Don’t rely on the first sketch you just made. It might not deliver the message which it will deliver after getting transformed. Sketch every idea that comes to your mind regarding the logo. Leave the sketches and think in a different direction. Sketch again. Pick the best sketches and select one or two according to your understanding. Refine your final work.

Technique 04 – Analysis

TheLogoNow recommends you to analyze your logo whether your logo design company fulfills the basic demands or not. Also check its potential to become a brand identity. Seek the communication level of the logo and make changes if required. This type of assessment is technical, not conceptual.

Technique 05 – Pricing

The price of your logo is based on the conception and efforts of the logo design company to develop the logo. Try to keep the price section ‘negotiable’ when taking the contract. However, if you are placing your design in some competition, then you will have your logo price before taking the project.
