An effective logo should be appropriate, vivid, practical, and simple and at the same time convey the intended message. The most important principle to keep in mind, while designing, is that the logo should be simplistic. The advantage of having a simple design is that it is easily recognizable and also slows the logo to be conspicuous and adaptable. It is important the logo be unique and yet be simple.

The next principle is memorability. The logo design in order to be effective has to be easily recognizable to the consumer. It should be made sure that the design is distinctive and clear, and then it will be easily to remember. An effective logo should also be able to endure the changing trends over the coming years. It should be timeless. A good example is the Coca Cola logo which has remained the same over many decades.

Another important quality of a good logo is flexibility. It must be able to adapt to various applications and mediums. It is preferable to design in vector format so that it can be scaled to different sizes. The contrast should also be good so that printing problems don’t occur. Finally, the logo should be appropriate for the business it represents. Font styles and colors should be selected accordingly.
