A logo is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a logotype or wordmark. by Wikipedia
 

Before humans can read, they can recognize logos.
Three year olds recognize McDonald’s, Toys R Us, and Disney before they can read the word “cat.”

This is because the brand behind the logo consistently delivers a reward that the kid can understand and appreciate.

Time for redesign logo?

 
strong logo can have big impact on your business. Sometimes companies get it right the first time (think: Shell and Nike) and never have to revisit their logo. But more often than not, a logo has to be tweaked or adjusted to keep up with shifts and changes in your company (or the design world). This is especially true for businesses with longevity (which is not a bad problem to have)—the logo you created in 1974 is probably not going to speak to customers in 2017.

Your logo is not going to reveal
the entire story of your brand.

It’s impossible.


Your logo should be a hint of what your brand’s about.
That’s why your color story is so important.
Color gives the tone thatmy brand is:
happy, or serious, or passionate, or youthful, or healthy.

Closely related to the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio describes the perfectly symmetrical relationship between two proportions.

Set Your Dimensions With The Golden Ratio. Consider the Golden Ratio a useful guideline for determining dimensions of layout. One very simple way to apply the Golden Ratio is to set your dimensions to 1:1.618. For example, take your typical 960-pixel width layout and divide it by 1.618.

The Psychology of Color in logo

What makes a logo memorable is primarily color choice and then a magical combination of cleverness, subliminal association, and editing.
It’s a well known marketing strategy to attract customers with color. Color evokes strong emotions and associations inside of our brains.
You cannot over-emphasize the importance of color in your logo design.
A study by the University of Loyola, Maryland found that color boosts brand recognition by a whooping 80%
