Denver Logo Design – Company Logos For Business Websites

This is a guide for anyone who owns a business in Denver and is looking for some logo design services.

Sample logo designs

First, here are the main reasons to pay for a professional logo:

1. A poorly drawn or generic-looking logo makes your business look more like a “fly-by-night” affair than a professional, successful company.
2. Once you have a professionally designed logo, you can start making all sorts of cool branded gear for your employees and customers.
3. It’s cheap! While some graphic designers demand $300-$500 to work with you to create a simple logo, there are logo design studios that specialize in logo design ONLY and offer significantly lower pricing – $149 will buy you a nice logo.
   

Next, here’s what you can expect from a logo designer:

1. A short questionnaire asking you to answer some general questions about the type of logo you want and an optional request for samples of logos that you like.
2. After you answer the designers questions, you should receive 3 to 5 concepts.
3. You work with the designer to revise the concepts until you find the one you like.

What you can expect to pay (and why we don’t offer logo design services anymore):

At one time Spork Marketing offered logo design services. We work with experienced graphic designers who charge $50-$75 a hour, so our logo design prices were typically $500+. A client told us about Logo Design Team, so we gave them a test.

For $149, they offer:

1. 5 logo design concepts from 5 different designers. You choose one and then…
2. They give you unlimited revisions until you’re 100% satisfied
3. They don’t retain any rights to the work – you own it free and clear.

After testing them and recommending them to quite a few clients, we’ve decided to abandon our own Denver Logo Design services and just direct you to the Logo Design Team instead.

5 website logo design tips for Denver and Colorado businesses:

1. Unless you’ve got a very particular color scheme in mind, we recommend you have your logo designed with a white background. That way, it will be easier to incorporate your company logo into letterhead, web advertising, and any sort of printing you’ll do (like t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.)
2. For websites, we like a 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 logo design ratio. Logos that are 3 or 4 times as long as they are tall tend to look very nice in a website’s header, and they’re easy to adapt to other formats as well.
3. Beware generic imagery. Denver businesses often incorporate the mountains into their logos…it can look great, but it might not stand out.
4. Think about using blue or green as a main color. LOTS of research has been done in terms of finding the “best” color for a website, a logo, etc., and here’s the answer: there is no one “best” color. HOWEVER, having said that, most studies show that the color blue and the color green are universally liked.
5. Stay away from very light pastels. Light pastels are often difficult to see, and often times they are off-putting to a specific gender. A majority of men, for example, dislike pastel pinks and pastel purples.
6. Integrate your web address into your logo. Perhaps our perspective is tainted by our industry, but our biggest regret with our current logo is that it doesn’t clearly display our web address.
7. Think about leaving the tag line out. Tag line text can always be added to the space just above or just below a logo, but it’s much harder to remove text if you don’t want it later (at least not without paying someone to remove it). Tag lines often change (especially if your company is new), so think about leaving the tag line out of your logo. We’ve seen it enough times with our own clients to make it one of our standard recommendations.
