Your logo is an important element of your business and how your company, business, or organization is perceived by current and potential clients and customers is affected by your logo. Modern businesses that are on the cutting edge of technology, science, or some other revolutionary industry often choose an abstract logo to represent them to the public. From business cards to broadcast commercials, promotional materials, freebie items, billboards and more are all types of marketing materials that can be made more appealing with the use of your logo. A broad-reaching abstract logo can sometimes be the best choice for your business. Abstract logos tend to be popular because they are often effective in portraying the image of a company. This is particularly true for businesses that are aiming to expand in the future, which includes nearly all businesses.
Main Benefit of an Abstract Logo
There is an obvious benefit to choosing an abstract logo for your business: versatility. By comparison, a logo that features a particular item, you limit yourself to being known for that item. As an example, let’s say that you sell sprockets, and you choose a logo that features a sprocket in its design. That’s all fine and good until you begin to offer widgets and thingamabobs along with your sprockets. In order for your logo to truly embody your business, you will need to update a traditional design every time you become well-known for something new. With an abstract logo, you don’t have this worry. Your logo covers a range of possibilities instead of just one concept in general. You leave the door open to expansion without the need to redo your logo. Even if your business’ direction changes, your logo can remain intact, effective, and working for you!
More Considerations
It is important to mention that the use of an abstract logo is not right for all businesses or organizations. There are some drawbacks to abstract logos that negate their use in some instances. For example, going for a logo that is so simple and abstract can mean that it does not stand out to the person looking at it. Should you choose, for instance, a blue dot to be your company logo, the chances are very high that there will be many other companies with this same design. Of course, you could register the design as a trademark to ensure that it is unique to your company. Still, a simple blue dot is usually not memorable enough to become an effective logo. Moreover, if you are going for an abstract logo, make sure that it cannot be perceived as something else. For instance, if someone might question whether it is actually a flower or some other symbol, then it is not going to be effective in truly branding your company. If an emblem in your logo is actually representative of something, fine. If not, you don’t want to leave the perception of your logo up in the air in the minds of your potential customers and clients.
