In an overcrowded marketplace that is staggering under the weight of marketing communication, brands are having a tough time making their presence felt. The consumer is inundated with messages from morning to night and retains little at the end of the day. In this age of information overload, companies are waking up to the need for more concise, simplistic, and visual representations to cut through the clutter. It could be a catchy jingle, a creative interpretation, or a smart visual reminder in the form of the logo. This article examines why logo creation is seen as mandatory to increase brand value:
Ease Of Communication: Jingles require audio delivery, and creative advertisements require people to sit through them, but a logo can be delivered anywhere in a matter of seconds on top of a pizza box, on the T-shirt of your favorite hockey player, or even on the nifty cardholder that you are giving out free at your next product launch.
Cost Of Communication: Not only can a logo be put onto any kind of print media, it costs next to nothing as compared to long-winded commercials or even radio jingles. It is actually one of the cheapest ways to remind customers of your existence. It is one of the least intrusive ways to make your presence felt in a consumer's mind.
Scope Of Communication: Due to its very simplicity and low cost, a logo lends itself to several uses. You cannot always make people hear a pitch on the company, bring them to your website, or even read the news article in the morning paper. You can, however, always leave a visual impact in the form of a logo.
People spend a lot of money on creating the best logo representation of what they stand for. The Nike swoosh is an iconic logo and perhaps a great representation of the power of a logo and what it can do for your brand.
The swoosh seen on a shoe, an advertisement, or even a T shirt of an athlete, reminds customers of the Nike promise even without the company having to say a single world.
A logo has a quiet, dignified presence in a world dominated by people screaming slogans and makes more impact than 100s of words or visuals. It is important, however, to choose a visual that adds depth to your brand value and has something of its own to say. It is imagery that you will be using on company letterheads, collateral, listings, and other promotional material. It will sometimes be the only reminder of your company's association with any product or cause. It should be distinctive enough to stand out as well as easy enough to assimilate. Make sure that it has no offensive interpretation in any culture or language. Once you have it registered, you can go ahead and start using it to enhance your brand value.
