Meet with your client to find the answer of these questions:

  1. What is the exact logo text?
  2. Understand the Business.
  3. Know about the Target Audience.
  4. Do they need a Wordmark logo or a Graphic mark logo?
  5. Ask for 5 logos they like.
  6. Ask a tagline which represents their business goal. It’s not necessary to add it on a logo but this will help to streamline your thinking about the branding ideas.

 

Step 2: Think

Start thinking and write down all your ideas along with the images to share with your client.

  1. Take help from Google or Nature to grab information, to increase your thinking area but not to steal any logo idea.
  2. Think at least for 4 days.

 

Step 3: Second Meeting

  2. Search fonts which suit your ideas.
  3. Create the black-in-white version of the logos and create at least 3 samples for each idea.
