Discover How The Look Of Your Logo Both Colors and Shapes Perception [Infographic]

If you want your brand to convey a friendly and affordable image, you’ll have it made in the shade with an orange logo. And if you’re striving to target a female market, then circle in on a round logo. These were two of findings featured in a new infographic, “What the Color of Your Logo Says About Your Company,”

by Canadian plastic-card producer, Colorfast, which was featured in Entrepreneur.com. The graphic revealed the power and persuasion of color, shape, and font on the consumer’s view of a business.

Savvy brands know that it takes only a second to form a first impression, so a brand’s initial image can affect its future success. The secret is knowing which shades and shapes convey a brand’s nature, and then using those basic elements to design a desirable logo.
