick an icon: restaurant, table, spoon, dish, fish, glass, chef, chef’s hat, wine, piano.</em></p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo4"></a>4. How to pick the right color</h2>
<p>Choosing an effective color for your restaurant logo is key. The right color makes your logo memorable and purpose-oriented. Remember that each color has specific connotations.</p>
<p>For the food industry and restaurant business, avoid colors that are too bright. Consider using natural food colors, including muted red, shades of yellow and brown, classical black, and others.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Restoran2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2306 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Restoran2.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Check out <a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/choose-logo-color/">our article</a> about the connotations behind different colors. This information will help you form the message communicated via your logo.</p>
<p>Furthermore, analyzing logos of other restaurant businesses may guide you in the right direction.</p>
<p>If you want to use not one but several colors or shades, be sure to put together a balanced combination. We recommend that you check <a href="https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/">kuler.adobe.com</a> for this purpose.</p>
<p>After making up your mind about the color, insert its HEX code into the relevant field in Logaster.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_003.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2307 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_003.png" width="941" height="622" /></a></p>
<p>Another option is to use a color filter in Step 2 of your logo design process. To do this, first click on “Change parameters”.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_004.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2308 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_004.png" width="942" height="621" /></a><br />
<em><br />
The best color solutions for a restaurant logo are muted red, shades of yellow and brown, and black.</em></p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo5"></a>5. How to pick the right font</h2>
<p>If your logo incorporates text, you’ll have to choose a font. For more information on picking an effective font, read our article “<a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/how-to-choose-font-for-logo/">How to Choose the Font for your Logo</a>”. Below we will consider the most important criteria.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your font must be legible</strong>. Make sure your text stays readable on logos of any size.</li>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2309 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/4Restoran1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<li><strong>Your font must match the icon</strong>. Note that massive fonts (After Disaster, Europe, Garamond, etc.) go well with massive icons.</li>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2310 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5Restoran1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<li><strong>No small details</strong>. Fancy scrolls and hand-written fonts make your text hard to read on small logos. Go for clean and simple fonts, such as Micra, MigistralC, and others.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2311 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6Restoran1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In Logaster, you can change a font while editing your logo.<br />
<em><br />
Logaster fonts for your café/restaurant logo: Oranienbaum, Croissant One, Andantino script, Dita Sweet, Comfortaa, Garamond</em></p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo6"></a>6. Can I play around with a lock-up?</h2>
<p>You most definitely should. You can draw attention to the icon or text by making these elements bigger, or you can leave more space between components.<br />
Logaster allows you to adjust the lock-up and change the distance between elements and their sizes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2314 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/7Restoran1.png" width="600" height="200" /></a></p>
<h2><a id="restaurantlogo7"></a>7. More tips</h2>
<p>To wrap things up, here are some extra recommendations to help you create a smart and unique logo.</p>
<ul>
<li>Do not clutter your logo. An icon and a short message are more than enough. In some cases, it’s better to choose just one component – either an icon or text. Say “no” to multiple images and long messages.</li>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/8Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2317 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/8Restoran1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<li>Avoid using multiple fonts. Focus on just one font or two matching fonts, tops. With more fonts, your logo will look messy.</li>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/9Restoran1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2318 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/9Restoran1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<li>Do not turn your logo into a rainbow. If one or two colors are not enough, you can use as many as four colors and their shades.</li>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Restoran21.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2319 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/3Restoran21.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<li>Leave some blank space on the edges. Closely arranged elements make your logo visually unfriendly. To reproduce effectively across different products and backgrounds, your logo needs air.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoRestoran.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2320 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoRestoran.png" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<li>Avoid imitating your competition. Learn from others without copying their ideas. Analyze successful logo solutions and improve them to make your logo even better!</li>
<li>Create your logo in vector format. This will save you time and effort. Moreover, you won’t have to readjust your logo for different formats.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font94-min.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2321 aligncenter" alt="restaurant logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font94-min.png" width="942" height="235" /></a></p>

<p>If you’ve made up your mind, use keywords to specify your search request. Both Russian and English keywords will do perfectly.</p>

<h2><a id="cafe3"></a>3. Which font is the best</h2>
<p>For detailed guidelines, read our article, “<a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/how-to-choose-font-for-logo/">How to Choose a Font for Your Logo</a>”. Here we will focus only on the key criteria:</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Legibility. Your text must be easy to read across logos of different sizes;</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2285 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>No minor elements. Avoid multiple scrolls and serifs in hand-written fonts, as they make text on small-size logos unreadable;</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2286 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Font-icon combination. Pair bulky fonts with massive icons.</li>

<p>In Logaster, you can pick any font for your café logo during editing.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_014.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2288 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Selection_014.png" width="944" height="621" /></a></p>
<p><em>Smart font choices for your café logo: СP Font, Cuprum, Oranienbaum, Croissant One, Andantino Script, Dita Sweet, Comfortaa.</em></p>
<h2><a id="cafe4"></a>4. Useful recommendations</h2>
<p><strong>Use one font, two tops.</strong> One font is your best choice. Two fonts are acceptable only if text dominates your logo.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/51.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2396 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/51.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Do not clutter your logo.</strong> A recognizable icon and a legible café name (or short motto) are the only things your logo really needs.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/61.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2397 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/61.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Do not overdo it with colors.</strong> Even if you’re creating a bright logo for your art café, avoid using more than 4 colors.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2291 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6.png" width="800" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Leave enough free space on the edges.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoCoffee.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2292 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/logoCoffee.png" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Be sure to save your logo in vector format.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font91-min.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2293 aligncenter" alt="cafe logo" src="https://www.logaster.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Font91-min.png" width="947" height="261" /></a></p>
