Color logo is an integral element of good design. With so much psychology and emotion related to color shades, it can be difficult to choose your own color palette when designing. Specific nuances can evoke different emotions, associations and reactions, which affect the perception of the brand. Simply put, the choice of colors can design or spoil the design. When designing, especially logos, we want to make sure that we order something with selected colors.

What does the color of the logo say?

Although there is an endless choice of logo colors that we can choose, we remind you that it is best to choose three to four colors. This will create the color palette we work with and create customizable designs.

 

The importance of color in design

People are naturally attracted to certain shades, because colors are very good for eliciting an emotional response, either positive or negative. So how can we use colors to our advantage and ensure that our designs leave the desired impression? In this text, we will explore and examine how to choose the best colors for our logos.

Simply put, color is important in design because it stimulates our brain. We get most of our information through sight. And colors are the element that gives meaning to what (the environment) we see. An example is the traffic light of how colors can dramatically affect our understanding and cooperation with the world around us.

 

Color psychology

Psychology boja is the study of colors as determinants of human behavior. The psychological impact of color is somewhat subjective, as there are a number of factors that affect how we experience color. Factors such as previous associations, personal preferences, as well as the culture in which we live.

Any color used in the logo will deliver a message. Ideally, the message will reflect the personality and purpose of the brand, and at the same time will address the target audience.

Be it brand recognition and prominence or messages focused on specific target groups. The color of the logo will highlight your business and the message you want to promote.
